I wish they'd done that last offseason.

Paradis isn't an NFL calibre player anymore. Hasn't been since his plane first landed in Charlotte.

The stadium was built in the mid 90s. What the fug do you Americans build your stadiums out of, polystyrene?

I'd happily take this OLine over what we ran out there last year: LT - Byron Bell LG - Andrew Norwell C - Ryan Kalil RG - Trai Turner RT - Nate Chandler

They've managed to properly evaluate him behind the worst OLine in Panthers history? Damn they're good at their jobs.

What I took from that interview is Fitterer and Rhule have mentally moved on from Darnold, which is of course moronic.

I wouldn't read anything into this - he's not going to tell you his Draft Board.

Cos it makes the Bucs weaker.

On the flip side, Thompson wasn't contributing until this new coaching staff came in.

What we don't spend this year rolls over to next year, no?

I haven't scouted many prospects this year - I just don't have the time / will to do so. I've briefly looked at the top OTs and QBs. There's just something off about Neal. Take this play: A man that big shouldn't be getting bodied like that. He was the #1 OT coming out of HS (#7 overall player) and he's received the best coaching in College. (there's a blatant hold on the long TD pass at 2:10 too) With his size, athleticism and the coaching he's received he SHOULD be absolutely dominant, and I just don't see it. I think, much like coming out of HS, he's being ranked on the fact that he's the first guy off the bus rather than his on-field play.

We don't know what Willis runs - also Walker technically played at a higher level.

I can't fathom why this gif is used as a positive. It's a cuck slapping a man - a man who shrugs it off and is incredibly professional in the aftermath. He could have verbally obliterated Smith, but he got on with the show.

I think it's win-win. If we draft a LT and Darnold continues to fail then both he and Rhule are out. If we draft a LT and Darnold succeeds then we win football games and (most) fans are happy.

Florio shitting on Rhule, Darnold and the Panthers. Sims adding some logic to the discussion "Brady wasn't ready - I saw the same play 7 times by the 2nd Q, plus that OLine wasn't v good and they couldn't run the ball".

In that case, Carson Strong with a Day 3 pick.

Sam Darnold.

It's a horrendous situation if you put him behind that dogshit OLine and then provide the new QB with a good OLine. That's a hatchet job.

He did, about 13 games in.

Apologies, I assumed that by using a picture of a known cuck slapping someone you were coming out. My bad - lost in translation, clearly.

Has he made the team worse? He's certainly broken the 'odd year good, even year bad' cycle that we were on, but we were never anything more than a mediocre franchise. I maintain that we're very close to being a good team - the Brady hire(and the fallout of that - the muddled QB situation, the lack of investment in the OLine) literally torpedoed everything. I have a lot of faith in McAdoo being a competent OC, which would be light years better than what we've had the last two seasons. The defence is very good and only getting better - and will benefit from not being on the field all game.

Is this you admitting to be a cuck too?

You forgot to add: won the National Championship by carrying the offence on his back. I'm by no means Newton's biggest fan, but you can't favourably compare Willis to him at all.

Ridder would have been wise to come out last year. As always with these QB prospects, the longer you start the more tape scouts have to pick apart your game. He's not very well thought of in scouting circles from what I can see - inaccurate as hell with lots of mechanical flaws.

Exactly, which is why last year's offence was a disaster.
