Just a bloke that was drafted in the first round as a C... and another bloke that was drafted in the first round who played C in college.

Wouldn't he have to clear waivers first before it becomes a bidding war?

The thing I like most about Horn is the video he put up on his YT account (I don't follow it, it was just linked somewhere) where he went to train with Xavier Howard and co. I think in Miami. Anyway, he picked up their coaching tips instantly. That, coupled with his freaky length and athleticism, is incredibly exciting. I don't think many people will be moaning about not taking Player X with that pick in a few years time. He's that good.

I'm very disappointed we weren't in on the Minshew trade - that would have solved a lot of problems. Right now we're picking between the tallest midgets at QB. Grier has played better in pre-season, but if either one has to start for any extended period of time we're boned.

I wouldn't be surprised if we trade for an OG and a LB. I'd love to trade for a backup QB too.

(yes, I know that's not Jordan - his quote wasn't in the gif bank!)

I don't take anything Rhule tells the media on face value. He spoke positively about Perryman, then had him traded the next day. He said Slye was working hard and just going through one of those periods, then cut him the next day. The OL group isn't set in stone yet - they're clearly desperate to get Christensen involved in the mix somewhere (he's played at 3 different positions in these pre-season games) and all Brown has done is win. Paradis is terrible too - that can't be allowed to continue. Move Elflein there and stop the bleeding.

David Moore has 13 TDs in the NFL. How many do Saunders, Cannon and Zylstra have?

"The Panthers wish Christian Miller well in his future endeavours"

Is it a crowded position though? The top 5 separated themselves - Moore, Anderson, Marshall, Moore and Smith. Everyone else is fighting for a roster spot based on what they bring to STs.

Our new kicker should definitely rent.

A lot of teams are playing tonight, so we've got a head start on them. Yeah the first cuts aren't usually invited back to be PS players. As I said with Fisher - great instincts, but just not athletic enough for the NFL. Shame really.

I can't imagine who would trade for Thomas, but then we got something for Little so who the hell knows.

I think this is why the partnership will work. It's Rhule's team and he's got the final say on talent, but Fitterer is an extra pair of eyes AND he's got the admin side of it down pat. Rhule is ruthless - as evidenced by Perryman, Little and Slye (dude was basically cut on tv last night). He needs a right hand man to help him navigate the Front Office world though and he has that now.

I wouldn't like to speculate, I'm not au fait with every NFL roster. I think Darnold could easily be in the teens this year as a starting QB. I do think our backup situation is horrendous though, so I'd rank our QB room in the bottom third of the NFL.

David Moore makes it easily. I don't know if Smith is going to have to go on IR.

I think we'll get a good indication of how close Rhule / Fitterer think we are to contending for the Playoffs in the next few days. If they think we're close they'll trade for a starting LB and a starting LG.

STEVE SMITH AND LUKE KUECHLY (channelling OP's energy). I'd just bring back the two best players to ever suit up for the team.

It can go one of two ways. Either we lean into it and say "this is what you expect from our commentary booth", or we don't invite Smith back again to commentate. He wasn't sitting on any fences out there - he'll have offended a lot of people. He will also have appealed to plenty.

He has a 7 year contract and walked into a dumpster fire. If we show improvement year on year, Rhule will stay. We were much better last year than we had any right to be. It looks like we hit on the Draft this year again, and our 2020 picks are a year older / wiser / stronger. We're trending in the right direction. Also Bridgewater was a mediocre starting NFL QB (that's walked into another starting job in the NFL) - people act like he couldn't throw a forward pass.

I had Paradis as giving up two sacks and 1 TFL.

He plays Long Snapper. Long. Snapper. He can essentially go forever.

Surprised he was still on the team after half time tbh. I hope this means we start hearing about the rest of the cuts early too.

So we're talking the 2022 season then, cos he isn't playing this year. If he's cleared his value rockets back up to multiple first round picks - something we can't afford. If he's not cleared then he probably doesn't play professional football again. It's odd that we're in these discussions.

You want him on your team after all the allegations that have been thrown his way? Yikes.
