It's possible, I suppose, but I took this as that during conversation he was telling people that he didn't know if he would be/not planning on being there moving forward, rather than going out of his way to call people to tell them or intentionally trying to sabotage the team as it were.

Mortgaging the future would imply that if Darnold is bad then the panthers are stuck with him for the foreseeable future because they have no realistic way to replace him. That's simply not the case. They would immediately be in a position to replace him next year if things don't work out. They haven't "mortgaged" anything. They've simply chosen him over the options presented this year. That's hardly "mortgaging the future".

They already announced punishment. 5k fine, no suspension.

Probably has more to do with this line than the title.

Well well well. I think this might just be a good year after all.

I'm gonna give this pretty much a 0% chance of happening.

I dunno, I love Dan Morgan but having a time traveler on the staff might come in handy.

Shi Smith would be my guess. But I could also see them giving Hubbard a look through camp.

Executing his option prior to the draft would have been supremely stupid. Even if they had every intention of not drafting any of the QB's in the draft no matter what, it would have been completely asinine to have used the option prior to the draft. This is is the dumbest of hot takes. Like maybe they did have eyes on Lance, or were still on the fence about Fields or whatever, or maybe they hated them. It's all irrelevant and pointing to them not execising the option prior to the draft as some sort of proof is just dumb.

No matter the reasoning for why we did not, there is absolutely NO reason for having executed the option prior to the draft.

Greg Rosenthal is an idiot though and he always has terrible takes wrt the panthers so this isn't really a surprise.

If you say so.

lol wut?

Matt Ryan

Yeah. It was going to happen eventually. He's had a great career.

This is just too good.

Weight control and conditioning was definitely a problem with Otah. It's one of the reasons he never really recovered from his injuries.

I mean, they all might suck nuts. You just don't know until they play but right now I'm HYPE AS fug. I feel that this could definitely be one of our best drafts ever if not probably the best if everyone works out like I think they might.

It was.

This guy is a literal albatross. Also he had an interception last year so he's clearly a better on ball defender than Keith Taylor amiright?

Incorrect.

Haven't been a panther fan very long huh?

Chris Rubio's Long Snapping Academy huh? Well I know what scholarship I'm pushing my kids towards now.

I think we just did this as a big fug you to Hurney and Ron. They just took a LS. It makes me wonder if maybe we didn't sniff that one out.

You don't want any of the deadly pit fighting that is the long snapper UDFA market. People get stabbed on them streets.
