Okay now you are making me think that is why we are hearing the Bruce starting again trash. Kidding, but we are about to find out about that tired arm thing. And I am sure you are right about last season and the OL but the ole' can't pick up a stunt was a real thing and it only takes one or two bad ones for the old bones to start hurting. And plus, they don't recover as fast when you are older.

That right there is what should have discouraged a massive asset sink for the top pick. Along with, if people see a guy as can't miss, you cannot trade into that pick they won't give it up. Seeing that a team wants to trade out of that slot should tell you something too. Darnold was being cast aside for Mayfield. Goes to the impatience claims too, but at the same time Mayfield didn't get a full offseason of prep, not the best preparation to go right out of the gate and it very likely led to some of his issues.

I was confused thinking Brooks would be coming back in trade but I see now you mean our Brooks. Also, Sanders has looked much better this season, to me, than last. He is running hard. fwiw. Yeah do it. It's good for Sanders too. Blackshear or whoever can take his snaps if Brooks isn't ready for that much work. Plus Brooks would be taking snaps from Sanders, at the least, anyway so that works for me.

Couldn't hide that though. Still inexplicable that people chose not to examine him closer and I know from reading your old posts where someone bumped a thread that you saw the exact thing at that time, that I saw. I think we let that designated Hail Mary incident die too soon. It got buried under a mountain of excuse making.

In no way did I believe he would have survived last season as the starter behind that line. Things are better now. He can ball distribute at the professional level though. I believe I had stated if you have better one by all means. But he isn't broken today. Hell I have said even get another Dalton if you go that way and between the two we could make a season.

It was not his size, although that height is a handicap. No doubt about that. But it was his pro day and the throwing process he went through that warned me 'do not do this'.

I never forgot that and it told 100% Gettleman did not get it. They should have named him Don'tGettleman. Also, I think size parameters are a good thing but you can't ignore that some guys have abilities that transcend that. Smitty for sure. If they have that then... maybe you can get them in the 3rd round not the first.

All they'll need then is a Hail Mary specialist.

If only it were real, instead of trying to get eyeballs.

Fair enough. That was kind of fuged up. And that's what my 2021 comments were intended to refer to. and, poo. I see now that I didn't say what he was all in on, which I was talking about his Bryce takes where he blamed the team. I forgot to say his name at all. Hopefully a view into the future.

We need stability badly. Talking about that scouting stuff, the issue as I would see it lies more in the different coaching staffs coming and going. Not just the HC, even changing coordinators screws your continuity.

Oh yeah. Book it lol.

Sure, but tell me you enjoy the interim as an alternative... He might have served as Ron did for the Redskins - stabilize the team and locker room and position it to move forward. Which they have apparently done. I'm good with Canales and don't pine for Steve. But he gave us the best ball we have seen in years.

We are playing the NY Football Giants too. The Brian Burns Blood and Guts game (right). Losing to them would sort of take them off the board. If we can manage it.

Bridge. Why is that not acceptable? Unless you can upgrade. If you have a better answer that is already in the league then by all means make the deal.

I don't know about Milroe at all, but the point I would go for is keep swinging. And regardless of the QB whisperer hype, I feel like we are in a much better position to have better results next time we do because of no Fitterer, and a better educated owner that might listen this time. I feel like we were fine with Reich doing the choosing fwiw. The key is they didn't listen. I realize people will make the claim that he was all in, I'll never buy it.

I know. What a time suck. I got away from all this Panthers and NFL dysfunction for a couple of seasons and it wasn't bad.

Nobody was building around Dalton. It is just the best option this week, next week, last week, etc.

The media doesn't know I am alive. I had poo I wanted to say to one of the baiters for a couple of years that I finally took the bait. I don't regret it.

I tried and may try again. I stayed off the board a few days after the crap started up again. Probably why I started that Billboard thread as a distraction and outlet for it.

I am one of those still like to work and the skills have not eroded at all but have been ageism-ed out by my 'industry'. The golden years....

Cam is a icon and entertainer now. For ESPN. I think has abandoned the idea of playing again. Probably because he knows his arm wouldn't hold up? also, that 2021 thing turned him against the franchise it seems. He was all in on the media Panthers ruined him, didn't support him, etc. Last I heard. Which probably helped him get hired there.

Someone said he was making 20 million or so now. Maybe he isn't costing us that due to a prorated signing bonus like we are dealing with, with Bryce Young? Where we are on the hook for all of Bryce's signing bonus if we move him.

It isn't 'we' afaic. I would have no answer for it. Besides Snow's thoughts on appeasing Tepper. I am obviously where you are. But I'd rather see his narrow ass on the sidelines than on the field looking like a high school player that won the NFL QB for a day contest.

Lol. I was think of it not as me, but a collective thing. My prize slush fund is pretty meager. Might consist of a personally donated service at this point. I wouldn't call my income situation fixed. More like broken. I live in a place that the property taxes and insurance have me on a strict budget. It has gotten crazy.
