Enough about a 5th round nepo baby.

I get it. Had it not been posted here I probably wouldn't have seen it either. But if you'd seen it you'd understand how tone deaf it comes across to try to be acting like we don't actually know if Smitty even did it. Bruh, he did it. Oh boy did he ever. LOL

Sure looked that way. That draft room looked like a funeral when the pick was announced and they'd already taken a QB two rounds earlier. Did not seem like a decision made by the folks in that room. Said it during the draft.

Seems like we were gonna take T-Mac if he was available unless someone offered something crazy. I'm guessing the Walker smokescreen was them just guessing on who was going to be the most sought after guy at that spot if T-Mac was gone since he was probably out plan B if T-Mac was gone

My boy: My wife has been cheating on me and I have proof! Here, look at these texts where she's congratulating some other man on how well he pounded her out like she'd never experienced before to the point he rearranged her IUD! I'm gonna post these texts on social media for the whole world to see! Me:

Did you see the texts? Did you listen to the recording of the call? I mean... If you want to just delusionally support your hero, cool. But the writing has been on the wall about who Smitty is off the field for a long time. Loved watching the guy play ball but he's a guy I have zero desire to meet and I'm done defending him.

That's the thing. The plan is to get the money before having to go through with all that. It's a bluffing game. Smitty is going to try to force the man to go through with it to avoid or reduce a payout and the man is going to try to convince Smitty he's willing to do it and he's definitely willing. Hell, he's already done it. I cannot even imagine something more humiliating than sharing texts between your wife and another man with her praising him for knocking the bottom out of it and rearranging her IUD. I mean, oh my God... LOLOLOLOL

I don't think Smitty wants to get into the court proceedings of proving it. It would be well worth $100k to him simply to avoid that and getting an NDA out of this man and his thot of a wife. The big bill he's facing is the one his likely soon to be ex-wife is gonna extract from him and honestly, good. They've been together since before his NFL days. She's been with him every step of the way as he's accumulated wealth. I don't know poo about divorce law but getting an NDA out of these folks before that all goes down couldn't hurt.

Does it matter if neither can cover? LOL

If I'm Arthur Blank I'm going to that coach and being like "You know that $250k is coming out of your check, right?" Just on principle.

Seriously. Like bruh, I know you're hurt right now and you're mad and you want to get back at 'em, but let's just think this through first because this is NOT gonna be a good look for you. LOL

Tell me you didn't click on the link without telling me LOL

Yeah, they just happen to be teams with all-time great RBs and all-time great running QBs. The majority of the rest of the league is throwing at a 60%+ clip.

Yeah, and 19 teams are still passing at a 60% plus clip. It's never going to be '80s football again. They'll keep changing the rules if they have to.

Yeah, just from a PR standpoint on the professional front it would probably be smart of Smitty just to write this guy a check with an NDA attached to it so that he has to stop publicly squawking.

Not in a million fuging years would I have been dumb enough to allow butthurt to convince me to publicly release THAT text. LOLOLOL One of the worst self owns I've ever seen.

The NFL is never going to go back to a running league. They want high flying offense and they'll keep changing the rules to get that. Casual viewers want to see passing offense and points scored and most rule changes in the past couple of decades have been focusing on making it easier to throw the ball and score points. Over half the teams threw the ball on 60% or more of their offensive snaps last year.

Damn... Smitty was third string? LOL!

Oh good God Like bruh, getcha poo together. Once you leak texts between your wife and another man about how he was rearranging her IUD you absolutely cannot try to come crawling back. I'm suffering deep second hand embarrassment from even reading that poo. LOL

I had absolutely no idea such a law even existed.

Christensen re-signing eases some of my concerns about Moton in the short-term. Yeah, he's not Moton but it's not like we're going to have to trot Byron Bell out there if he can't make it.

There's always going to be a lot of guesswork in projecting talent to a higher level of competition. Plenty of 4 and 5 star recruits bust at the college level too and the #1 overall pick this year was a literal zero star recruit coming out of HS. Like we just don't see this guy as a college player level "recruit". And he was a Heisman finalist and now a #1 overall NFL draft pick.

Yep, there's busts and steals in every draft and it's just always going to be that way I don't care how hard you try to analytics your way out of it. There's just too many potential variables to account for.

I really hope XL comes around, but man I really wanted Ladd McConkey at that spot. But my #2 wish at that spot was Jalynn Polk and he looked completely lost on an NFL field as a rookie so there's that too. LOL

Carolina Panthers Round 1 (14): Edge Brian Burns, Florida State Round 2 (37): OT Greg Little, Ole Miss Round 3 (100): QB Will Grier, West Virginia Round 4 (115): Edge Christian Miller, Alabama Round 5 (154): RB Jordan Scarlett, Florida Round 6 (212): OT Dennis Daley, South Carolina Round 7 (237): WR Terry Godwin, Georgia Day 1: A favorite of PFF Senior Content & Strategy Analyst Austin Gayle’s, Florida State edge defender Brian Burns is special. He’s a freakish athlete with great bend that can win outside with the best of them. He’s also a very, very smart player that will only continue to get better at the next level. He also earned a career-high 87.2 overall grade in 2018. “Burns is much more refined [than Leonard Floyd] in terms of using his hands… So, with the upward trajectory of his career, he’s the kind of guy I bet on to continue to succeed at the NFL level.” – Pro Football Focus’ Lead Draft Analyst Mike Renner Day 2: Ole Miss offensive tackle Greg Little and West Virginia signal-caller Will Grier were both top-35 overall players for PFF in this year’s draft. Over the past two seasons, Little allowed all of 26 total pressures on 993 pass-blocking snaps. Grier tied Drew Lock for the NCAA lead with 33 big-time throws and has the second-best best passing grade behind Kyler Murray. Grier won’t start for Carolina, but he’s a capable backup that has a good chance of starting for someone in the NFL in the future. Day 3: Carolina’s first two picks of Day 3, former Alabama edge defender Christian Miller and Florida running back Jordan Scarlett, both offer upside if they can put it together at the next level. Among edge defenders with at least 400 defensive snaps in 2018, Miller ranked 27th in overall grade, tied for 32nd in run-defense grade and tied for 18th in pass-rush grade. He’s a raw prospect with untapped potential having played fewer than 700 defensive snaps in his Crimson tide career. Scarlett was suspended for the entire 2017 season, putting his future in the NFL in jeopardy. But the Florida back returned to form in 2018, earning the fourth-best rushing grade (86.4) in the 2019 class. He’s a bit of a thumper with surprising speed that should make a living forcing missed tackles in the NFL; he’s a great complement to Christian McCaffrey in Carolina. DRAFT GRADE: EXCELLENT
