That post is a perfect example of this

I've made the T-Mac to Fitz comp numerous times. Everyone wanted to compare him to Mike Evans I just never saw that. Mike Evans dominates physically. T-Mac is more like Fitz in that he's a tall receiver who is good enough athletically but really wins more on polished route running and natural ball skills than by physically dominating. Now I'm not saying that T-Mac is gonna be Fitz, I'm just making the stylistic comp. I will just throw it out there though that Fitz led the 24th ranked Cardinals' passing offense with 58 catches for 780 yards and 8 TDs as a rookie while T-Mac is leading the 25th ranked Panthers'passing offense with 59 catches for 853 yards and 6 TDs with 3 games to play so there is that...

Fitz is criminally underrated because he wasn't a freak of an athlete. He's #2 on the all-time receiving yards list by a comfortably margin and #6 for TDs. He's another guy that I wouldn't put at #2 but the argument can be made.

I wouldn't put him #2 either I'm just acknowledging that a legitimate argument could be made for it.

I have no idea what the thought on Bryce is inside the building or how much pressure Tepper is putting on the situation but fear of Tepper's Panthers doing something utterly idiotic is very well founded.

TO is a top 10 WR of all time, probably top 5. Hell, you can make a compelling argument that he's #2.

IF he gets moved from Cinci my money would be on the Rams. This is the type of move the Rams have been making in recent years not pearl clutching draft picks but basically treating them like the NBA does. But man... the haul Burrow would fetch would be insane. He's three years younger than Stafford was at the time of that trade and they don't have a Jared Goff to offer to sweeten the deal this time around. I think Stafford would hang em uonbefore being traded to Cinci.

Yeah, I can see not playing him over Ewers as a freshman. I get that. Hell, I could even see the case fkr maybe playing Ewers over him as a sophomore if you had serious offensive roster issues where you knew you'd basically be setting him uo for failure. But that's not the case at Texas. You're loaded with 4* and 5* talent.

Betting on Tepper's Panthers doing something stupid has historically been a pretty safe bet.

Yeah, I think old man Arch basically git caught doing a Jim Mora "playoffs" reaction to fielding a question about Arch entering the draft? "Draft?! You wanna ask me about the NFL and this kid??? I just hope he can play decent at the college level." Red flags were FLYING when he didn't start over Ewers as a sophomore. Ewers was a decent college QB but a surefire NFL #1 overall pick should've easily leapfrogged him in his sophomore season. When that didn't happen you knew something was amiss.

19 tackles and 0 sacks for a D that's overall slightly worse than ours. Dude is completely washed.

No cut puts you in cap hell for years. You either eat it in one fell swoop or you divide it over two years with a post-June 1st designation.

The NFL gets a hard on about pedigrees and pedigrees don't come any higher than a Manning at QB. If he looks significantly improved next year I'm sure they'll largely overlook this year vs. struggling to reconcile Bama Hurts and OU Hurts.

That throwing motion is fuging hilarious. I called him Uncle Rico literally in his first start. He throws just like Uncle Rico. It's wild.

Oh Texas for sure pushed him out.

UNC saw this And said "Oh yeah! That's worth $2M a year!"

Yeah, his OSU season went down as a redshirt year so he had another year of eligibility remaining.

Yeah, Ewers made a really dumb decision. He's a posterchild of a guy who needs to cash NIL checks until he runs out of eligibility. He's a very limited NFL QB prospect but he's still a pretty good college QB. If you're a mid to late round NFL QB prospect I guarantee you there's more money for you in the portal than there is in the NFL.

The prospect of being traded from the Bengals to the Panthers would probably have Burrow dreaming of sandy beaches and umbrella drinks.

Yeah, I think Murray has always been an extremely talented athlete who just doesn't love ball. To be a good starting QB over the long haul in the NFL you pretty much have to obsessively love ball. But there will be a market for him. Every coach thinks he's the guy who's going to get through to these types of players but it almost never pans out. You can't coach want to anymore than you can coach talent.

Yeah, I'm not expecting improvements for them from benching Tua for Temu Tua. I understand why they want to get a look at the rookie but honestly I'd play Wilson and see what my offense could look like with a guy with high level NFL tools even if it's just a few glimpses in an overall pile of poo.

Playing for Tepper's Panthers doesn't seem like something that would ignite a fire under a guy already sounding like he's ready to pull a Luck and just walk away from it all.

Yeah, that's my fault. We're so late into 2025 I'm already living in 2026. LOL Oof, they're cooked. Wonder if they just eat that extra $11M or designate it post-June 1 and take two stiff jabs on the chin instead of a haymarker? Good lord Panthers, please be paying attention to this

Oh I'm sure they'll try I'd just be floored of they find a taker.

See above. He's as good as cut. They'll eat $18M but still net $47M in cap savings.
