Fug no. One, successful coaches rarely find similar success elsewhere. Two, Bountygate itself is more than enough reason to say fug no on it's own. I cannot bring myself to root for a Sean Payton coached team. Nope. Not gonna do it.

Tepper just seems like a run of the mill bad owner so far. Snyder is one of the worst owners on pro sports history. Not saying Tepper won't get there, but he has a long way to go to earn Snyder comps.

Corral may prove to be a better NFL QB but he doesn't have anywhere near Baker's physical talent. But Sam Darnold is proof positive that physical talent doesn't necessarily make for an NFL QB.

Reddick wasn't very good against the run either. You can afford to have one guy on your DL that isn't great being ran right at. You can't get away with both of your edges being that way.

Avalanches are terrifying. I used to do a lot of backcountry snowboarding but quit when I found out my wife was pregnant. That just changed the risk assessment calculation big time. We were pretty conservative with our decision making but the Colorado snowpack is fuging SKETCHY at its best. You take someone from Washington or California and have them dig a pit in Colorado and they just look at you like "What the FUG??!!!" while you're looking at the same pit like "Hmmm... better than I expected."

This is not a great situation for someone with alcohol and depression issues to be walking into. Corral was my second favorite QB in the draft but I thought he needed to go to a stable organizational environment. I didn't think we were a great fit. Just being honest.

Smart move honestly. If they're right they can spike the football and proclaim loudly and proudly that they called it. If they're wrong no one will remember anyway.

Holy poo.

Your original premise was that they should compete and let the winner be determined in practice. You remember that, right? Ever since then you've been an emotional basket case and all over the place. I have no idea what you're trying to argue at this point and I don't think you do either.

No, he really wasn't. He's easily #3 on our list at the moment which isn't much but hey, it's something.

Slaughtering the English language and logic at the same time.

Damn. People have really forgotten how good Jake was before that Tommy John surgery.

Are you off your meds again? You're relatively normal for awhile but you always eventually fly off the rails again and when you do you seem to forget what your were actually arguing in the first place. Pure emotion.

Yes. If Cam hadn't been ready, Pickles would've started. Back to back 400 yard games out of the gate said Cam was more than ready. If they'd gone by your standard, Pickles very well may have been the day one starter. Cam looked pretty rocky in preseason. Hell, he always did. Cam was a gamer much like Jake was. Way better on Sundays than in practice. You're embarrassing yourself here man, but that's nothing new for you.

If you're on the roster you're competing. According to you, we need to be playing the best practice players. I'm telling you, that was Weinke by miles. My point here is that your concept is dumb and you should stop digging.

He was on the roster and he looked like the best QB in camp by far. But he couldn't do it on game day. Kinda like Darnold. Give up on Darnold, man. The Panthers have.

Did you ever go to a training camp when we had Jake and Chris Weinke? If depth charts were made solely on practice performance, Jake would've never played over Weinke.

How he's treated? We picked up the fifth year option on the worst starting QB in the league after inexplicably trading for him. He's going to make $18M to hold a clipboard. Sign me up for some of that treatment!

For the record, I absolutely think we've moved on from the possibility of starting Darnold and the "competition" will be a complete farce.

There's no cap savings by cutting him. We're on the hook for all of it. So I say let him "compete". Maybe Baker Mayfield could use the humbling of being forced to compete for his job with the worst QB on the league. Who knows, maybe someone gets injured in camp around the league and we end up with a similar deal. We eat the majority of Darnold's cap hit and get a conditional pick in return. Cool

"Excited" or "optimistic" would be overstating my expectations for this season substantially, but I'd put myself in the "intrigued" category. I can't say I'm expecting success but I can at least envision a potential path to success now. If we had an coach that I thought was NFL caliber I'd be legit excited.

Agreed with everything until Even Sam might play better with this line. Nope. Don't fall into that trap.

I think Gross-Matos will get a lot of those snaps and I think he'll be a substantial step up against the run, but not the pass rusher that Reddick was.

I'm expecting a step back in pass rush but a step forward in run D. That's what losing Reddick does for you. Him and Burns at DE was a helluva pass rush tandem but you're giving up a lot having two relatively light in the pants speed rushers playing DE.
