I'm so confused right now. After one day of rookie camp where Zod said he looked good at DE, you're ready to write him off as a bust like Brown? He doesn't have the size at DE? The dude is 6'4", 275.

I wasn't talking about the Hardy situation. I was generally addressing all the white knights that continue to perpetuate this idiotic idea that there is no situation where it is acceptable to put hands on a woman.

What are you talking about? I calculate that if someone is coming at you with a knife and you can't get away and you're unwilling to physically defend yourself, you're gonna get fuged up.

I really, really wish all the white knights would give up on this broken logic. It's fair to say that it is only acceptable in rare, extreme cases, but it's not hard to imagine a situation where I would find it very acceptable to lay hands on a woman. Crazy chick coming at me with a knife screaming she's gonna kill me? Yep, she's getting knocked the fug out and I'm not gonna feel one bit of remorse about it.

And we're sure he's not? I mean, drug tests are essentially marijuana tests. Coke is out of your system within about 48-72 hours. Unless you're a total cokehead or have poo for luck, you're probably not gonna pop a positive for coke on a random.

Alright after listening to the call

Well, this certainly needed it's own thread.

If Frank wants to stick, he better have a helluva TC and preseason.

I hope so. I'd love for him to stay with the Panthers, I just can't see it happening unless the cap figure gets reduced significantly.

I certainly don't want to run CJ out of town, but I see virtually no chance that he plays in Carolina next season with the cap hit that his current contract carries. Though, he's certainly gaining a poo ton of leverage right now.

I'll wait for more details and facts to come out, but if what you're saying is true... well, fug.

This. I honestly think the thought process was that Ealy was drafted to replace CJ, not Hardy.

I would've agreed with you if you had just posted this info up as an FYI, but you could've left off the "she's probably lying" part. That's a major assumption.

But calling someone you don't know a liar based on statistics? That's just weak, man. We're just going to have to sit back and let this play itself out. I'm not ready to call Greg Hardy a woman beater just quite yet, but I'm not going to call a woman I don't know at all a liar based on some statistics.

fug.

Not going to jump to conclusions here, but if this is legit, then it just makes the decision to franchise him look even worse. I would've hated to have seen him walk, but we would've ended up with a pretty nice compensatory pick next year and right now, that's looking like it would've been our best bet. Fug.

You have got to be fuging kidding me...

Has anyone screaming for Brandon Coleman actually seen a Rutgers football game? The guy can't play. If he wasn't 6'6" no one would know his name. Quick, name another successful 6'6" WR...

Well, where is the continuity? What part of this offense looks like Chud's offense? The terminology may have remained the same, but nothing about this offense on the field looks like our previous offense.

Who has said he couldn't? IMO, Rivera's decision to promote from within was as much about security as continuity. He knew he was on what was likely the hottest seat in the NFL coming into this season. Losing record, unthinkable late game meltdowns, new GM, etc. Promoting Shula meant that he would have two relatively inexperienced, unproven NFL coordinators. In short, he knew that if he got off to a slow start, there was simply no one on the staff to hand the reigns to in the event that the Panthers decided to cut the cord on his ass. If he'd hired a guy like Hugh Jackson to run the offense, there was a viable stop gap option available on his staff and that might spur the decision to just let Ron go and see if it was possible that we had the long-term answer to our coaching issue currently in house.

Unfortunately, we've neither gotten competency or continuity. Shula may have been a familiar face, but this offense has no semblance to our previous offense.
