And despite that CU is only up 7-0 with GT knocking on the door of the redzone. With a quick strike opening score and two gifted turnovers they've really blown a golden opportunity to blow this game wide open.

My bad, I read your initial post as highest paid.

So how are you determining who is the highest paid THIS year?

Yeah, it's misleading just using the cap hit THIS year based on how NFL contracts work in terms of moving cap hits around for convenience. Dak Prescott is the highest paid player in the NFL this year. Is that indicative of anything other than Jerry Jones being an idiot? Taylor Moton is the highest paid OT this year. Is that indicative of anything other than the Panthers being morons?

Colorado strikes quick on their first possession for a TD. Let's see if their D is any better than last year now.

I mean, we're either looking at playing Nick Scott who honestly shouldn't be on an NFL roster, a 4th round rookie, or a second year UDFA. That's pretty desperate.

The timing is definitely very odd. Seems like a good chance there's something more to it than just a football decision.

I wouldn't be opposed to Moehrig if we hadn't paid him like a guy who can cover.

"This year" is a bit misleading with how cap hits in contracts work. Looking at average per year contract value, Hamilton is #1 and while technically having a higher run grade, I mean c'mon... Kerby Joseph is #2 Antoine Winfield Jr. is #3. LOL @ the Bucs

Those are the types of safeties you can get on the cheap. Safeties get paid for coverage unless you're stuck in the 80s and 90s.

I hope I'm wrong about Moehrig but I never understood backing up the Brinks truck for him. He's the type of safety you can generally grab for pretty cheap and lo and behold here's a better version of Moehrig available on the trash heap on the eve of the season.

Wouldn't even be that. We still need two starting safeties. It would be more saying that Nick Scott stinks (facts) and we don't want to be backed into relying on a 4th round rookie.

We have a lot of moves that still need to be made. A phone call is free.

This is definitely worth a phone call to his agent for a conversation. I'm encouraged by the reports on Ransom but relying on a 4th round rookie to be an immediate impact is a tall ask.

I doubt it. Should be a vested veteran I think.

Peppers: We could've literally done better off the trash heap.

I'm a Heels/Panthers fan. I've learned not to spend all off-season talking poo. LOL

GB thinks they have that in Love. Maybe they do maybe they don't. We'll see how it plays out. Ultimately it's all about the results on the field in the way of wins, losses, and ultimately rings. If they win a SB in the next few years it was obviously worth it.

Remember when Gettleman yanked the tag off of Norman right before the draft and it just gutted our locker room and pretty much tanked our season before it even got started? Yeah, the timing on this move is way worse than that. This is being done basically on the eve of the season kicking off. Not only is the locker room getting shocked but now you have the coaching staff pretty much recreating their game plans. I guarantee you everyone in the organization fully expected Parsons to be there

Some more okay-ish football on tap tonight. Auburn/Baylor and Colorado/Georgia Tech.

And his uncle is the Nebraska OL coach. You'd think they pull the kid aside and tell him to stop making an ass of himself with this poo.

Ah fug it, man. This is the time for cautious optimism for all fans. Hell, I'm cautiously optimistic about the damn Panthers. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully expecting to be ass but desperately hoping I'm wildly wrong.

LOL, yeah that would be pretty funny You gotta play better to pull it off though. Good luck doing that in a Matt Rhule offense though. I know the kid is Nebraska legacy but I don't know why any QB would sign up to play for Matt Rhule who has never fielded a decent passing offense.

That kid is pure cringe. Like man, you were a BIG TIME recruit. You don't have to pretend to be someone else. Just be you. This poo of trying to be Temu Pat Mahomes is just bizarre for a kid in college. If he was 10 playing Pop Warner, yeah okay. But you're basically a grown ass man completely trying to copy someone else. Stop that.

Miami won those games in large part because they had Cam Ward. Their defense was complete ass. If it hasn't improved majorly they're not going to be able to just outscore everyone with Beck playing the role of Ward.
