Canales likes the deep ball. Stretching the defense probably helped Bryce as much as anything.

He must have had some great pics of the owner with a freakish carnival worker or something. 8 years?

People who do not like Tremble are focusing on his receiving--the least impressive aspect of his arsenal. Not blocking, not special teams. He is probably getting paid market.

I was under the impression that it did not end well. Of course, there's always Matt Millen. As President and GM/President, he was a combined 31-97-0.

Elway had some good days too.

He is 36. In a rather limited number of plays, got 32 pressures--more than 10% of snaps. That is strong. However,This is not what we need. Carolina is not where Edge players go to retire.

Myles Garrett no longer available for trade. Got paid $123+ m guaranteed. Crosby's deal has the edge players frothing at the mouth. Sorry Juan--did not open your link before posting

My father was an all-ACC and preseason All-American tight end at South Carolina when I was in the womb. He tried coaching high school and Pop Warner, and he realized something. It is difficult for someone who has skills that came naturally to teach others who do not have that natural ability how to develop that skill. He said, "That is probably why the greatest athletes are not the greatest coaches. You can't describe how to achieve something that came naturally." I found, as an educator, that the best teachers are often the worst mentors for new or weak teachers for the same reason. I wonder if this applies to GM work? I did not like the hire (Morgan) for that reason. At least we can say this: Our GM is not a former sports writer or minor league baseball player. I am waiting to see if Morgan develops a pattern. Last year, if you consider the round, I think his best two picks were Wallace and Smith-Wade--defensive players. However, Morgan was a 4-3 MLB and we are in the 3-4, a different animal for LBs--at least in theory.

That should count for 2 TDs. His hands were bad coming out of college--and they have improved. I was a TE in college, and to me, the toughest catches were the ones that were coming straight towards you. I would rather catch running and looking over one shoulder when you have a dominant hand in the process. In fairness, others liked catching passes with their thumbs together in their chest. I dunno.

Let's say we draft Mason Taylor in the third round. We have a very solid TE group, imo, young as hell, at a cost to the taxpayers of about $10m or less for 2025. Tremble is your blocking TE. Sanders is your pass catcher with upside Taylor is your all around TE starter with upside out the arse. Big picture, I see it.

How would you compare Ertz's blocking to Tremble? Ertz had a rep for being a weak blocker coming out of college. He has improved, but is he equal to Tremble? I don't know the answer. However, I know that when you evaluate TEs, receiving is only part of the equation. Tremble is a good lead blocker and is very effective blocking in space. Since his receiving is improving and he is 24, I like this contract the more I think about it. Tremble had only 249 yards or so, but he was targeted only 29 times. That can be that he was in on running plays for the most part. It can be QB confidence in you. It can be that you weren't open---but he grabbed 23 of them. That is nearly 80% of targets (a good percentage for NFL TEs is 70% and above, with the elite TEs often surpassing 80% of targets. By the way--who is the person catching Bryce's "walk off" pass? I can't see his number? A: TT, baby.

A lot of people confuse "assault" with "battery." Assault is intent to cause harm; battery is doing it. What if someone threatens to hit you with a Duracell? Then it gets confusing.

I guess my next question goes to Kungfoodude: I assume you dabble in the martial arts to some degree, or you like Jackie Chan movies, but I understand that in grappling, you can choke someone out, causing them to lose consciousness at times. While Karate may be consensual and that eliminates any type of assault charges, have you ever seen it get heated and a choke hold was employed, in your estimation, crossing the line? Could that result in legal action? Just curious.

I watch a lot of crime and detective murder mysteries, so I consider myself an expert. My wife is nervous because she sees me watching these all the time; it gives me leverage. Seriously, you are right--any gesture during an altercation that demonstrates non-defensive, life-threatening actions can get you attempted murder charges. While it can be a misdemeanor (depending on circumstances in some states), it is a gesture that does not require physical evidence to prove in court, so you are really going to need a good attorney and a Chiefs fan club jury. This is what AI tells me, and it is NEVER WRONG: Section 22.01 of the Texas Penal Code This charge is also referred to as Assault by Strangulation. Whereas a Class A misdemeanor might only result in one year in jail, a conviction on assault charges that involve strangulation, choking, or suffocation is a felony offense that carries a much longer prison sentence.

Aussie, I have an idea that the Panthers will sign a DL and S early in free agency. I also have a feeling that those deals are expensive and already in place to be announced Monday AM. FWIW, my phone has not been ringing, so it looks as if another year as a free agent will come and go. I am starting to think it is due to my age (over 50), limited college experience as a backup, injury history, skill level, physical inferiority, and anonymity. But you never know.
