POST JETS / PACKERS TRADE It is amazing to see how much a single trade shakes up the draft--no wonder nobody is right--predicting trades is impossible, but each one has a ripple effect. If you think an NCAA bracket is difficult, predicting this draft is ridiculous. I think Houston or Arizona are going to trade out, and that would make the rest " Panthers Bryce Young, QB, Alabama 2 Texans Will Anderson, Edge, Alabama 3.

If the Panthers announced the pick, it would be stupid. There are many signs that suggest he is the pick, based on those comments. But I appreciate the fact that you bring up some points/possibilities that are not being considered because they Bryce Blinders have been on for a while. Good post.

Right--when you get paid for doing nothing for all these years, you think doing nothing is what they are paying you for. I am a Gamecock fan and thought he was the next Peppers. He is lazy and unmotivated. He plays like someone who really does not love football.

This just in: Sam Darnold is doubtful.

There are enough people who believe in Jackalopes and and the Loch Ness Monster too!! (I now realize that I better be right or this is coming back to haunt me, but I am going all in.) Hope the weather is fine in Area 54. Just having some fun with you--not trying to be insulting. These are the fun days before the draft.

I like Ojulari or OLB Drew Sanders at #39. Either one is fine. Terrell Smith is a sleeper at CB who (I think) will be drafted earlier than many mocks suggest This is very similar to the players that I cannot pass on when mocking--so I have to approve.

I am scared--we seem to be in agreement this year. Either you got dumber or I did.

True--wasn't he NFC coach of they year twice? Unreal

I see Ringo as a solid pick. I prefer Drew Sanders because he can play OLB vs. the run, rush the passer, and cover. He can be moved inside and pressure the passer. He gives the DC a lot of options. Throw him in with Luvu and Chinn, we are pretty dang versatile. Not sure he will be there. I get the rest of his picks too, but I would not add another #3/4/5 WR to the mix. We have a stable full of those. There, I would add a G to go with the OT. Nothing wrong with adding 2 OL. I might also add a TE, but I really do not think they will go with a WR or TE in this draft. I think it will be OLB/Edge, CB, and OL. If we can address those 3 areas, I am a happy camper.

Just think--you will get immediate satisfaction and pleasure by telling everyone that you were right!!! Or this won't happen and you will change your username. To assume that you know more than the experts is beyond arrogant and silly. Your concerns have been expressed. If being the rain cloud drenching everyone's hope is your thing, you do you.

This is the key point. The draft is weak at WR, so was free agency. They needed a #1. Look at the situation we are in--same deal.

We are picking Young. And when that pick comes in, please start a thread about the new team you are going to root for, because I doubt people want to deal with you every time our QB gets hit or has a turnover over the next decade. Your obsession with name-calling and Young bashing is borderline. Perhaps we will understand more when Netflix completes their documentary on you.

Then it stays. Thanks for the fashion tip!

Why? Do you think the headband is too much?

There might be 2 or 3 QBs in next year's draft who will become starting material. Two or so will bust. There will be 8-12 teams who will be looking for a QB. So you waste a year waiting for a 25% chance of drafting a QB that has a 50% chance of being successful? The guys seem better now because they have not been scrutinized like this group has been--yet. S2 scores, measurables, tape, combine, interviews, etc. To the main point: the NFC South is ripe for the picking NOW. THIS year. Anyone in the NFC South planning for next year when they have the pick of the litter NOW should be tried and convicted of committing a felony and fraudulently misrepresenting the fan base if they make moves to have a chance to draft the 2024 QBs

But he refers to "common sense". Game, set, match. Doesn't that trump all facts, data, and evidence?

My outfit got leaked, but I have been rehearsing wearing it all weekend. I will be watching on NFL network on my new 70 inch TV and my wife will not be participating this year, for reasons she will not openly divulge. I threw together this little ensemble:

I honestly think the only drama for Panther fans is "what are they going to do at pick #39?" I appreciate the post and the thoughts. It is an interesting take.

I don't know how these new fields are, but when we played in college on an artificial surface (we practiced on our turf as well) it would rain and then freeze. The water would soak through the turf and into the padding beneath the turf, between the surface of the field and the concrete at the foundation. That padding would then freeze. It was like playing on cement that would rug burn you. It's ok--I turned out just fine.

But what about their common sense?

Upscale styrofoam plates. There is a difference. And they don't skimp on the plastic cutlery either--no sporks at this place.

Note how your first statement is simply not true. You start with a ridiculous misunderstanding of the argument by exaggerating and fabricating a complex issue so that you can understand it enough to argue against it. Facts and truth are technicalities that seem to get in your way. So we are to ignore the evidence, research, and testimonials from doctors who work with athletes every day and listen to your dizzying intellect? Gotcha.

I would too--but you had to say, "I would assume..." and in that statement lies the potential for calculated error. Does the evidence support our feelings about Bryce getting hit by a 300 lb linemen, making him more prone to injury than if it were Cam Newton back there? I am rather surprised by what I am finding--as a researcher, I have learned to go with the evidence and let it take you against the current of "common sense" and assumption. I have been proven wrong by research so many times it is laughable. People are now (kindly) attacking the messenger in my case, as I try to show them what the research says--they refuse to go there because they don't believe it. It makes no sense to them--or me, but I have learned to trust data and not your eyes or brain--two inconsistent organs.
