the secret (ssshhh) to building through the draft is to have 2 strong drafts back-to-back

wonder about his arms (length)? (Sorry, should read the thread first). I think his speed is incredible.

I always wonder if one person says it and the parrots start chirping the news.

I think we should have orange helmets with a white paw print on them. But I am a visionary.

Here is the line of questioning we should all ask ourselves. Is Simms right? (No? advance to next question) are you right? (No? advance to next question) Could the answer be that nobody is right?

If this is true....wait for it.......Mond could be drafted before Lance......Discuss.,

https://theathletic.com/2233780/2020/12/03/panthers-roster-analysis-free-agents/ I am looking forward to seeing his article about how he saw this coming. Seriously, he has been yanking folks around on here for years, and it is time to call him out. Just for fun.

And what did Panther insider and NFL guru Joe Person say about 2 months ago? 30% chance Moton returns. I called BS on him, and said they would tag him, as many of you did. He is a master click baiter.

six years later, he was homeless, sleeping on his mom's couch

Winning the battle, losing the war?

BOLD: The reason he is probably going to end up as just another horrible symbol of 2020--along with COVID-19 etc--a bad memory. An average arm and Tommy John Surgery---and Jake was starting to age--and there were no real interested suitors in Free Agency---and Hurndog gives him a big contract. Ridiculous.

I knew you were going to post this because you are so unpredictable.

I have a bottle of champagne cooling in the pantry--and I have a suicide note for my wife and kids in the safe---both anticipating the Watson news. (kidding--I would like Watson, but the expected cost is turning me away from it) I would rather be the team that drafts and develops its QB of the future. )

You are right--he is very intelligent. He also looks at the QB position very differently--he does not care if the QB can run or if his arm strength can throw a football through a rock wall--he knows timing--he is not the fastest DB, so he relies on his intelligence to anticipate--like a QB. He knows that the ball arriving on time and accurately is nearly impossible to defend. A running QB is someone else's job. Personally, I think Jones will go top 12. I think Mond (based on the research I have done after seeing Simms' video on him) could be the steal of the draft--the "Russell Wilson" pick of 2021.

Attack their points, not the people who made them. There is a difference. If you choose to ignore their statements because you discount them as quarterbacks, then the same rule should apply to the poster. That is a problem these days--people do not know how to make or debate points-instead, they discredit and attack--in this case, erroneously.

I think Jake came in vs. Jax in a season opener late in the game for Rodney Peete and threw a perfect pass on the last play of the game to win the game--hitting Proehl in the corner of the endzone. Not fact checking before posting, but that kind of thing was his trademark here.

Good points. Of course, the Minnesota TD was on the D and the interference non call had a lot to do with it, but if one play costs you the game, you should have wrapped it up sooner. You are right about Teddy. Like a vehicle with 4-wheel drive--most of the time you do not need it...

Jake was a gamer. He was limited as an athlete, did not have the cannon, etc. But when the game was on the line, Jake put it on the line. He might be the most overachieving Panther ever. He is probably my favorite Panther for that reason.

It is not lost on me that the first reply post that criticized Jake and Steve's ability to put the team on their backs was created by a person who never played in the NFL--and the only person he has had on his back is his manager at Taco Bell for taking a long break to create such a post. I don't think their advice for a year 2 will come to fruition, but there are teams out there reportedly think Teddy will be better off in a better system. That is how you find gems. We now have seen the range-- In New Orleans in 2019, Teddy comes in with a strong supporting cast and wins 5 games in 5 tries. In Charlotte in 2020, with an injured LT, CMC, and scrub LG and non-existent TE for most of the season, Teddy wins 4 games in 15 tries, but shows spurts and is close in most games. Maybe (They think) that not having CMC, Okung, and a LG and TE is the reason we did not win those close games--not the QB. So there is the basis for their argument and the reason some teams are kicking the tires on the Teddy speed wagon.

You all did hear that Jake Delhomme and Steve Beuerlein think Teddy should stay. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article249694333.html Now, you have to take into consideration that both were backups given a starting job here, so they are bringing it from that perspective.

The way I had a coach explain this to me in college and I never forgot it: There are usually about 3-4 plays in every game that determine who is going to win. When we watch film, we are going to identify those plays for you. I want you to watch yourself on those plays. Did you do your job? What else could you have done? Were you at 100% when the whistle blew? etc. So every play (in the back of your head) might have been the play that the coach was going to spend 20 minutes on in the film room. And it was not the last play of the game--most games were won or lost much earlier because they changes everything you did after that. So when I watch Bridgewater, I look for the plays that could have changed the game. Throwing the check down on third and 13 with :32 seconds to go in the half when you are at mid field...Getting a delay penalty or having to use a TO when the defense was on the ropes...etc. But the main thing about Teddy---where was the fire? Who did he elevate in the huddle and after the play? I just saw Teddy being Teddy. Little things matter. Jake Delhomme? He made everyone better, and his abilities were limited. Cam Newton? People would see him dive into the endzone or run over a LB on third and 3 Teddy? If he were the grand Marshall in a parade, the parade would not end with Santa--it would end with a punter.

I played FCS college football back in the day (80s). DBs are now as big as the TEs were then. I was a 6-2, 225 lb. TE and I ran a respectable 4.8 40--I used to brag about that--a good time for my size. I never thought I was going to the NFL, but 6 or 7 of my teammates did. A DB minded their manners and never reached 200 lbs or much taller than 5'10". An average lineman was 270-275 lbs, although we did have a T that was 6-8, 328 lbs- he sucked (wore a size 9 helmet--who does that?). Our RBs, one of which transferred from Georgia because a Freshman named Hershel Walker took his job, ran a 4.5-4.6 and was considered fast. The athletes today are freaks. This is incredible. a 250lb man does not run a 4.38. He should be arrested.

I was setting up a joke and did not look at the details (hence the ?), but thanks for the insight. Carry on, soldier.

Free agency begins next week. This is going to be the most interesting free agency period I can remember, but I can't remember breakfast. Seriously (all hilarity aside) the lower cap is going to shake things up. Wait until about March 23 or so and go bargain shopping.

so he will make $42m in 2021 when the cap is at $180m? Dak needs to break the huddle by chanting, "Block, rookies!"
