@ellis did a cutup of Brady's snaps. Nice work, but I do wish he had gotten some pass pro reps.

It's essentially their answer to PSLs. They just raised 90 Million dollars.

Not that I necessarily agree with them, but I would remind you that in Rhule and Fitterer's mind, we already have those picks back. This is from during the draft: We came into the day thinking we were going to get two players and we got three, and we picked up a four next year, so basically the Sam Darnold trade is paid off now," Rhule said. "So we got three players we really liked, but we've also paid off that trade." source:https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-nfl-draft-day-2-wrapup-trades-scott-fitterer-matt-rhule

I get the reluctance, but we need a better transition plan this go around. Like this past draft, we could have taken a flyer on Davis Mills, Ian Book, or Sam Ehlinger. If they work out, great. We've got our backup QB/heir apparent. If they don't work out, try again next year.

We can start taking flyers on 3rd and later QBs to see if we can hit on one to have ready by the time Cam is ready to retire. It's a great situation.

The first time Rhule didn't have a track record. Tepper was willing to let Rhule make the calls, and woudl evaluate him on the results. Even as late as the draft, Tepper was still willing to sit back and let Rhule make his decisions at QB. Rhule then passed on Jones and Fields. Tepper reportedly wanted Fields, who has been up and down, but still, even as a rookie, looks better than Darnold. At the halfway point of the season, it's clear to everyone that Rhule made the wrong decisions at QB. Tepper could of basically said "I let you try it your way, and it didn't work out. Now we're gonna try it my way."

A lot is getting made of Rivera knowing Cam. Okay. But what isn't getting attention is how many of our D players were here when Turner was the OC. They practiced against this offense every day. It would have been guys like is DJack, and Shaq. Probably a few others I'm not remembering.

Rhule did say Darnold reminded them of Matt Stafford...

Russ Wilson ends every interview with "Go Hawks". This could be Newton's version of that.

It's only Monday, but the FF sites are saying its iffy if Murray plays against SF this weekend. They want that ankle 100%.

All the Ohioans have taken over Charleston.

I'm curious about this. I would think in the circumstance of picking up a Free Agent QB, the normal procedure would be for the GM to call the agent. But that's not what happened here. We know from Cam's press conference he wasn't expecting the call. If Fitt had called his agent first, I feel confident his agent would have told Cam. Instead, we have Rhule making the first contact. Maybe because Rhule and Cam had some things to work out about his departure [edit: meaning Cam's original departure from the team]? I don't know if Tepper made Rhule reach out to Cam, but it seems clear that Rhule and Cam had something to work out.

There are some guys who post good film breakdowns to Twitter sometimes. Baldy's stuff is usually on there.

Care to explain how his shoulder holding up last season doesn't provide evidence that his shoulder held up last season?

You said "We still don't know if his shoulder will hold up. His age has nothing to do with his shoulder." What I showed you proves that his shoulder held up over a full season of work.

Cam played 15 games for the Patriots. These were his stats in his final regular season game after 15 games of wear and tear on the shoulder. Cam went 21-30 for 242 yards, 3 TD’s, 0 picks / 11 rushes, 79 yards / 1 reception, 19 yards, 1 TD He was also New England's leading rusher that day.

CMC threw a really good block on that play, too.

My friend and his wife got tickets to the Genesis concert and since they were going to be in town, they decided to get tickets to the game. Got them dirt cheap a few weeks ago. I'm so jelly.

Just to be clear, Edgar was in Arizona.

Cam has to start on Sunday even if he needs to split time with PJ. It's the first home game after he signed. The stadium will be electric. Start Cam and let the team feed off that energy in the 1st quarter.

X-Clown - Jake hits 89 for the game winning TD in double OT for a playoff win versus the Rams.

Said this in another thread, but it seem relevant here. The offense we ran against the Cardinals was eerily similar to the one we ran the first three weeks. 10 of PJ's 22 completions were dump offs to CMC. CMC had 23 touches (and he would have had more had the game been closer) That game plan got us to 3-0, including a win over the Saints. It also got CMC to IR. In a lot of ways, yesterday reminded me of that Saints game. We beat a really good, but somewhat injury depleted team.

I need to see how else we need to resign. Gilmore and DJ immediately come to mind but there may be others. Regardless, resigning Reddick needs to be a big priority.
