Ridder made 1 downfield throw.

https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/cam-newton-elliott-street-pub-downtown-bar-property-buyer-nfl-quarterback Cool that he's investing in the area.

Crazy that there's 55 pages of arguments on this. Panthers gave up a 5th and a very below-market salary for a guy who has had two QBR ratings above 50 (average starter), one above 60 (very good), and one of ~35 (quite poor, but he was playing hurt). It's only a 'bad' trade if you think he takes the Panthers into NFL purgatory (not good enough to make the playoffs, not bad enough to draft his replacement). But from a pure W/L perspective, it's a boon.

Double digit % of Browns fans will be rooting for Panthers week 1. That's wild.

Darnold has negative trade value at this point.

It's Baker or Famous Jameis. Their career stats aren't too dissimilar.

Excellent signing for the Panthers. Middle-of-the-road QB (when healthy) = easily the second best QB in the division.

That’s the key point everyone’s missing. Deebo is uber-valuable only when he plays the jack-of-all-trades role, but he wants 1) to quit playing it yet 2) be paid based on his output in it.

Lol. Side note: Anderson is a moron.

Atlanta fan – I attended the game. Actually entered the Benz with with CFC fans, who were out in surprising force and lively throughout (drums, banners, chants, etc.). Kahlina put in a MOTM performance – fantastic showing. Entire stadium was buzzing after a few of those saves. Fuchs is obviously (still) a classy player, but he doesn't have the pace to play out wide in the MLS anymore.

Yeah this is really it. He’s one of the best 5 (or fewer) QBs on the planet.

I think this is the right play. Too much execution risk on Watson.

I mean that sounds about right. Darnold and Cam (at this point) are probably above-average backups at this point.

The top, maybe, but his sideburns are grey. Plus, he's got a big white patch on the lower left, which seems hard to miss if he were getting it colored.

Who do you think is dyeing his hair? Olsen? McCaffrey and Kuechly are a bit young to be grey, and Kalil is grey on the sideburns and beard.

They don't really look alike.

Especially true when you're paying a top ~3 QB $9mm due to the rookie wage scale...

He's got Burrow, though.

It's turning into an Atlanta / Mike Vick-esque dynamic.

Picked the next triple crown winner. Super cool.

He was pretty suspect passing (pretty much the same output as Zach Wilson his first year), but he was a rushing force right off the bat – so much so that his QBR was actually pretty close to average. Guy basically did a Cam Newton impression – 12 games, 631 yards, 8 TDs, 7.1 YPA – as a rook.

Mahomes went 10th, behind Trubisky (at 2), but before Watson (12) whom I'd argue is right up there with those two (or at least was). Allen went 9th, behind Mayfield (1) and Darnold (3) – woof – but before Rosen (12) and LJax (32). What a minefield of a draft, lol.

Mahomes and Allen are on a different planet than every other QB. What a game.

I think it's suspect already given how basically all the 1) currently good QBs who 2) were drafted in the past 5 years were all pretty darn good as rooks / first-year starters. But yeah, if he turns into a Herbert, good trade. And agree that this weekend will be compelling to say the least.
