from the minute reich was fired in indy, he probably became the front runner for us. he checks all the boxes they were looking for: 1) offensive minded 2) experienced and successful HC (no learning curve) 3) local/panther ties i don't think anyone else really had a chance. i think they were burned out relying on potential as a deciding factor because of rhule. i just hope they are burned out on trying to make a QB reclamation project your starting QB.

I've had this feeling for a good while now that the colts go Levis. I know most mock CJ to them, but for some reason I just see them really being drawn to Levis. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they even trade up for him.

Quit posting this fluff. We only want cold hard football facts around here ...REAL football where QBs don't run and all that fancy stuff modern stuff.

I adjusted the title.

makes me want to post more. and then tag him in every one.

you need to drink some prune juice. you're just way too constipated.

i hope that we are still in the running for fangio. i really don't want us to get bradley. just not a fan of zone schemes at all.

until they find a fix, every call made by the refs needs to be challengeable and reviewed by the booth in NY or wherever that booth is. for sure, limit the number of challenges that can be made, but don't put limits on what can be challenged.

Cam opened the door for this.

he'd only do it if necessary i think it was, but it sounded like he was planning on trusting whoever it was to call the plays so the onus is on him to make sure he hires someone that he could trust to do it. unless he got someone green at the job who had a little bit of a learning curve. Like if he got Brian Johnson, Johnson has only called an offense in the college ranks so i'd think that Reich would want to be a bit involved in that.

My dream pair of coordinators at the moment....Kris Richard and Brian Johnson. Richard is smart and aggressive and gets the guys motivated. Brian Johnson does great with QBs and very well could be the next big thing at OC. He lacks experience, but Reich would be a great mentor for him. ive got a feeling that Anthony Richardson will be the best available option for us at QB and I think with both Johnson and Reich that Richardson could catapult to the next level.

Not my preference, but if we don't get one of those three then we have to get a vet. Btw....I'd rather have Carr than Levis. I'm just tired if losing and we could get another 5 years out of Carr and be a contender for all of those years.

We'd be really good and immediate owners of the NFCS if we picked up Derek Carr in FA. I'd rather draft Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, or even Anthony Richardson in the first, but if we don't then get Carr.

Time for Kris Richard. Go get him. Just not Gus Bradley. No soft zones, please.

Go get him. Top choice right now. Frikkin smart, passionate, and aggressive. Go get him.

Cams other problem was that the league, especially the refs, had a problem with him and felt he should be put in his place. He brought a bravado that we needed to see as a fan base, but that bravado ran too many of the stoic/static establishment types the wrong way and the let him take a beating from defenders that no other QB has ever been allowed to take.

I can't think of many I would put above Cam in my list of all time favorite players in the NFL. From the first time I saw him play (the Iron Bowl) I knew that guy was going to be a game changer and I knew I wanted him to be a panther. I've never had that reaction to any other player. I have said since his first couple years in the league that he was a HoF player, even just because of his rookie year he should be part of the hall. Cam changed the game in a huge way and he changed the role of a QB. Obviously there are a lot of holdbacks that are stuck in the past where the primary role of the QB was to pass the ball, but anyone paying attention will have noticed that the game has been constantly evolving over the past 100 years. The job of the QB is to move the ball forward any way possible, whether that be by handing the ball off, throwing the ball, or running the ball themselves. The latter has always been a part of the job but that was done rarely. There was a stigma attached to QBs that could and did run the ball that the reason they ran was because they weren't good passers. They used their legs because they couldn't throw like a real QB. Many thought that Cam felt into that category and were expecting yet another "running QB". And many felt like he could only run because he wasn't smart enough to handle or understand an offense that involved any kind of passing beyond throwing to your first read. In his rookie year he completely changed that perception. He blew away the myth that you had to be either a running QB or a "proper" QB. Cam showed that you could do both and be prolific in each. He set records as a rookie passer that NO ONE saw coming, not even those of us who believed he could be a great all around QB. And he kept doing it and he kept changing the role of the QB with every game. He paved the way for the modern mobile QB. He opened doors for guys like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson. Few people have had the impact on a game the way that he did and he was ours. I just hate that he wasn't better coached and that he wasn't on a team that was better coached because we could have ...we should have had not just one but several rings. I miss a lot of players that were favorites of mine, but none as much as him.

They'll get over it.

Fans will stop caring about it before too long.

There's nothing else going on at the moment. Once we find out who is going to the Superbowl and a couple more coaches are hired, that's where all the focus is going to go.
