Fortunately, random Internet guys have access to something called the combine. He ran twice and his best official time was 4.7. I watched him multiple times throughout his Michigan career, and 4.6-4.7 is about what I would expect.

Regardless, as big as he is, there is huge difference between a guy his size running a 4.47 (on a pro day lol) and a guy, say like Ginn's size, that runs a 4.3, is quick, and can consistently catch the ball.

You and Growl get to share the award for most annoying person on the internet today. It's uncanny how much you complain. It never ever stops. you have a gift that nobody but you seems to value.

It's painful.

You know what will stop the complaining? Addressing WR with fast/talented WRs. That's all I've asked for two years... It doesn't help matters when GMan and Rivera came out before the offseason and said they would need to add speed at WR and basically only made one move to address it, with a guy who isn't a very good WR (Ginn), but rather a great return man.

I want guys that can get open for my QB, so he doesn't have the struggles he had early on last season. We need more quickness, speed at the position...

But oh well, we have what we have now. If GMan would've addressed WR like he does the defense every year, I would be the happiest, most content, excited, cordial, amiable mother effer on this board. Because if he did that, there would be no doubt in my mind that we have the best options possible out there. It shows he cares, and he gave the position competition, and after the best guys win the job, great depth. Until he does that, I will continue to have a problem with the position. You don't like it, don't read it.

Serious question. Do you think you can do a better job as the Panther's GM?

Last night I saw a post on Twitter, and then this morning a Colorado news story saying that QB Chris Bonner has gotten a tryout offer from the Panthers.    Yet I'm not seeing his name on any of the lists floaring around on BBR, the Observer, etc.  Anyone have further info?

2 QBs among our UDFAs / tryouts.  Very interesting if true!

Bonner had a great write up in Feb. at Bleacher Report.

They generally list the guys who have agreed to terms. May or may not list tryout players.

Since the team only signed 7 UDFA players, it would seem there are a few roster spots open for the tryout guys.

Bonner has a tryout with the Redskins also, I believe.

Mr. Scot, Thanks for the reply.  Just saw another reported signing:

 

Iowa Hawkeyes RB Brandon Wegher

While I'm posting, can I ask a newbie question?  (Been a lurker here for last 2 seasons, just decided to join...)

I'm floored by that massive list of Chargers' UDFAs.  Do they have to pay them all?  Does this all come out of their Cap?  That seems a lot of money for potentially not much reward.  I can't imagine a team having to workout & evaluate and pay all those free agents on top of their draft picks.   It seems like it would be a distraction in building a team.  But I confess I know little about the Chargers' situation.

Welcome aboard.

 

Throughout the offseason, the NFL only counts the top 51 salaries on the team.  They know it'd be pretty much impossible to fit 90 players under a cap (especially for some teams) so they don't make anyone try.

 

Once the actual season starts, then everybody counts.  That includes guys on the practice squad and injured reserve.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
