Rivera told Solomon Thomas that he would be the pick if he was there at 8

I don't think this is necessarily a big deal since I'm sure he'll be long gone by 8 anyway, but it gives us a little insight into the Panthers board. That tells me that Thomas is, rightfully, above both McCaffrey and Fournette on our board.

So what's the penalty in the NFL for reneging on your guarantee? What happens when Garrett and Thomas are both there at our pick? Sorry, but this has no weight in what I think we are doing. If Thomas is there, it is because several other 'Tier 1' players are gone (Adams, Fournette), which would make this a no-brainer pick.

Why would there be a penalty? Doubt there was any real "guarantee" anyways.  Teams tell players what they want to hear. Was watching the NFLN 2005 draft program the other day where they went into detail about that year's first round, and the Cowboys said to DE Marcus Spears that they'd take him with their first pick. Well, they didn't. They took DeMarcus Ware, and still got Spears with their next pick.

Then i really hope he's not there at 8.  I know a lot of experts are high on him, but I find him incredibly overhyped.

I think the hype matches his game. He's really fuging good. Consensus top 5 player in this draft, and rightfully so. If teams ahead of us go QB or for need and he falls into our laps, any fan of the team should be ecstatic. Would be like Star falling to us in '13.

Nothing. No penalty. Ask Aaron Rodgers when he received a "guarantee" from the 49ers that he would be the #1 pick.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
