Panthers Confidential - A Look Into the Panthers Offseason

Makes sense.

When Rhule went to the board, he was talking about "guys they love" at 8. The others would fit as fallback options.

That would put quite a damper on the "Oooh!  That is Fields!  They're hiding something!" argument.

I don't think the Panthers are "hiding" anything. We liked the option of trading a future 2nd and a couple of late rounders for Darnold better than drafting Fields at #8. Time will tell if that turns out to be smart or not. We'll see if the President of the Sam Darnold Fan Club follows him to his next stop if it doesn't work out here. We already know MrScot will convince himself that somehow this was still part of the Panthers' grand plan and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

@CRA, what are your thoughts on the tweet above?

Tucker looking pretty strong now that I see how his name is spelled.  That's got to be it.  I think the trade down list seems to make a lot of sense.  You know, that has to be factored in. 

I mean, the last one clearly starts with a F.   That's it.  The rest is a jumble.  Could be Farley.  Could be Fields.   I'm not sure you could really argue one over the other outside of just wishing to be right.

Dude, you sound seriously butthurt over this stuff (yikes!)

I've already said if he doesn't work out, I think our next QB comes from the draft.

Would Fields be a reasonable possibility after a trade back though?

Given that the team thought that could at least potentially get a trade up offer for him, that doesn't seem logical.

Well, he went after our pick....and he went around the same area Tucker did.  More so than Farley. 

I mean, it's whatever your mind wants it to be.

Not really. Voth's tweet would seem to indicate it wasn't Fields.

Klein generally has good connections and info too.

Tepper seems annoying to work for

He's honestly what I expected - a dorky numbers guy that made it big.

I've known plenty of dorky numbers guys throughout my career - I expect they'd act like him with money / power too.

He seems to let Rhule / Fitterer get on with it though. Just wants them to explain themselves, which is fair.

Yep. Likes to be kept informed of the process but doesn't inject himself into it, which is consistent with what we'd heard about him from Rhule and Gantt.

And yeah, I'm pretty relieved about that.

could of been Fiesta Taco Salad.  I don't know.  I know there is an F.  And it likely involved trading down in the first.  That still leaves Fields and Farley.   It's probably not a Fiesta Taco Salad from Taco Bell but maybe a team could have that sent to the war room as part of a deal.  Again, I told you I don't talk in absolutes about things I can't possibly be sure of.    Rhule could be that big of a Taco Bell fan.

    • I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.  
    • I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
    • The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
