I really feel like people need to be reminded that Corrall is a 3rd round rookie from an RPO, 1 read offense if I remember correctly.  He probably won't be ready to start, so if we can get Baker cheap why not? Is he worse then Darnold? The same? Slightly better? As long as its cheap we aren't any WORSE off so. He at least has some grit unlike Darnold.

GET MATT CORRAL READY TO PLAY! MAKE THAT A PRIORITY SO WE DON'T GO WASTING MORE MONEY AND PUSHING THE FUTURE BACK FOR RECYCLED TRASH. STOP PLAYING THE FOOL.

Get a friggin' clue. Sheesh! Listen to your fanbase for once.

This would honestly be my preference. Focus on getting Corral ready. If that means Darnold starts the first 5-6 games so be it. But focus on getting Corral ready to take the field this year. Find out if you have anything to work with or if we're still in desperate QB need again next off-season.

I mean, I understand that people don't like it, but Rhule is the lead dog until he's relieved of duties. For all the talk of Tepper taking away his power, just reading between the lines and seeing the draft night on Panthers Confidential, you could easily see that Rhule was still ultimately the one in charge, but you also saw him trusting Fitterer to do what he does. Bottom line, Fitt works at Rhule's pleasure. Now of course Rhule could be acquiescing to someone else's demands (probably not McAdoo's), but it leads me to think that he's behind the Baker thing. And, well, he's the one fighting to keep his job. 

By most accounts, Fitterer has done a good job drafting, you can see it in how GMs have been ranked recently; I know there has been at least one article (if not more).

As Fans that would make us happy. They are the anti-fan.

Supposedly it's been Fitterer pushing the Baker deal and Rhule hasn't been necessarily on board with the Baker trade.

If true, that is exactly the opposite way I would have predicted that situation to be.

Sounds to me like Tepper is still meddling in this qb search.  They all can...

They know it's Rhule pushing for this but the internal conflict is off the charts. Can't criticize Matt Rhule 🤫

I mean, I've accepted that these guys realize they're likely fighting for their jobs and that they're highly unlikely to put their jobs on the backs of Sam Darnold (after coaching him for a year) and a 3rd round rookie. They're going to bring in another vet to try to salvage their jobs. Of the bad options available, Mayfield would be my choice. The guy has legit talent but he's a jackass. As a fan who has basically detached myself from this team emotionally, my body is ready. It'll be entertaining regardless. Maybe a slice of humble pie and a change of scenery rejuvenates Mayfield. Or... maybe it's just an absolute poo show with a QB who probably won't bite his tongue. Either way, sounds entertaining to me. 😂

I was driving the bandwagon for Baker and a LT at 6 pre draft. My stance remains the same - all depends on the price.

If we're talking a conditional 6th/7th and they eat 75% of his salary or swap Darnold I am ecstatic for the move. Probably even more so now that we were able to get Corral in the 3rd too. 

If we trade anything higher than a 3rd while Cleveland avoids paying any of his salary or taking Darnold off the books I'll be livid and get my pitchfork ready with the rest of you. 

Just gonna wait to see how this unfolds.

      Selling a home and the related commisions

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      The industry like most is dominated by the top 20%. The top 20% can make a 7 figure income, while the bottom 80% are mostly your average joes. There is no second place The thing to remember as an agent is that there is no second place. Either you get the listing/sale or you dont. You can be working with a perspective seller for ages, giving them free consulting advice or home valuations and at the last second they might choose another agent to list with.. cause thats their kids friends dad.. You did all the work - you get nothing.  As an agent you might even be working with a buyer for months trying to find the perfect house only for them to really just 'like looking' and never being serious - you get nothing.  The best (beginner) agents will sit on the phone all day long, talking to people, volunteering on community organizations and being out in the community as there is a 'guilt' factor with selecting one. If Agent Bob is on your church committee there is a higher chance than not that you will hire him over the agent you see in a bill board.   Once your successful.. Once you have made a name for yourself it gets easier. People just think of you because they have seen your sign or they know of someone that have used you. Eventually people just start calling you.  The easiest way to make money as an agent is to get the listing. Once you get the listing your only need to post the listing and now all the other agents are trying to find a buyer. The best way to get listings is to do all the things previously mentioned.    Its not fair.  Because there is no money for 2nd place, agents are known to try to steal listings, or they will offer less of a split commission. AKA The listing agent will get 4% the selling agent will get 2%.  When an agent lists the sale like that some buying agents will simply not show your home to their clients.. even it ifs what they are looking for. So as a home owner, you should ask how they intend to split the commission.  Years ago I hired the top agent in our area to sell my home. They sold it in 24 hours and I paid THOUSANDS in commissions. I mentioned how I thought it was kind of BS that he "did nothing" and I paid so much. His response was one that has stuck with me. He said, "when you hire me, you are paying for the 30+ years of experience that I have. Because of my experience I have a book of 30 people that are looking for a 500k home and 40 people looking for a 400k home. I can sell your home fast people I have built a book of business. That is what you are paying for"   So I would agree that I think that agents make too much money for what they do. But I also have seen far too many people get into real estate, only to quit and go back to their regular job because they always came in 2nd.  Happy to answer more questions if you have.

      Panthers lose, but there’s a different vibe since Andy Dalton replaced Bryce Young –– The Athletic

      By strato · Posted

      I think if he sucks we'll feel better about losing that pick. That's the solace. Such as it is.  It is strength on strength our O vs their D, and the other sides are weakness vs weakness. DJ will be motivated but they have to get it to him.

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I'm still trying to figure out the gap between a Bryce Young and a Stetson Bennet in the eyes of media and scouting. Aside from age and off the field behavior they are essentially the same player.
