That falcons game, the one that really kept us from the playoffs. The bullshit call on DJ. If we win that game, most likely we make playoffs, wilks is still here and we are stick with darnold. We would have picked near 20 and no way to move up. DJ still here. Keeping a coach/manager certainly hasnt worked out for the Phillies this far. So thank the refs.

In part yep, i dont feel they would still won enough.

 

SIde note - few weeks back I tired to bummed one of those " Keep Wilks threads, hes a winner rah rah" 

Within 7 seconds it was locked and then removed from the front page.

Been great for the forum LOLLOlollolls, loads of fun, but i guess whoever did it thought having 95 stroud/youngs was better. 

@Ricky Spanish can you help?

That's one of the reasons we are here. The main reason is because we retained Rhule for the first 1/3rd of the season. Had we kept him the full season, we would probably have that first pick without the trade.

There's no guarantee Tepper would keep Wilks just for making the playoffs. I still think a win or two would be necessary.

However you want to spin it, I'm ready and excited for what's next.

I think you are right about tepper not keeping wilks even if he made the playoffs. 

I also think when they interviewed wilks and asked " who do you have in mind for OC"

wilks- "frank reich....."

"Anyone else?"

"hmmm keep mccado......mike shula?"

Then they interviewed frank and he was like " i havnt not talked with steve and here are my 8 choices for OC"

Im also on the hype train for this coaching staff, best in history and now they got to prove it.

If we didn't fire Matt Rhule we could have had the #1 without trading anything

Had we not hired Rhule at all we’d have Herbert. Had we promoted Beane and McD instead of clung on for dear life like idiots to Rivera and Hurney we’d be the Bills. Had JR not sexually assaulted people on a weekly basis and buy his way out of prison we will still have our 1 out of 3 winning seasons. Had Tepper hired help and not treated the franchise like a toy wanting a pat on the back for figuring out what people already knew, we wouldn’t be in the middle of not only this franchise’s worst stretch but top NFL losers for the past five years…I could go on and on.

One catastrophic decision after another is why we only have a few teams we are thankful we are not. But as we say…keep pounding. I mean, it is what it is.

Whats your guy’s point?

I still don't understand why Hurney didn't trade up for Herbert. He wanted Herbert from what I remember, so why not move up a few spots to insure you land him?

The Panthers have a long history of getting jobbed by the refs, and the DJ bs call I'm sure was sent in to the league and added to our pile of busted bs calls.

I've been saying we were going to take a QB in the first round of the 2023 draft since we first brought in Darnold, and now it's happening. Thank you refs.

Reports were that Hurney wanted to trade up for Herbert, but Matt Rhule didn’t. I think the first couple drafts Matt Rhule had pretty much all the power. I have a feeling some of that power was reduced last draft based on how he treated Corral.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
