2021-2022 NFL Season

Looks like they are moving forward with Cam. I assume he will start at some point.

A little surprised since his arm kind of looked shot in NE.

Good move byThe Panthers. Cam still has gas left in the tank .

Except the tank has a leak. He's been empty for years.

[Pakuni]

Oh ... and I also hope Cam understands that if he signs with and plays for the Panthers, he'll often be running for his life behind a shyte OL!

From what we saw in New England last year, that may be just about all Cam's got left.

[MU82]

I'm letting myself be psyched about this. I know I'm probably only setting myself up for a letdown. But if he's healthy ...

WFT is currently +1.5 at Carolina next week. I'm feverishly looking for a Panthers/Dolphins line in two weeks.

Good move by Rams

Not your best day of takes Herm.

Rams already have the probably most prolific WR in the league right now in Kupp.  They have a guy Robert Woods who fits perfectly into their system.  You have a young guy in Jefferson who has come on strong and eclipsed his numbers from last year.  They are kind of full at the position.

I get why OBJ wants to go there.  But he's gonna demand touches and I don't know if its worth it to rock the boat.  He's probably not getting more than 4-5 targets a game max.

I get not wanting to go to NO without a QB, but he'd be the clear #1 there and going back to his roots.  He'd arguably be the clear #2 in GB.

Going to the Rams just seems like picking the best team with a great passing attack and assuming you'll get yours.

He was pretty bad this year in Cleveland, too.  Not sure how much of that was him being lazy to force a move or he's hurt, but the tape wasn't lying.  He couldn't get open and was not running crisp routes.

The fact that I made it until Thursday before seeing the video of the Marsh taunting penalty might be a pretty good indication that I don't really have a dog in this fight, but yeah...that looks like taunting to me.

I'm not a fan of the rule, but if it's a point of emphasis (and, it is), then that's taunting.

The oddsmakers are unimpressed:

The Rams signed Odell Beckham Jr. in the hopes that he can improve their chances of winning the Super Bowl. But sports books don't think he's going to make a significant difference.
Multiple sports books confirmed this afternoon that they are keeping the Rams' Super Bowl odds the same after Beckham signed with the Rams. The Rams' odds to win the Super Bowl are +800 at most books.

OBJ to the Rams

I was very excited the day the Browns signed OBJ. I was also very excited the day the Browns released OBJ. It would not surprise me if Rams fans have the same feelings over the course of the next few years.

That was my exact reasoning why the Nets weren't going to win a title with the big 3. Kyrie and Harden want the ball in their hands. The team is diminished when KD doesn't touch the ball.

Same with the Rams situation. If I'm a Rams fan, I would WAY rather have 12 targets for Kupp than 7 for Kupp and 5 for OBJ. And Woods IS OBJ -except that he runs more precise routes.

Cam getting good coin for half a season

Yessir. I was surprised they signed him ... and then I was really surprised at what an unemployed QB who repeatedly had been rejected by other teams was able to command.

But the Panthers had the cap space, Tepper is the richest owner in the NFL, and the Panthers are desperate.

Given that he's my all-time favorite Panther since I became a fan in 2010, I obviously hope Cam is healthy, that he turns out to be a bargain, and that he earns a nice multi-year contract!

[GB Warrior]

If nothing else, Carolina gets some nostalgia during a season that is otherwise slipping away

Seeing as how there's a salary cap in the NFL, what's the wealth of the owner have to do with anything?

You don't think there are owners whose teams aren't up against the cap but who still would choose not to throw money around?

FWIW, Tepper is paying Bridgewater (who has been Denver's starting QB all season), Darnold (who is on IR and who also will make 19M next season, when he'll likely be an ex-Panther), two backup QBs and now Cam. But it's couch-cushion money for Tepper.

[The Sultan]

Actually I think the wealth of the owner has very little to do with it.

Food for thought. Tepper's money is couch cushion money for the likes of Elon Musk. Musk could buy the entire NFL and still have $160B left. Musk might be able to buy the entire NFL with stock options he hasn't converted yet.

It would be cool if he did that and had the entire league play in outer space.

Could call it SpaceXFL!!!

[Dish]

Really impressed with the Dolphins defensive alignment against the Ravens. 7 guys at the line all out blitzing, while the secondary stands spread out a yard short of the marker. Giving zero respect to Baltimore's passing game, and it's worked.

Nah, if Musk cared about any sports, he would be more inclined to spend a bunch of money creating a super league for rugby or tennis or something.
