I bet he goes after Matt Barkley with his first pick.

Barkley isn't even the top rated QB anymore. I'd laugh my ass off....lol It would seem that Geno Smith would favor more his style. It's exactly the type of QB he's had his whole tenure in Philly.

#1 overall?

That would be a joke.

Carolina Panthers keeping Ron Rivera for third year - ESPN


Sorry to hear for Rivera. Him being fired would probably been a blessing in disguise for him. With that cap issue, not seeing that team getting better in the next year or so. Probably worse.



Next point, what's up with all this crappy reporting at the beginning. Had the Panthers firing Rivera, Cardinals hiring Reid. Seems a few journalists jumped the gun on a few of these stories.

I think just one person, can't remember who, had Reid to Arizona. Personally, I thought he was going to San Diego if anywhere

I was dead wrong on Rivera. At the midway point of the season I thought he was gone and that a new GM would hire the next coach. When the season ended, I though he should stay..but I also thought he was going to be fired. Good for him.

I'm not. I'm glad he is staying on. I think he is doing good things. They can get some cap space. You know they aren't keeping all their million dollar running backs. I'm glad he is getting another year to prove himself and what he put together. Panthers were on a roll at the end of the year.
