Exactly. They took a chance on him and it didn't pan out. He's not the first.
I mean, Dalton, Foles, Giraffe all of late history people here should remember.

Just because I did it doesn't mean it wasn't discussed.

Not sure where I heard this, but NFL teams are allowed to suit 3 QBs this season. But the third can ONLY PLAY when the other two get injured and CAN'T return to the game. Anyone know or hear about this? Imo...that's a smart move by the league.

Be cool if you could say one damn positive thing. All you do is bitch about some aspect of the team.

Why not let the Panthers tank to get the No. 1 pick, and have our young guys gain experience by growing as a team? Just a thought... but I sense you were joking......

The trade for Harry? Are you ducking serious? It was a 7th round pick. Leatherwood was minimal investment. Walker as well. Your bitching about the wrong things bud.

Kinda crazy if this is true.
One TD really affects passer rating that much?

I think the logic is that the INT never happens on the following play if Carlson catches that ball for a TD.
He would have a TD, no interceptions, and a higher completion percentage.

Just think of all the TD’s that were ran in last year versus Justin throwing it in. Bears ran it within the 5yd line at one of the highest rates last year (if I’m remembering what I read correctly)

Major miss? Don't have a backup? I guess it depends on how one defines those statements. Signing a player when BOTH parties know that player WILL NOT BE a starter, isn't a major miss. That's called trying to make a roster as a backup. Obviously, they have a backup, just not who most of us thought it would be. Keep posting.

Are you really going to do this all season?
$2 million is no big deal and it was a worthy gamble. No GM expects to hit on every single move. They have to take chances or they don’t have any opportunity to add talent. You can make trades you can pick up waiver wire cuts you can draft you’re not gonna hit 100%.
Nobody wants to read your cunting for the next 17 weeks.
Some moves work some don’t. Some moves are positive some will be negative. We get that. No one thinks Poles is perfect.
But your bullshit looking to make a jab at every single turn really gets old.

You're starting to see how many mistakes he's making by how much material I have to go off of.
There should be nothing for me to complain about but after 3-14 there's not a lot of hope.

Mounting misses? Your use of adverbs and adjectives are somewhere between exaggeration and hyperbole. Guaranteed money? This is "chump change" in the NFL. Poles, like any other GM, takes chances and sometimes they miss. The "jury is still out" on Claypool. If that doesn't work out, then that would be a big miss. The others....not really.

All of them are misses that should have cost them nothing. You don't think Leatherwood would have cleared waivers last year? Harry could have been signed because he would have cleared waivers without needing to be traded for him.
This is armchair GM stuff, Poles is running this like an armchair GM.

Claypool isn't going to work out. Pickens and Carter are both misses because this team has so few impact players. Leaning into Justin Jones as the starting 3-technique this stuff half the board knows is bullshit.
