I hate knock offs bc the blue is always wrong and they always use the old logo. You can easily see the knockoffs in the stands on tv

Speaking of, where's Salesman* these days? (*not their Huddle name, IIRC)

i had breakfast with a few old friends of mine a couple weeks ago and two of them can't hear a thing and i swear half the time i was with them the conversations went like that.

hmmm.....good to know! interesting.

The whole Twitter changing to X this messed up the embedding process

Dude still needs to retire after his Clausen comment

Losing Derrick Brown last year was devasting to the defense, however, I also think losing Luvu was too. I like the focus on the D-line during free agency and the draft, however, I would like to see the Panthers pick up a few more LB to battle it out during camp. I still don't think this is a position of strength.

NFL analysts confirm Panthers GM Dan Morgan committed draft larceny Dan Morgan had a decent collection of picks during the 2025 NFL Draft. That doesn’t always guarantee success, but the Carolina Panthers general manager emerged from his second selection process with significant credit. Morgan played his draft board masterfully. He struck with conviction when opportunities arose, and brought high-character individuals into the organization who should fit seamlessly into head coach Dave Canales’ culture shift. Each draft pick and undrafted free agent must prove themselves in an NFL setting, but fans were thrilled with the haul. (As seen on Bluesky, but those embeds aren't working here yet _ https://bsky.app/profile/rawnfl.bsky.social/post/3lnxnosfzju2d source: https://www.rawchili.com/nfl/10067/

why arent the tweet embedding. is that in purpose to be anoying or has the huddle lost the ability to embed. cause im going through threads and its a bunch of links. aint no body got time for that

it gets really weird. But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers. I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.

Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB: Can we say we improved here? Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection. WASH RB: Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade. UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas. Tremble and Sanders should improve. UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go. WASH OG: No changes WASH C : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get. Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good). XL and Coker will improve. Lots to like. UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB. We did. I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge: Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones. Strong room. Biggest Need. UPGRADE DL: We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing. Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades. Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have. UPGRADE LB: We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition. I think we will add an UDFA. I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play. SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons. We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team. WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth. I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties. We upgraded them all. I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams: Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS. THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and 5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety) THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season. I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.

Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.

looking forward to us getting at least above 16 again. We've been there before, we'll be there again

Smitty probably envies a 6-5 guy and sees him taking his gifts for granted. He had to work his butt off to play outside at 5-9. I think perspective has a lot to do with his evaluation. TMac played on a bad team. He was on the field a lot. Maybe he makes an assumption when he states that TMac loafed when the ball was not coming to him. Maybe he was advised to catch his breath during those plays--conditioning, coaching, etc. could have been an influence. Smitty can say what he sees, but not why he sees it, if that involves assessing TMac's mindset.

Steve Smith has a dislike of tall receivers. I feel like Smith's main purpose is to boost up small, lesser-known receivers. Every time I've heard T-Mac speak, he just seems to have that it-factor vibe. I love how natural of a catcher he is. He's going to make some fascinating plays that's for sure.

That works for me too. I just felt like not enough have converted to Bluesky and that was why he was "forced" to use X.

I know every jersey thread goes in this direction, but I feel the need to say it. The Chinese knockoffs are not your friend. Not only does the money not go to the panthers, but you don't control where it does go. The athletic did an excellent podcast on the business of counterfeit shirts not too long ago. I could care less about the legality of it, but the morality of it is no bueno. Now I need to wash off the "defends billionaire class" off myself, but like don't give your money to those people. If you can't afford a jersey, just go to ebay, or a thrift store, or wear a t shirt.

A friend of mine, Chip, was taking an exam in a business course that he had failed twice before. He would have to drop out of his major if he failed it for a third time--he claimed the professor, Dr. Brown, despised him, and several others who had Dr. Brown's class with Chip confirmed that Dr. Brown's hatred for Chip was obvious. Before the exam, Chip was up all night cramming, confiding to his roommate Jeff how nervous he was. Jeff was understanding and listened carefully. During the exam (an evening course) Jeff was at work delivering flowers for a local florist. As Chip describes it, a woman (another student who worked with Jeff) entered the classroom with flowers and a card with the words "Dr. Brown" written on the card. The professor immediately sent the girl out; Jeff was watching from the hallway. She left the flowers on his desk and scampered out. Chip laughed because he thought the professor, a man he hated, was being pranked. A few minutes later, the professor opened the envelope, and read the card. Chip was still laughing. He walked toward the students, still taking a timed test, and stopped at Chip's desk, staring at him. Chip stopped laughing. He dropped the card on Chip's desk while snarling at him silently. Chip read the card, "Dr. Brown. I can't tell you how much I have grown under the three semesters of your tutelage and guidance. You are my role model. I will miss you." --Chip Fxxxxx. Chip made a C.

I'm color blind and could never tell the difference

Yeah, loades is a little bit of a leap. It COULD be loaded.

I still look at the roster and think it's a bottom 3 overall in the NFL, if not still firmly last. It's just gonna take some time, IMO.

Was projected to go i the 5th. 6'6" wingspan, a lot of starting experience at Pitt, solid return guy, not too shabby. With the status of our CB room, he has as good a shot as any to creep onto the team. His biggest issue was likely getting drafted by the raiders, bless his heart.

In incarcerated terms OG is Original Gangster, but is a euphemism and term of respect for Old Guys. So when you are locked up and a new guy comes in with his towel and bedroll into your unit that looks 40+ or so you say what’s up OG? It’s kind of a term of respect and acknowledging he is not a young blood.
