When I was in my early 20s, this kid wound have been put on a pedestal. Not only did he get the information from an Atlanta coach, he framed the Saints. He is on a different level. Don't get me wrong--it was stupid-- and if I was his dad I would be pissed--but the nerve--the balls---the unbridled disregard for the consequences of the establishment--few people have ever reached this level. But there are others who were more brilliant, but for these examples, we have to go to the Ivey League and MIT. Let's start with MIT: During the 1982 season, seven members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) managed to bury a weather balloon under the field in Harvard's stadium over a three-week period. The meticulous planning and technologically advanced prank led to those MIT students (safely) disrupting the Harvard/Yale game during the second quarter. The balloon, with "MIT" written all over it, inflated to eight feet before popping. The student newspaper at MIT covered the event with a simple, fitting headline. "Saturday's score: MIT 1, Harvard/Yale 0." -------------------- Yes, another Harvard/Yale game. This time, though, MIT wasn't involved. No, this clever trick in 2004 was the brainchild of two Yale students with the assistance of about 20 others. Disguised as "Harvard Pep Squad" members, the Yale students distribute red and white placards to the Crimson crowd. They assured the fans that "Go Harvard" would be spelled out on the cards. In reality? "WE SUCK" appeared on the Harvard side. --------------------------

Also remember that essentially Derrick Brown is an offseason addition to the defense too, that’s not insignificant when we’re talking about improving the defense from last year.

Cheap and high quality.

I don't think any authentic jerseys are going to be available for a good while. Chinese bootlegs on the other hand...

I want to know more about the altercation between him and Icky over a Chubba hit in practice.

Yea, I'm not sure how I feel about him yet. A lot of qb prospects make huge rises or falls the year before they come out, and he doesn't even have to come out for a long time. So I'm not judging him as a prospect before the upcoming season is over. It's just something I've been wondering about since the absurd amount of top 30 visits. Not really saying my opinion on him as a prospect or drafting him either way. Just reading some tea leaves so to speak.

About Clowney. He has developed into a leader and his value might be more than his performance would indicate. Young teams need that, which is why character matters. On the other hand, a veteran player can override the coaching--supposedly during meetings, after the coach would say something, players would look at Rodgers for confirmation. Players are in their twenties for the most part and easily influenced.

Yea and we only brought 1 in, the udfs linebacker. That's what makes me think there was more to the visits. Even if my theory is true I think they're still hoping Bryce continues to improve as choice #1. But by how fast Dave benched Bryce and how long it took to bench Dalton to put him back in, I don't think Dave is 100% confident in the ceiling of Bryce. Might as well do a little qb research just in case even if you're 90% sure Bryce is the answer.

Here for the "Cheap AND high quality?" comment

but again, we have drafted more players from that college than anyone else on planet Earth....and that stat predates Sellers stepping on a football field. It's just what the Panthers do for whatever reason. Sellers averages like 15 rush attempts per game. And he isn't Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson. I think Sellers around these parts has been vastly overrated because of a game Clemson couldn't tackle in (and Clemson proved in every game this season they might not be able to tackle David Tepper if he was in the open field. Sellers couldn't do anything as a passer that game. Was meh in the bowl game. But sure, he had some miracle scrambles vs a horrible tackling Clemson team. Folks way too high on him IMO).

Btw, Jerky Boys were the real GOATs of prank calls. We wore those tapes out back in the day.

Good lord that's insane. LOL It's insane to use over a third of your top 30 visits on prospects at any one school much less a middle of the pack P5 school. It's not like South Carolina is Ohio State or Alabama, etc. They're basically half a step up from UNC. Hell, we beat them last time we played.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying we used 11 of our top 30 visits on south carolina players and we brought in one, as a udfa. I just wonder if some of that was to research Sellers. Also I don't like South Carolina as a Pipeline either, but Sellers does have a lot of potential and could definitely climb up the qb rankings this season. He was a redshirt freshman last year and showed a lot of improvement. They clearly didn't spend 11 of the top 30 interviews on south carolina players because they were wanting to bring them in this year or they would have drafted some or brought in more than 1 udfa.

This is the only reasonable approach. He played much better down the stretch last season. Well enough for us to commit to him this season. Let's let this season play out and see where it goes. There's no pressing decision that has to be made right now so it's a non-issue.

maybe one of the worst franchises in the NFL......should reconsider the pipeline fixation from the U of SC. We have more draft picks from there than any other university on planet Earth. and zero all time from the best football program in the Carolina's. might be time to mix it up differently.

Oh ye of little faith. Bryce Young will be the starter for the Carolina Panthers for years to come. You better prepare thy anus.

Don't forget we spent a lot of draft capital in taking Mingo, Legette, and McMillian to give him wr weapons after we spent a fortune to make him the #1. I don't think he will ever live up to being a no. 1 pick but could turn into a serviceable starter.

I literally say this all the time and my kids have no idea why.. "I GOT MAIL..YAYYY!!"

Met several people from here at the Super Bowl pre-party in SF before SB50. Roaring Riot basically started here as a fledgling little tailgate. I’m sure Jeremy is just busy with life and Lord knows I know that poo happens, but this place still rocks and I’m grateful to him for it.

Luke had to enlighten on that lol.

I honestly think this coming season is his make or break year. I have noticed some press conferences where Dan and Dave have made some interesting comments when asked about bryces future and upcoming contract and they've basically said they're not thinking about that or factoring it in at all. Hopefully he continues to improve, that is our best bet. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks they have already start preparing if he doesn't make another jump this year. The thing that have made me wonder, while doing some detective work. The Redshirt freshman from South Carolina, Lanorris Sellers. He has crazy potential and improved greatly throughout the season last year. I saw we had 11 south carolina players in for our top 30s including 5 or 6 that were expected to go undrafted. It's a bit of a conspiracy theory but could they already be doing a lot of research on Sellers by talking to his teammates. Again, I'm not a Bryce hater and I think the best option is he continues to make a jump this season. It's just something that has stood out to me.

AT cant' get open either. He is just a savvy old guy eating on up all the slot reps. The fact he seperate and run lower the entire ceiling of a Bryce Young O. As does the fact we get below league average production out of the backfield in the pass game when we go to it. since the moment we drafted Bryce, I have banged the drum slot WR, rec RB, and TE would be the most important things we could do to build around Bryce. We have done basically the polar opposite. It's why I call the Tepper era random parts.

yeah...very favorable remarks from what i've heard. seems everyone was also very surprised with the TMac pick. that video was funny "he lied to my face"

he averaged 2 yards in YAC per reception last year. He can't generate quick separation. He was debating retirement last year. Yet we champion him as some great option. AT is a savvy vet we force feed the ball too......on a team starved for basic offense the last couple seasons. We overrated AT. Which is why some freak when people like JT on his podcast point out the painfully obvious about him.
