Who is Carrol?

I would give a 2nd and 5th for Roquan Smith in a heart beat. I went back and watched some games from 2012 to 2018 and God damn could that defense fly to the ball and HIT. Kuechly's athleticism was so underrated by all that it's not even funny. His change of direction, Lateral speed, short area burst, and quickness are something I haven't seen in a long time. Then if we could go out next year and draft a guy similar to Thomas Davis, hot damn. We didn't realize what we had at the time. Hell, even with TD, Luke, ans Jon Beason we didn't know. Those are three Hall of Fame talents. I feel like Kuechly is the only near term HOFer there but Davis may get in one day. He was a menace.

Mr. Scot, everyone is under a mandate to perform, whether you're a janitor, in a marriage contract, engaged, a child in school, or an NFL Head Coach. There are expectations for everyone and more specifically, goals to reach. So to say "no" would be a lie as I'm sure they have goals to reach. The correct answer would've been what he gave, along with "I won't give our seasons goals" because they likely don't align with what Panthers fans would like to see. They know the reality of the roster.

Amazing how far Charleston Rambo has fallen. From great Oklahoma wide receiver to training camp fodder.

Go watch highlights of Kuechly and tell me he wasn't a physical freak of nature. Luke was more of an athlete than most middle linebackers in the league right now and to say anything otherwise I'd say is discounting his athleticism because he was a white dude.

Who's to say that he isn't? If NFL owners were "blowing their money" by owning an NFL team, guess what? They wouldn't own the team. It's the same as owning any other business and this take that billionaires (usually in non-liquid assets) could somehow magically make rainbows and unicorns is a fallacy that should be left to the tinderbox. It's a garbage take based on nothing but emotional, irrational thinking. Sounds good, but generally false.

He said difference of opinion. It's likely like Mills seriously challenged Rivera on something or just blatantly disregarded an instruction regarding how to run something.

What's the problem? Rivera is the head football coach. He can't be held hostage due to who someone's father was.

You don't think David Gettis makes it back from injury this year?

Panthers coverage making a comeback.

Probably as much to do with Bill's defense as it is the Patriots offense.

Just prefer Higgins to Anderson is all. Saunders isn't going to replace Anderson on the outside. I get Anderson can run, I really do, but his stone hands probably cost the Panthers two games last year. Specifically remember one sequence where he dropped three straight. Not a good look when a guy can go out and do that and be left in while a guy like Higgins may celebrate in practice and everyone gets to run.

If we saw something we liked wouldn't we have brought him in before now?

Zylstra made a lot of big plays early. Personally, I'd rather see Higgins and Saunders play than Anderson.

The amazing thing is how much you have to eat to maintain that weight, much less gain weight. Jesus.

Was Sam Mills Sam Mills before he became Sam Mills? Obviously not. The point is that you never know what someone is going to be and Hayes had an interception in his first practice running with the ones I believe. He was solid at App as well which is slowly becoming a DBU of sorts at the G5 level, seeing several guys get to the league and bounce around a bit. Obviously it's less than what P5's put out but for a school still semi transitioning from FCS, it's not bad.

Yeah. I don't get the logic here. Perhaps it's investment of Rock Hill and SC that's driving it but whats the NPV over keeping it in Charlotte?

Hey! Tae Hayes was one of the best corners in the USFL in Spring. Is he undersized? Yes. But who else was undersized and came from the USFL to the Panthers? Hint: he's now in the Hall of Fame. Suck it.

I think Panthers camp should be held at App State, out of the heat, but that's just my opinion. The Cowboys do this in California and it's not an issue. If anything, it allows you to be more productive because you're not contending with the heat. At this point, you're not forging players in the proverbial heat of middle South Carolina. As for teams facilities, Rock Hill is fine but wouldn't you want your weekly offices as close to your stadium as possible? Players live in Charlotte right now and if they move to SC their going to be paying taxes to two states I believe. Then you have the commute to contend with for those who purchase homes in and around Charlotte. Just overall a lack of consideration for players and their families by moving facilities to South Carolina, especially as the influx of Yankees and California's continues.

It was a screen Ricky, a screen. They let him go and he played it perfectly.

He really can't help himself can he? Down the roster guys depend on preseason, as do young players and new guys to a system. Robbie is dense AF. Based.

He shouldn't be worried. A man is never worried. A man has a plan. A man works. And that is Sam's problem, he isn't a man in a man's league. That's why he gets so little play with his teammates and part of why Rhule is not followed as the leader of the team. Player led programs are ideal but they only work when you're winning.

Yeah. Baker made Shaq take him.

Why did people say Baker had an attitude problem before he came here? Baker was clearly not the issue in Cleveland.

Looks like Baker threw it.
