I think Daniels might be the best rookie ever. Any rookie.

I think the NFL is gearing up for the LA vs Detroit NFC Championship for the Goff/Stafford storyline. After that, I think you’re right

Have you seen the calls they are giving Mahomes? If the NFL officiated Mahomes like they did Cam, he wouldn’t have a Super Bowl ring

I can because Mahomes is being gifted wins by the NFL. Brady got questionable calls, sure, but the NFL is actively rigging games for the Chiefs.

I absolutely hate Patrick Mahomes. More than I ever hated Tom Brady. Mahomes is a whiny floppy bitch.

I think it’s time the defenders actively headhunt Mahomes like the Broncos did to Cam. If they’re going to get flagged for nothing, might ass well knock his ass out of the game

Probably CTE or undiagnosed bi-polar

Scapegoat for turf injuries or a real issue with the training staff??

I fart into the past too

The biggest thing Bryce did in 2024 over his disastrous 2023 campaign is pass the eye test. He made plays, played consistent over the course of a whole game, and showed confidence. He moved the offense at times. So I’m cautiously optimistic, but I’ll be full blown excited if we see him perform at the same level or better in 2025 when the games actually matter.

No LSU receivers? Ok some of the best receivers in the NFL right now went there haha

Legette is who he is, they knew this before they drafted him. Many panthers fans were upset that Cam spent a ton of his off time at strip clubs smoking cigars but the difference was he delivered on Sunday most of the time. Legette just needs to improve next year (he was a rookie after all) and he will be fine. I couldn’t care less if he’s eating small game meat for fun, as long as he’s making catches.

Rigged game. Too many non calls against OSU for me to think this was a fair game. Play before the 4th down was PI.

This game is rigged.

These refs are trying to push this toward OSU. Blatant calls against OSU going uncalled. Total horsesh*t

Hate to say it but if he needs Pat Surtain money, let him walk. For something lower but still good compensation, re-sign. He’s a good albeit not always healthy player. Focus on the pass rush and deal with one tier lower coverage if your rush can get to the QB. I mean look at what Ron did with garbage at corner for years with quality pass rushers

Yea I noticed some buggy issues the last few months and I’ve been told that he has checked out of the page. Some here are friends with him on FB and socials I think. Maybe they can get him to do an update before next season starts

Ya know Ron DeSantis might have been unfairly been nicknamed the meatball because there’s no one more deserving of that nickname than Matt Rhule

The site could use updates. Especially if the team improves next season. @Jeremy Igo @Zod

Maybe Jeremy can just come back and fix this properly or did he lose the site in a game of Russian roulette, or so the legend goes?

The roster is a mess if you zoom out. They have to rebuild the entire defense this offseason. The offense is in better shape but mainly because they spent a lot of money and resources on it last offseason. I think the first round pick will be a LB, probably of the pass rushing variety. Huge need on the edge for guys who can rush the QB. They got their moneys worth out of Clowney this year, but he’s signed for another season at a $10m cap hit. I wonder if he’s a cap casualty. But on a roster as barren as this one, especially on defense, they might have to keep him out of sheer necessity. Wonnum made an impact once he returned from injury but they need to get depth on the edge. DJ Johnson didn’t make much of an impact. DL in general could be in for a reshuffling with some younger veterans being brought in. They need to upgrade at safety big time. Jordan Fuller was a bust, a healthy scratch by the end of the year. Xavier Woods can go. So many times he showed up on game day with a bad play or badly timed penalty. I expect they’ll go free agency for this but who knows, they have some draft picks to work with. They might retain some of the young players who they played late in the season for training camp and see who sticks. CB Mike Jackson is a no brainer to re-sign to me. He expressed an interest to return to the team and won’t command a top dollar in free agency. Behind him the team needs to probably draft a mid round corner as depth to develop and sign a veteran in free agency. If they re-sign Jackson, the corner position is in a good place. They’ll probably look to lock up Horn long term this offseason. The offense is surprisingly in a much better position than last year. The WR position is deep. Thielen is probably in his last season with the team, but he’d be best served as a WR2/3. Legette needs to take a step up along with Coker. I definitely think bringing back David Moore makes sense. He made plays and seemed to have a connection with Bryce. TE is in decent shape with the emergence of JT Sanders. Hopefully we have seen the last of Ian Thomas. Tremble is a FA and I’m curious if they re-sign him. He isn’t horrible but they could also use someone with a higher ceiling to be that elite pass catching TE. If Tremble doesn’t break the bank, might be worth re-signing him and re-evaluating the position next year with bigger needs on the roster. The Brooks injury really f*cked up the RB room. He wasn’t worth the draft pick and might go down as an Eric Shelton level bust. I agree that cutting Sanders is a no-brainer but disagree with re-signing him. I’d honestly like to see if they could sign Jaylen Warren as a compliment to Hubbard, with Blackshear returning as the RB3. Warren won’t be cheap but less expensive than Sanders was. Brooks should be IRed for the entire season and not return until 2026. Maybe he has a long career due to these years off from football similar to what happened with Thomas Davis, but it’s hugely disappointing to spend a 2nd round draft pick on a player who will not see the field for two seasons, and had an injury to start his NFL career to boot. A late round RB in the draft makes sense as depth. OL needs Brady Christensen back and I think they have to pay him starter money to keep him. I’m fine with it. He can play all the positions on the OL. Essentially a 6th man. Pay him. Protect Bryce. After that they have a decision to make with Icky who had an up and down season, and Taylor Moton getting up there in age. Another reason Christensen is a priority to re-sign, with Nijman walking and no depth at tackle after that. A free agent tackle like Nijman makes sense again. Overall there’s a few key re-signings (Christensen and Mike Jackson) that will really set up the offseason. If they don’t get Jackson back, they’ll have to spend to get a starting caliber corner under Horn. If they don’t get Christensen back, they’ll have a depth problem on the offensive line. All the other needs are obvious. The safety room is going to be completely redone, the linebacker position needs a blue chip player, defensive line will be reshuffled. It’s a lot of moving parts. The good thing is, if Bryce takes another step forward, Dan Morgans job is much easier.

Ron Rivera to the Bears

Canales 100% deserves a second season. A 3 wins improvement next season would be excellent.

Give him credit for what? The team just finished its 6th straight double digit losing season, 7th straight losing season under his ownership. They have up the most points in NFL HISTORY. So sure I’ll give him credit for being the sole reason the Panthers have been the laughing stock of the NFL since he bought the team. I’ll give him credit for raising money for the hurricane victims.

On the one hand, the team gave him minimal resources to be successful. The defense was obviously the afterthought in the team building process. It’s like the offense was for basically two decades under Fox and Rivera. There are maybe 2 or 3 players on the defense that would even have a chance to start on other rosters. On the other hand, I routinely saw Evero calling inappropriate defensive calls for the situation. Playing corners 5-7 yards off receivers on 3rd and 1. I saw lack of effort from defenders on many occasions. The Jamar Chase long TD comes to mind. So I’m torn, because Evero wasn’t set up for success. But at the same time if they’re about to invest a large amount of resources into the defense, they might as well have the head coach hand pick his guy.
