The entire vibe for the team sucks now. I used to be so hyped for training camp to start, learn about the new players, see who was going to make an impact this season. And now it’s like I know this team is going to be garbage so I don’t care anymore.

https://defector.com/why-your-team-sucks-2024-carolina-panthers Usually these things are supposed to be hyperbole but in the case of the Panthers...I don't think it is. There isn’t. This is the worst franchise in the NFL. Jets fans look down on Panthers fans, and are right to. I’d rather get myself off with a lit stick of dynamite than watch this glorified UFL outfit. And my favorite quote: Welp have fun y'all!

I’m a hair over 6’ tall barefoot. I would love to meet Bryce just to have a reference to his true size.

I mean the issue isn't that Morgan said he had to go clear the trade with the owner, the issue is they didn't trade the player to the team that offered a QB level haul of picks.

So far I am loving the Odyssey. Great features and overall a well designed vehicle. So much easier to get kids in and out with the sliding doors, no banging the car doors next to you in tight parking lots, it's soooo comfortable. And best of all my wife is comfortable driving it. Maybe when the kids get older we'll get something like a Yukon or big SUV but for now the minivan is perfect.

It looks like a fan meeting an NFL player

Since when is Tom Brady a seasoned TV announcer. They bumped the guy with actual experienced for the guy they paid way too much money for

It would be difficult to do much worse than David Tepper has but I guess it’s possible. Navarro has a background in sports in general including football (his dad was a college football coach). Tepper’s dad was an accountant.

Well they did hire him too so it sticks

Runner up potential Panthers owner Ben Navarro’s daughter is apparently a pro tennis player and she is a contender at Wimbledon this year. https://people.com/all-about-emma-navarro-parents-kelly-and-ben-navarro-8674624 The guy raised a pro athlete maybe he would have done a better job with the Panthers WHO KNOWS

Yea the prices and interest rates on vehicles right now are pretty crazy although the prices have gone down a little. We ended up buying a 2021 Odyssey EX-L with 44k miles over the weekend. 36k OTD. They put new tires on the van and it was fully inspected and serviced. It is a certified used Honda with 1 year remaining bumper to bumper warranty and 4 years powertrain warranty. I ended up buying a 4 yr dealer extended bumper to bumper warranty for an extra $2,400 which included 8 oil changes and tire rotations with no time cap. I'm not one to usually buy extended warranties but with the oil changes and tire rotations included I thought it was a pretty good deal, if literally anything breaks we're fully covered until 2029.

Someone said the truth about Bryce and got canned

Went to a Kia dealer this afternoon with the intention of test driving a used 2020 Sienna they supposedly had, but it was already sold. So we peeked at the Carnivals while we were there, but I thought they were even uglier in person. I don't see the SUV in disguise, I saw an uglier bulkier looking minivan. Interiors are nice though, it felt more like the Odyssey interior. The minivan stock is really low right now, not trying to buy new but we might have to just to have some options.

I am high on Arch for sure and I know it’s very very early but his limited garbage time snaps last season left a lot of room for development. It’ll be interesting to see how he performs in fall 2025. We may have a more realistic chance to get Quinn Ewers in the 2025 draft.

Jones showed 10x what Bryce showed in their respective rookie seasons.

The Highlander we drove had captains chairs. But the odyssey is sweet because it has a removable middle piece of the second row and you can make them captains chairs or have a bench. And the chairs slide. It is a nice feature

3rd row in the minivan is a breeze! Minivans are sweet from everything I've seen in my test drive, they just lack the cool factor of an SUV. The low clearance is an issue every once in awhile too but not enough to make me not want to buy one.

Yea we kinda relinquished to being minivan people for the next 5-7 years or so until kids are old enough not to need carseats and boosters anymore. Sliding doors are awesome, so much easier to stick a kid in. I liked the Odyssey a lot. The Sienna is just a stupid price at this point too, although it's a nice minivan as well.

Been an SUV person my whole driving life. But with kiddos I'm pretty close to getting a minivan for the sliding doors and extra space/comfort. The features you get with the minivans are way higher than the SUVs for similar prices from what I can see. I've test driven the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander. I read that the Kia Carnival is supposed to be nice but I #1 can't bring myself to consider a Kia and I think they're butt ugly. If you ended up with a specific SUV or minivan, why and what do you like about it?

Go look at Greg Olsen's instagram if you want to see some former Panthers players who were in attendance. So sad to see how far this team has fallen.

For as hyped as he was and as big of a name as he is, Clowneys stats are not that great.

She probably rakes in plenty of money herself. Influencer is a lucrative income stream. Almost made me vomit writing that.

If Bryce makes a step forward I can see 7-10. If Bryce is who he was last season, this team won’t win a game with him under center

I’m just curious what kind of person he really is. I saw some posts from people on the /r/nfl thread on Reddit about the panthers stadium proposal debacle and some claimed they had met him in person and he was, in fact, kind of a douche. But I’d like to hear if anyone here has actually met him? Maybe it’s not as bad as we think?
