I expect the defense to eat the offenses lunch during training camp. They're much more talented and further ahead than the offense right now. That might actually help the offense in the regular season, if the Panthers defense turns out better than expected and they had to face them all training camp.

Yes. Worth a shot for a late round pick.

2009 was way worse

I'd trust Moton at LT with his lack of experience there over anyone else on the roster right now. Not sure why Okung wasn't brought back, he might want to play for this team.

That’s the way they want it. Darnold bombs or gets hurt, it’s top of the draft for this bad team

No reason to get someone like that after drafting Horn. If they'd gone for Fields in Round 1 this would be way more possible.

If he has anything at all left in the tank, he’s at best a backup/player coach. And I don’t hate that.

I’ve been wondering why that is. Maybe they’ll train both Bouye and Jackson at nickel and swap them around to match opponents. At least that seems like a good idea on paper

And some douche writer at PFF said he’s not a top 25 WR in the NFL because they forgot he existed

He knows that. I'd be surprised if he plays for the Panthers this season unless something changes with his contract. With DJ up for an extension soon and drafting Marshall, Robby is clearly not in the future plans and he might want to go somewhere that he is.

There's a legit chance Robby gets traded if he doesn't get a new contract I'm just gonna go ahead and say that.

These expansion draft rules are too favorable to the new team. Basically you can protect your top two lines minus one forward, and your top 2 defensive pairings minus one defenseman. The other half of your roster is open for the draft. No wonder Vegas was so good so quickly.

Might get a chance in someone’s training camp but if you’re getting cut in OTA’s you probably don’t even know the playbook well enough to be a camp/practice squad guy/

Just watching the Bruins play, bouncing back on the road against a very good Islanders team after going down 1-0 early. They have guys like Pastrnak and Marchand who are just lethal snipers. Big time goal scorers. The Hurricanes need a couple more elite scorers. With Ned up and coming and a pretty good defensive backline they could be competing next season with just one more elite scorer

They should just be thankful this wasn’t a sweep and it was damn close to being one

See ya next season Canes, I have flipped over to Netflix.

I mean they lost this series last game when they gave up a 4-2 lead, I knew they were done and wouldn’t score another goal after that. Like I said good season, but got wrecked by Tampa.

Damn that close to being down 0-2. These boys need to nut up for the final period

Yea they should be able to go after a few big time scorers. I look at the Lightning and Bruins top lines and the Hurricanes need to add more elite scoring talent. If they can bolster the top line, and Ned continues to grow, they’ll have a very competitive team next season. Sucks the season had to end this way, not even winning a game at home against the Lightning. But I’m hopeful about next season.

Eh it was a good season. Ran into a Tampa juggernaut that skirted some cap rules. Hope they can retool and add some more offensive firepower this offseason to compete with the top teams in the East. The Canes still lag behind the top teams but they’re getting there.

He's not building a dome but will he built a retractable roof stadium? Survey says definitely.

Colbert was actually legit in 2004, he sucked after that. I always wondered if he got injured and it was never disclosed or something. And let’s not forget how lethal Panthers legend Nick Goings was in 2004. How many 100 yard games did he have in a row? I grabbed that dude on my FF team and he was fire for me. All great help for Delhomme that season.

Let’s be real. Jake wasn’t a good QB. Jake was an average QB who had a great supporting cast around him. But what Jake had in spades was moxie and the ability to make clutch throws. If the game was on the line, Jake was gonna make it happen for you. That’s where he was great. He benefited greatly from having prime Steve Smith, veteran Mushin Muhammad, and maybe the most clutch WR ever in Ricky Proehl. As his WR corp declined, so did he. He had a roided up O-Line the year they went to the Super Bowl. And probably a better O-Line in general every season he played than Cam Newton ever had. And let’s not forget how potent the running game was at times to support him. I loved watching Jake play. He was a great dude and it was easy rooting for him. But I’m not looking back and saying he was a good QB. He was a guy who could do just enough to win you a game if the team around him was good enough.

And I mean Henning’s strategy was “run the ball and throw the ball to Steve Smith”

Panthers are closer than you think. 0-8 record in one score games in 2020. That will certainly change in 2021. Defense will be better. Half those games go the Panthers way, the Panthers are 9-7 and a playoff team just last year.
