I say we draft another back. We could use a dynamic back. Rico was okay but I thought his success was more due to the Online in those games. I didn't really see him overpowering and hitting home runs at the second level.

I like Sam, I thought he was nothing but professional here and wanted to keep him. Baker on the other hand....

Only if we win

Morgan knows he was freed up by Kris Jenkins and Brenston Buckner. Same for Kuechly. Great lbs need great dts.

Yeah he needs to play the new Battlefield like a mature adult. Seriously, don't bash gamers. A competitive gamer probably as more open neural pathways then a non gamer. Which bodes well for strategy, response time, and reflexes. Plenty of articles on that. I was good friends with David Patten mostly known for being a wr with the Patriots. (who passed a few years back) He learned his entire playbook just building the plays into Madden back when you could create your own plays during the Patriots run in the early 2000s.

Is this thread real? I can tell this is a bunch of Carolina Panther fans that are late comers to the Canes. The only reason we even made it this far this year is the coaching. We have 30 million in cap, two 1st round picks this coming year and just went to the ECF for the 3rd time in 7 years as a small market franchise. We also have Jarvis, Aho, Svech, and Slavin long term. We are in a fantastic position and overachieved in a "rebuilding" year. Canes just need to keep injecting talent and we will breakthrough. I wish the Carolina Panthers made it in the NFC Championship game in a rebuilding year with two first rounders and the most cap room in the NFL in the upcoming year.

The Hurricanes also have been great with analytics, and lets be honest, it's also coaching. Development of draft picks is vital. The Hornets have had plenty of high picks, and they either miss or don't develop them properly. Compare the ability of how each the Hornets and Canes develop. It's night and day. The problem with the Hornets has always been at the top, not because of a NBA conspiracy (which may also be true.) I'm just saying that smart teams find a way to eventually be competitive regardless of draft status. Look at the Pacers, great example of a similar market that is consistently pretty competitive. The difference is we select the MKGs and Adam Morrisons of the world.

I don't really think the NHL is rigged though. Plenty of small market teams are competitive. Carolina, St Louis, Edmonton, Calgary, Nashville. I think the Rangers genuinely got lucky, but they've had plenty of bad years. Pittsburgh is going through a rebuild, Detroit, and Chicago are all struggling.

I don't post as much anymore but i check this site everyday. I see the value in Reediitt, but the hardcore Panther historians are here, and also we've all known each other so long that it really in a tight nit community here. It would be dope if we all had custom shop jerseys with our Huddlenames on it and met up at the games. I don't know if the Huddle will grow or not, but the people who've invested years of their life on this site will never leave.

Possible but not actual. Let's see them win a playoff series before we mention them in the same breath.

Any why are the Hornets being included? Don't disrespect the Canes like that.

Agreed, but we don't need to reach either. I have no problem trading back assuming we get the number 1 pick. We need to do what Chicago did to us.

I saw it but I didn't think scoring was a problem. I watched the game and didn't come away thinking our quarterback was the reason we lost. I came away from the game thinking if we had a defense we would probably be in contention for the division. Which is why I say let's start building a team and not focusing on going all in on a quarterback every year.

I agree, but we do have influence on the media here and the type of stories they put out, which in turn affect tepper

I definitely thought that would have been a good idea.
