TV guys said chest injury if I heard correctly

I think "fixed" the o-line is a bit strong. He definitely improved the o-line, but I'm still not sure we have the answer at C or LT. Corbett was playing great, but will he be back? Brady has done ok, but is he the long term guy? And I don't see Ickey as a franchise LT.

I could've sworn that I read we'd get a 5th even if we kept him and he signed somewhere else this offseason - not sure if that's correct though. Either way - trading away a sixth that is likely to be the top spot for a fifth that will be near the bottom is some dumb poo.

I expected 4 wins max, but I thought Bryce would show some improvement and we'd be somewhat competitive in most games.

I knew we'd be bad this season, but I was holding out some hope that Bryce would be marginally competent given all of the investment on the o-line. At this point, I don't see how we turn things around. If Tepper hadn't proven he'll make the worst decision every time, I'd have some hope, but here we are. I feel like the guy in the tree in Jerry Clower's coon huntin' story except I'm stuck in the tree with a Panther -" just shoot up here amongst us, one of us has got to have some relief".

I’ve been a fan since day 1, and I don’t have any interest in other teams. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel this time. In years past we could look forward to drafting better players, hiring better coaches etc, but I don’t think Tepp and the Mrs. are capable. The team will continue to make money, so he’s unlikely to sell. I feel like our only hope is Tepper moving the team. When Shinn moved the Hornets I stopped watching the NBA and that’s been great. I know myself well enough to know that something like that is the only way I can stop watching the Panthers. It just sucks.

Freddie is a proven choke artist. Tonight was par for the course - not to mention he's been bad the whole series. I blame RBA as much as I blame Freddie. Rod has no faith in Pyotr, and too much faith in Freddie.

My expectation is that he'll be marginally better than last year, but still not very good. For me to have faith in him, he'd need to show tangible improvement over the course of the season and be able to carry the team on his shoulders in at least one game. IMHO a franchise QB should have the ability to elevate the rest of the team and change the tide of a game in a positive way.

Were you tripping balls during the procedure?

Feeling dumber for reading this - thanks for contributing OP.

lol - thanks

I've come to the realization that Tepper is actively trying to run this franchise into the ground. I used to think he was just a moron, but I have to believe that a moron would get lucky and make a sound decision once in a while. I'm more convinced than ever that we are in a real life version of Major League and David Tepper is the owner who is trying to alienate the fanbase.

Tepper has to be trying to purposely run fans off. I believe he's an idiot, but even an idiot lucks into a good thing occasionally. The Carolina Panthers are like the baseball team from Major League - but Dave ain't hot.

On the plus side, Dan and Dave are "managing" this roster back to another #1 pick in 2025.

Actually not tripping. Burns is overrated as fug. With that said, he was a first round pick at a valuable position. The Panthers braintrust just let him walk for a 2nd round pick and a swap of 5ths (if I read correctly). I'm trippin over the continued ineptitude of this front office. Burns was the highest rated FA on at least one site's board. I refuse to believe that some team wouldn't pay more than a 2nd round pick. Then again, Dan Morgan and David Tepper appear to be dumb enough that they were probably always going to get fleeced. Heck - I'm honestly happy to see Burns' quitter butt off the team along with his idiot brother/hypeman

Heard he changed "Mom's spaghetti" to "Ben's spaghetti".

I doubt they're feeling glad right now - although if they think they dodged a bullet they may be.

Josina Anderson proving that she's in the know again....

That was Miles Sanders-esque by Gibbs

If you remove fandom it honestly makes sense. We have a terrible owner, a bad roster, and we're tied to a QB that leaves a lot to be desired. WFT has draft assets, a better roster, and no Tepper. I hate it because I think he'll be a good coach.

Welp - guess I need to add Campen into the Panthers Game of Thrones

It's wild to me that one of Tepper's rats is the same dude coaching one of the absolutely worst units on the team. If I did my job as poorly as Campen did last season, I'd duck every time my boss came nearby. I wonder if this reporting has anything to do with Dave & Nicole always observing OL practice?
