I don't care for Clifford but the young talent on this team is exciting enough to overcome his shortcomings if fully healthy. LaMelo, Miller, Bridges, PJ, Mark is a really really solid core to build around and develop. Hayward and Rozier should come off the bench and are very solid in that role if that's how we do it. We were 43-39 in 21-22 with a mostly healthy LaMelo and Bridges, now we're adding Miller and Mark which are huge additions. If Clifford can't make this roster a top 6 seed this year he's gotta go. But I do think the roster is good enough this year to be a locked in top 6 seed and playoff team in the East if healthy. Miles being suspended for 10 games not ideal but it's short enough we can manage.

Bryce will lead us to being top 10 this year

The lack of a legit offense is a very legit point when looking at Burns’ raw sack numbers. A lot of sacks come when your team is up in the 2nd half and the other team is forced to be predictable and throw the ball every play. Burns hasn’t had many of those types of games to get those opportunities. Glad he’s getting the recognition. That said, I still do think there have been flaws to his game keeping him from being top 10 at his position, i.e. run D and finishing off sacks (lots of pressure where he should get a sack but the QB just avoids getting brought down, overruns, etc.). Switching to the 3-4 should help that and I can absolutely see him dominating and playing like a top 5 pass rusher in Evero’s scheme.

Ok not sure what that has to do with my post or the post I quoted

lol what, even with Dalton we'll be significantly better than 2010, what a ridiculous take. Probably even better than 2011 with Dalton too. We were better than 2011 last year despite trash at QB and coach much of the year. Panthers will easily make the playoffs this year if Bryce stays healthy, and possibly still make it even if he doesn't.

I didn't say it'd be cheap, Tep has the money

Lot of things to like about the staff but let's see how they perform before making claims like that. Not comparing the current group to this but everyone universally lauded our hiring of Joe Brady as OC and we all know how that turned out... No doubt there's a tremendous mix of experience and younger brighter minds bringing fresh ideas but best in the league top to bottom should be reserved for staffs that have shown results. Ours is entirely unproven right now.

rotoworld was already trending the wrong way, I used to always go there for player news, trades, etc. across the sports but they got rid of some sports entirely and others have gotten less coverage/more delayed reporting. that combined with the new eyesore of a format/website and I may be done with it

fuging outrageous that this doofus caters to the demands of soccer players that don't even play for his team but won't listen to the demands of his own players. I'm way happier with how this offseason has gone than his first 5 years but damn Tepper this is the easiest fuging thing to do to make players and fans happy and he still won't budge.

damn PFT and rotoworld absolutely ruined their websites, jesus christ that is a terrible new layout/format

lol terrible, there's no chance we'll be that low. Also the Rams were bad last year due to injuries they'll be contending for a wildcard or better this year easily and they're at 30 in that list.

LaMelo, Miller, Miles is exciting. Get rid of Terry now and sign Seth Curry

Hornets fug up again most likely, shocker lol. that said I hated the Melo pick and he’s the best player from that draft so what do I know

Truly no one knows

brutal next month

Kunkel is a cool dude I've met him before, but he's a total hack as a "reporter."

...???

IMAGINE getting Zion for like PJ, Rozier, a bunch of 1sts and still getting Scoot at 2... Starting 5: LaMelo Scoot Miles Zion Williams

uhh he never played for the Panthers..?

I'm not sure the specifics but wasn't that trade pre-draft? I can't think of a draft night trade involving picks where the pick was traded and the new team made the selection. It's always the original team making the selection for the new team basically then trading the player.

unless the nba changed the rules the pick has to come first even if we had an agreed upon trade in place

I do think best player is different than most valuable. A QB will always be MVP in the current era and that's Mahomes. But I don't think best player is necessarily a QB. In years past I'd say Donald had a legit argument for best player but he's fallen off a bit while Mahomes has continued to get even better and do more with less. So I still go with Mahomes as being the best player but not just because he's the best QB. I think he's that much better at his position than any other player is at theirs. If Donald were still in his prime it'd be a toss up. Also I'd put prime Luke up there.

SCOOT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

It’s still incredibly poor judgement by Miller. Doesn’t scare me off in the least but it is a small factor to consider especially with the Bridges situation.

tremendous throw where only the receiver could catch it which is all that matter for us but that was a massive push off lol
