how does something sink when it's already on the bottom of the ocean

sure, but Panthers are theoretically in their win now window. Their first rounder needs to be a day one starter

Icky is a road grader in a way that Walker isn’t. There’s a reason one was a first rounder and one was a seventh. No drop off is a big statement.

From a packers fan “He's okay. Packers drafted Jordan Morgan a couple seasons ago to play LT. Injuries across the line have prevented him from actually being able to play there because Morgan can play multiple spots (varying levels of success). Walker is purely a LT. Between bad lineman contracts last year and Walker having his worst season last year, the market wasn't there so he took a prove-it deal.”

Moton is 31. Might not be a 2027 for him.

I dunno. This contract is one year journeyman tackle money. Kinda makes me think the people that get paid to watch him on a snap by snap basis in the NFL think he’s replacement level, which is fine for what the panthers do on offense. They don’t need elite tackle play for what Bryce can do

0.35 fewer pressures a game is a big deal when you're only dropping back to throw deep once

protect the who? be wary of young players the Packers let walk, especially on offense

Greg hardy: sat out a year, got 12 mil for a nothing season in Dallas, is so crazy he got blackballed from the league, then went on to get rag dolled by toe tags in knockoff UFC leagues.

Lmao cops said there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him with aggravated battery on law enforcement. enjoy those new gym facilities, lads

Kamara has said multiple times he’s either playing in New Orleans or retiring and I believe him. He’s a different kind of dude.

Diego Pavias job to lose

Such a vibe

good for cade last time i'll tell this story he was originally a UGA recruit. when he came for his final visit, his dad was sitting down on a metal folding chair and accidentally chopped one of his fingers. But they're real country so he was just like "Well I got 9 more it's fine" and moved on with their lives. When Cade wanted to transfer to UT, UGA was initially going to block the transfer until his dad came by and was like "REMEMBER THAT FINGER I LOST?!" and UGA was like "okay fair."

seriously I think Billy could sell out BoA

I'll be for the new turf when they get Billy to do a stadium show once a year. Until then it's the worst thing that's happened to Charlotte sports since Ray Woolridge.

i got some bad news for you about the Panthers turf

you were half right

Getting traded to the Bears, then to the Bills, is like the platonic ideal of a former Panther career path. All that's left is a last year deal in carolina, 700 yards, a first round playoff loss, then a local charlotte restaurant and an endorsement deal with Safelite

Gonna free up Rozeboom to whiff on so many sacks I can't wait.

that's a lot of pressures on a team with Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Braun, Smith, etc, coached by Vic Fangio. We've got Derrick Brown, two corners, and then a bunch of guys named Greg.

these helmets also probably don't do much for CTE which is caused by tons of small impacts over the course of a career. So they're probably really good for middle and HS and college players since 99.9% won't be playing pro and (in theory) don't have to worry about that so much. if you can just minimally dissipate the impact from huge hits in youth football that's a worthy endeavor. in the pros, at the end of the day it's the biggest, fastest, strongest people slamming into each other. it's just physics at that point

contracts will always go up just because the cap goes up. pass rush, QB, LT are the premium positions and they'll always get record setting contracts now is this is the pass rusher to set that? eesh. i mean this is definitely the panthers top 2 or 3 need but man i dunno about this.

so just glancing at this which is the closest thing I've found to an actual study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11511751/ it seems like they're doing their best to recreate impacts in a controlled environment a football player receives, then designing helmets that dissipate the force from those impacts. Just off the top of my head the main questions I would ask are 1. how accurate are the lab conditions to real life and 2. how do you account for those differences so it's obviously honorable and worthy research I just don't know how meaningful it is to the actual game. Especially when players are coached to fake different injuries (guy gets up from an obvious concussion and all his team mates are telling him to rub his shoulder) or your dumbass running back will just throw the blue tent open and drag your obtunded qb back onto the field
