I’d love Bryce too if I played defense.

Has any team gotten less a return on first round picks the last three seasons than the Panthers?

Parsons wouldn’t accept a trade to Carolina

Tim Dwight had an appendectomy at like half time and played the second half

I don’t think there’s a chance in hell salah would come here. we hired a head coach no other team interviewed and I think there’s a reason for that.

Evero tried to leave! He wanted out! That the most amazing thing. mark my words that move by tepper will haunt us for years. Completely unheard of in that situation.

the refs beat alabama that game

i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers. The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him. so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic. At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.

Hendon Hooker has an absolute hose, but in 2022 Tennessee was running a mickey mouse air raid offense and he doesn't place the ball very well. It didn't matter when he was throwing to three track stars, but he couldn't do anything against UGA. he hasn't done a thing in the NFL. most likely role for him on this team is throwing end of half hail marys

jerry won't even live long enough to see the picks be used

Panthers cut Hunter renfrow to show they didn’t even WANT to cut thielen just so they could get a 4th for likely dropping their 5th round pick half a round and a 7th.

entering year three of thielens last season in the league

In defense of falcons coaches, he fuging sucks. multiple coaching staffs have come to this conclusion. dude literally can’t play football

Kyle Pitts has the football acumen of Ian Thomas, the blocking ability of Jimmy Graham, and the give a poo of late career Jay Cutler. falcons fans and coaches hate him. dude is trash.

Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

It’s probably the kind of stupid bullshit that tepper has done since arriving in Charlotte, most notably with the training facility in Spartanburg: make a deal, agree to terms, then demand a little bit more at the very last second after all the work has been done. It’s stupid 80s businessman bullshit

I watched it happen all game in Atlanta. I had very good seats for that game. I’m fairly certain I mentioned it in the game thread at the time and also mentioned it up thread. it’s very obvious live.

Btw that was the only defense last year that played twice against the Bryce led offense which uh is not a good sign

I mean that’s fair. Also Andy just couldn’t stay healthy. he’s about my age and I get it.

"miracle" is doing a lot of work here

well, yeah.

basically if the panthers trade Thielen they're not trying to win this year. I mean they're not going to regardless but this means its the plan not to. no team is going into the season in 2025 with 80 career catches between their top 3 healthy WR. you'd be turning this from a bottom 3rd of the league offense to like the nathan peterman bills pair that with a defense that is most likely going to struggle, and they're looking at 2001 again.

well, one QB went anyway

I think when taking everything into consideration, you're correct. As to why? Plans within plans who knows.

I don't think its appropriate to comment on what she does in her free time.
