This is actually a good point. There was a noticeable tone change from Rhule after that happened. Does Sam get extra leeway if/when he underperforms? I doubt he will be dumb enough to throw the staff under the bus like Teddy did.

You aren't a Panthers fan. You literally posted that you weren't. If we ban that dope, you'd be next.

Well the meltdowns and HOF enshrinments typically happen to every player, sometimes within seconds of each other.

Agreed. I don't think he will be starting long.

Panthers 27 Jets 24 Closer than expected.

Elflein has consistently fuged up in his career.

Yeah, I am sure it happens a bunch. I just think you accept the errors if the guy has upside versus the guy you know is going to fug up.

So, about that.....

I know that, on paper, they aren't better than us.

Even if we aren't bad, we are definitely thin.

Can't be a good sign to be jettisoning a 3rd round pick after one year.

100% agree. This is year two of the rebuild. Last year, with one of the least talented rosters in Panthers history, I thought we exceeded expectations. If we just show improvement from last season, I am not going to get caught up on the W/L record. Especially with a potential disaster brewing in our starting QB and OL. That can easily torpedo a season even if we are a better overall team. Show improvement from 2020 and I am good.

This is in the realm of "questioning the coaches" but I am not yet convinced that Brown and BC aren't better than the guys in front of them.

I wiped my ass on my neighbors door handle all through COVID.

After week 1, I don't know that the draft situation is settled. Howell and Rattler looked a little rough.

I have no issue with this. Let him show he is worthy/unworthy. Glad to see the young bucks get an honest shot.

I don't disagree with most of your points but don't equate this to being communist. Democratically elected governments, local, state or national have a duty to protect their citizens when they feel it necessary. If the preponderance of them disagree, that is what voting booths are for.

I am in the significant minority but I don't want to go back to mask mandates or anything else. The people that are still unvaccinated made their choice. The data shows that vaccination is a smart choice and will likely keep you from being seriously ill. If the minority of the population doesn't get on board......fug 'em. I did the right thing for over a year and I followed all the guidance. I will just be as selfish as the anti-mask squad and the anti-vaxx squad. Good luck with your Herman Cain Award nominations. Edit: I will say that I continue to respect every business that posts on their establishment to wear a mask. I don't view it any differently than a "shoes and shirt" or "no weapons" sign. I have the freedom to go there or not. I follow their rules if I choose to enter.

Daley is gonna return punts???

I really don't know what to expect, to be completely honest. First time I can say that in a Week 1.

That would suck a lot. Erving and Elflein have extensive injury histories, so I am gonna guess we won't have to wait that long to see the young guys.

I think you are thinking of heroin.
