Captroop

I like it. He's definitely on the regression side of his career, but still a quality pass rusher with plenty of juice left. I'd try to lock him up on a reasonable 3-year contract so we still have him once we have a complete team, and we may be able to make a run at the playoffs with him. Absolutely no reason to pick him up on a 1-year rental when everyone knows we're not making waves for the next year or two.

Sigh. And just like that, I officially have no current Panthers jerseys. More depressingly, I really don't know whose I'd want to buy right now.

This all day. A strong offensive line is something we've desperately needed for a decade, and it's something that will benefit any QB. Cam, Bridgewater, Darnold, Baker, Bryce, they have all looked horrible because our offensive line has been warmed over dog poo since the Gross/Kalil days. Give your QB, ANY QB an opportunity to be successful. And whether it's Bryce, or a much better, taller, sturdier QB in the future (hypothetically) this will not be a wasted investment.

Captroop and Sydney Sweeney!!! There has been some talk, mainly by Captroop himself, about Sydney Sweeney being a total smokeshow. This has led some to make dubious connections between the Huddle's cat poop, and arguably the most marketable actress in Hollywood at the moment. Sources say that Captroop has never actually talked to Sydney Sweeney, has no ability to do so, is married, and his wife is vehemently against the idea of polyamory. So yeah. Pretty much no connection or anything worth reporting. Carry on.

I'll stop short of making that comparison but he looks as quick sideline to sideline. And he does that thing that I remember watching Luke do in the Ravens preseason game when I knew we had something special: he just disappears into the scrum and then somehow just pops out the other side like a David Copperfield magic trick going at full speed for a TFL. I'm on the record as wanting a MLB at the top of the 2nd. This is my guy now!

But we got Long Snapper absolutely locked up!

Damn. Good signing by the Commies. And Rivera's not even there any more to grab up our cast-offs.

It's kinda like getting fired. It sucks but then you think, "you know, I don't need to request any vacation days."

Mind blown emoji. Real fountainhead of information.

Lol! You damn near made me spit out my antifreeze!

F

I've got a perfect solution. How about we include in the package a QB who is worth not one, but TWO first round picks?

Great signing! Not to get all wistful, but I wish we'd made a splash signing on a stud O-Lineman in Cam's career. But better late than never. The inside line is the foundation of an offense, so I'm all in favor of us making a huge move here.

That was the line, but I really, really hope it's not true. I'm just excited to have a YOUNG, offensive minded head coach who offers a fresh take and new perspective. I've already made up my mind on Bryce. I wonder how long it will take the team to do likewise. But at this point, I've already got my eye on 2025. This is a year to move pawns and try to set us up for the future.

Fully support this move.

Okay, if the Teppers' handlers are reading this, please take note: No one, and I repeat for emphasis, NO ONE wakes up in the morning and thinks, "You know who I really want to hear from today? The owner of the Carolina Panthers." Please tell Tepper and his wife to vanish into the background. We already dislike David Tepper, and Mrs. Tepper is not going to work as the more palatable public image of the Tepper enterprise. More facetime with the public is not going to repair things, and just fuels the narrative that they are too involved. Let the players, coaches, and front office people talk to the fans, and let the Teppers contentedly count their money, and stay out of the spotlight until it's time for them to hold up a Lombardi trophy. Then we the fans will be willing re-evaluate our opinions of them.

Damn he took it down. Guess that means a lawsuit is incoming. The coaches' came back looking for a bag, so he had to pull down the self-uploaded deposition.

Their money still green? Then Tepper don't care.

That's what I see in that footage. Looks like his preference is to catch with his body, especially on deep balls. He catches with his hands across the middle. But if he's going to be unwilling to go up and aggressively pull a ball out of the air, he's going to struggle as an outside WR in the NFL. CBs would have broken up several of those catches before they would even get to him. 5th round or later.

I'll second this. But a lot of that has to do with watching the DC Defenders, who I sincerely think could have beaten the 2023 Panthers. But related to Corral, I think the UFL ideal for players like Corral. Never really got the opportunity to prove themselves, no tape, ended up in a bad situation on a bad team. If Corral puts on a decent show in the UFL it might get him invited back to an NFL training camp. I'll never say that someone who failed to shine as a Panther in the Rhule/Fitterer regime is a provably bust.

MLB, OL, WR, in that order. We've been sorely in need of a defensive field general since we lost Luke. And we're not in contention for any of the top OL prospects. So, I'd say look for late round studs at OL, and pick the best WR or ILB available at the top of round 2. Our new GM is a former MLB and is all about making people afraid to come to Carolina. Looking across the LOS at a stud who can read your mind, already knows what your playcall is, and is foaming at the mouth to rip your head off is a great starting point.

Seeing this god damn creepy uncanny valley Temu commercial like nine times this game is giving me mobile game flashbacks.

I think her monitor wasn't working. Couldn't hear herself over the music and couldn't tell if she was on key.

I can't tell exactly what it is, but there is something about the press conference that just gives me the warm fuzzies about Dave. It's the expected amount of naive optimism one should project at an introductory press conference, but none of the snake oil. None of the platitudes. I, for some bizarre reason, feel good about this regime. Also, Joe Person is a tool. Stand up when you're asking a question, prick.

How could anyone look at our offensive line the past 2 years and think we needed a change? Just baffling.
