I am rooting for the Panthers to draft C.J. Stroud. If this happens I will rush to purchase a Stroud Jersey. Here's hoping the Panthers select him and I don't get disappointed. However, I will still be happy if the Panthers draft Bryce Young, who could turn out great.

Plus, one of the knocks on Bryce Young is that his arm strength is modest by NFL standards and that he would be in the bottom half of starters in that area. Youngs physical strength is questioned as well, making Pro Scouts say he would have to strain to make throws in tough conditions.

I think that was a very bad deal.....

I didn't think so either!!!

Bad break for them!!

It should be obvious that if Bryce Youngs height wasn't a concern and a real issue, we wouldn't be discussing it right now.

That is some wheeling and dealing.

According to the chart the average height for an NFL QB is not quite 6' 3". C.J Stroud being at least 6' 3" , maybe a shade over should satisfy his height factor, if that is an issue.

I selected other. I have lived in Gastonia N.C. the past 14 years after moving from Charlotte N.C, the city I lived and worked in most of my life. I really like Gastonia because it is like a hub to all the small towns that encircle it, making it feel like you have gone back in time.

Uniform combinations - Away, white jersey with pants that match the new helmet color choice. Home, also depends on helmet choice, if a black helmet is chosen I’d like black jersey and blue pants to change up the all black that could be used for special games. If blue helmet I think black jersey and pants would look ok. Alternate, can mix in blue jersey with home and away.

I don't think the Panthers were really very interested in Carr or they would have taken a more aggressive approach toward him. Regardless, I think the Panthers played it the smarter way by trading up to # 1 in the draft to get a younger, less expensive QB to build the future of the franchise with.

Actually, I think the 1 year deal worked out the best for the Panthers. If C.J. Chark is injury prone this year, they will not have to sign him and get draft compensation. If he has a good year they can start trying to resign him earlier.

Sounds about right. LOL

I highly doubt that there would be ties where Tepper became involved because the draft is a group decision between the GM, owner, president, and coach. Which is fine…Each person does play a role in the decision, the GM and coach in every sport should be in close communications, so the GM can understand the coach’s and team’s needs, while the coach can understand who is available ,so that they can make moves to get them and the salary cap status and available budget, etc. On a good team like the Panthers, as owner, Tepper doesn’t need a say outside of the fact that it’s his money. I feel he a good enough owner to have delegated all of these responsibilities to a professional GM. In the end, I think the Panther's are like most teams where the GM and coach work together with the scouting department (which is typically run by the GM) to select players that are a combination of the best available and niche filling for the team.

I read an article that stated, with football rosters averaging about 45 players, and the price of a stock football team uniform costing between $80 and $120 per player, the cost to outfit an entire football team with stock home and away team uniforms would be between $7,200 – $10,800 per team. Not sue how accurate that is because I thought the price would be higher.

The low 9-8 The high 11-6 So I will predict 10-7.

Eddy Piñeiro (CHARLOTTE SPORTS LIVE) — The Panthers are retaining Eddy Piñeiro as their kicker after cutting Zane Gonzalez Thursday, CSL reports. Piñeiro will be on a two-year deal. K Eddy Pineiro is returning to the Panthers on a 2-year deal, per source. He was one of the best in NFL last year.

Ville Koivunen is young and has talent. Here's wishing him all the luck in the world.

Pro scouts are saying this years 2023 TE NFL Draft Class is the best this year since 2019 and as many as 5 picks could go in the first 2 rds..

Lindy's Sports Pro Football has him number 41 out of the whole top 100 in the draft. Right about where the Panthers will be picking at # 39 in the 2nd rd..

I really like TE Bill Musgrave Oregan state 6-6 250 4.56 40 Prospect Summary Luke Musgrave NFL Draft Scouting Report TE, Oregon State Beavers Tight end Luke Musgrave was a consensus three-star recruit and top-five-rated player in the state of Oregon. He spent time in high school at the defensive end and wide receiver positions in addition to tight end. Musgrave was a multi-sport athlete. Along with football, he participated in, lacrosse, ski racing, and track. This provides context to the plus athleticism that Musgrave possesses. NFL football runs through Musgrave’s bloodline. His uncle, Bill Musgrave, is the current offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos. Also, he played quarterback in the NFL from 1991-1998 for multiple teams. Musgrave brings a big, athletic option in the passing game to an offense. Musgrave is alignment-fluid and versatile. If your offense wants to place him in-line as a traditional Y-tight end or split him into the slot, he can operate both well. As a pass-catcher, Musgrave has secure and reliable hands. He tracks the ball well and attacks it at the highest point. He is an adequate route-runner. He is at his best threatening vertically up the seams or across the field on benders (over route). If unimpeded, Musgrave’s speed can become a problem for linebackers. In the run game, he is a competitive blocker that gives maximum effort. Musgrave is more of a wall-off and seal blocker than a displacer. He does a good job using the defender’s momentum against them to cut them off from the ball carrier. As a result, he sells blocks well on TE leak or delay calls, allowing him to sneak past second and even third-level defenders downfield. Musgrave is a tremendous athlete and should test well this draft season. I do not see an overly explosive player on the field. He gallops and needs free releases to hit that top gear. When faced with physical coverage and resistance, Musgrave struggled to create separation on his routes. He does not play through contact well enough during his route stems. He can be impeded and slowed down if defenders can get their hands on him early in routes. His average play strength shows up in blocking sequences. Musgrave is not a uber-physical blocker—do not expect him to displace defenders. Also, he attempts to engage blocks with high hips and pad level. This limits his overall effectiveness as a man or gap scheme run blocker. Although Musgrave is versatile to align inline or detached, I believe his best reps come when he is in-line. As an NFL tight end, I envision Musgrave as a TE2 early in his career with the potential to develop into a starter. His value in the red zone is enticing. He can operate out of 12-personnel packages with two tight ends that can either use the pass or run game to move the football. Musgrave can stand to improve his play strength and defeat physical coverage quicker since time in the NFL is shorter for quarterbacks.

Bingo!!! I loved Olsen and Shockey when they paired up back in the day. Now that was a duo for the ages. However, it is often hard to find one really good TE, must less two.

So it would seem.

If you ordered a Burger and Beer, Tepper would probably join you and order the same.
