Marty Hurney wasn’t actually bad. He was decent. Fitterer was bad.

Dan Morgan is part of the brain trust that brought us the 2023 Carolina Panthers. The saddest roster in Panther history. Seems like we are content to Keep Sucking.

So, play outdated football from a different era like Wilks did with them to mask their issues? I mean, the big picture direction of a football team shouldn’t be focused on masking what an OL can’t do. We should get an OL that can pass protect. The league literally is slanted for teams to pass. The NFL is basically about finding a QB and going through him.

Caldwell survived the Panther Game of Thrones. Got to think he made Tepper happy to still be catching paychecks and new gigs. Tepper probably just buying a voice to echo him and his wife in the group discussion

I don’t get this Tepper narrative. Tepper has no problem scrapping a plan and going in a new direction. He has a thousand faults as an owner. That doesn’t seem to be one. His Panther history, FC history and just generally business from RH to Eastland to whatever. Tepper changes and moves on as quick as anyone in the NFL

Big dislike. same logic of why I wanted Fitterer fired with Rhule. Dan Morgan has been part of horrific player management the last several years. In an organization where it was reported Tepper had been weeding out non yes men types. And there he remained. I don’t care to imagine who owned what % of the all the many many bad player decisions we made….there have been too many for the “answer” to of been on the roster logic. loved the player. And he might be great. But the looking for the answer inside the mess we have been is a tough sell.

A guy is literally given a job/task….go out the and claim Bryce Young actually is more promising than CJ Stroud. He then does it. The entire ESPN model and elsewhere is just to stir drama and say things that generate views at this stage. What is said on those shows should never be mistaken as what the masses think Skip Bayless IMO really figured it out the best and it’s all been a rocketship downhill ever since

I've never seen anyone compare Josh Allen to Tom Brady. Or Peyton Manning. I have seen some suggest this era of fans have a Mahomes/Allen battle to enjoy year after year in the AFC now. Sometimes a Burrow thrown in there. Which is largely true. It's the best QBs of the era going to head to head on repeat. Prior era had Brady/Manning.

post rookie season playoffs every season averages 40.4 total TDs a season. I mean I don't watch ESPN, but the average for Josh Allen is a dream season for a Panther fan. Is ESPN saying he is Tom Brady? If not, I don't see how he is overrated. I think Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL. Then you got to start talking about guys like Josh Allen.

Josh Allen has made the playoffs every year of his career except this rookie season. Seems to be rated about right if you ask me. No one that I see here is worshipping Josh Allen.

you just seem to not like Josh Allen. Again, it's got a Cam energy to it. Cam Newton wasn't actually the problem of the Cam era. Rosters with gigantic holes all over it was. Was Cam flawed? Sure. But that never made him the problem in the Cam era. What is the problem for the Bills? I would say it's a conservative defensive HC holding them back in a conference with all the good QBs. Josh Allen has been to the post season 5 straight years. Bills got a pretty dang special guy behind C. They need someone to get them over the hump. Generally, it's coaching or QB play that stalls a team when they reach that level. My money is on the coach.

I think there is a reason why Meta, Google, Apple and everyone is sort of on this kick though. Think it's basically the baby stepping of wanting to combine machine/human. Hard to see too far down the road but I think they basically want everyone to have access to everything....without having to have a device in your hand.

I'm no longer in the we need legit competition camp. I don't want some old JAG QB coming in if we bench Bryce and leading us to 7 wins or something. I say we start Bryce and if he continues to stink.....we ride him to another top pick and part with him. If instead he develops and improves? Fantastic.

Oh, I don't disagree. Reid > McD and I don't think it's that close. Which roster would I rather have? Give me the Bills today vs KC today.

yeah, see what you did there. Your argument is essentially you acting like those that disagree with you....believe things they don't. Josh Allen isn't a perfect player. The Bills however do not have a QB issue. That isn't why they went home. Bills just needed to be healthy and they are in the AFCCG. But that's sports. You give them a healthy D and their #2 WR. They are beating KC last night.

dude signed a half billion dollar deal (450M). Now, granted, it really isn't that. But to act like Mahomes choosing to play for less for the good of the team just ain't something I am buying. Again, he is 25% of the cap next year. 1 dude. Did they keep Cheetah? Who wanted to stay there? Issue was money. They got a cast of JAG WRs and rookie contract talent outside of their TE. The O skill talent is basically Kelce and JAGs/rookies. Which is a big part of why KC has been so ugly this year. It's easily the weakest team they have had in a couple years.

I mean, he isn't the problem. No big picture. Like, at all. you are just doing a version of Cam Newton hate IMO. Cam doing everything and carrying the load and then hyper focusing on every play that doesn't play out ideal for him. I mean, which you can do with any player. You go back to games Tom Brady lost and start nitpicking plays that didn't work out and blame Brady as the reason they lost. Even on that final drive where the K missed a kick he just has to make....Diggs let that deep bomb go right through his hands on the first play of the drive.

I wasn't commenting on what I thought of him. Just was commenting on the implication he was taking friendly deals for the betterment of the team. He is 25% of the cap for KC next year. Mahomes isn't taking less to get better talent around. Not saying he should or shouldn't.

Hard to watch that game and think Josh Allen was the problem. A healthy Bills teams beats a healthy KC team. That's sports IMO. Sometimes the better team isn't going to get the W. I wish we were the Bills.

Mahomes ain't out there taking less money to build a better team. It's why the skill talent around him has gone backwards. I think he had the largest cap hit this year in the league. Next year he accounts for like 25% of the cap.

the win streak they went on did a lot to make people sort of forget all the McD drama that was starting to emerge. I mean, I think he gets a tad overrated around here. To me, he is largely just a Ron Rivera type coach. But paired w/ a better front office. I do think his coaching often can get in the way of a well built team in the modern NFL. but, it's easier to want to do better and get worse than him. Which is the double edged sword when you finally have a decent coach. Everyone wants a great one. And generally you find weak ones when you go hunting.

the Bills' dirt cheap RB finished #3 in yards from scrimmage. last night showed a kicker needs to make kicks. and WRs need to catch balls. and being healthy on D would have helped. Blow it up? Why would you blow up something that works.

Fluke games happen where a team just doesn’t show up and has bad days. We could play the Packers 5 times. They are winning 4 out of those 5. We got lucky. Texans just had an off day. Happens in sports. The collective season tells us that. It’s why it so hard to go winless. Eventually you will see a team that just gives you one. It in our case, 2.
