Severely underpaid. What a guy. He deserved more.

No way, we cannot afford to lose a franchise staple in Ian Thomas. Make that guy a Panther lifer because he deserves to be in the ring of honor one day with #80 retired.

Bears looking eerily similar so far to the 2023 Panthers. I think we know why.

I think Evero’s contract runs out after this season? If true then I’m not sure if him getting hired away for a HC position will net us a third rounder at all. Unless, they secretly extend him this season. edit: found that he has one more year on his contract after this season. He can stay or most idealistic scenario would be like what has been said: he gets a HC gig, we net a third rounder, hire Saleh, Saleh gets hired away after 2 years, we net another third rounder. (then proceed to miss on each third rounder in the draft)

the first two games of the season really hampered their numbers, so I'd say the other rookies on the list have at least a 2 game lead lol. Coker didn't even play until week 5.

This is true. I think guys like TD, Luke, Jake, Gross, Trey Boston all have been positive and hopeful about Panther moves since they retired or left the team. They'll give their opinion about things but arent overly critical. Steve Smith has been critical but since becoming a media guy he's become more neutral, and since being part of the panthers media team (I think?) he's been more Pro-Panthers. Cam has been honest with his takes which I appreciate, and I think being PC in the media is something that won't suit him. Therefore, it makes sense why they'd prefer to not have him around media wise.

There's a lot to erase about the Panthers right now and historically, but Cam isn't one of those things to ever be erased.

reminded me of the kung fu sounds my brother and I would make while play(fighting) each other.

People unfortunately still do this today towards Cam.

Eh I don't need to compare Bryce to Caleb to make me feel better about Bryce. Bryce needs to play better to make me feel better about Bryce.

he's either not sold on Bryce, or he's just allowing Bryce to earn the job rather than being anointed QB1. Either way, Bryce has to earn it.

I don’t know what HIM means, but he’s made some progress. Micro-progress. I’ll give him that.

Culture is what we need to build, and I feel that's what we're doing with these close wins. Losing breeds loser mentality. We lose and get a higher draft pick, draft said coveted player, then insert him into a losing culture.

That was almost a reality, but we’ve seen when teams stopped the run to force Bryce to beat them with his arm. I will say that Bryce has shown tiny sparks of improvement. Probably not enough to warrant a long term title as QB1 and make the Panthers competitive at the QB position, but still waiting to be proven wrong.
