Bama Panther

Many thought Haslam would never get it in Cleveland. After a seven year stretch that rivals the Panthers since Tepper took over, Haslam seems to have things figured out. Haslam’s venture with the Columbus Crew has also paid off with two MLS Cups. For as bad as Haslam’s sports ownership started (and it was bad), he has seemingly turned it around. I hope the same for Tepper.

If this were the stance for hiring anyone into any position, there would never be new entries into that specific line of work.

There is nothing hindsight about “should have traded him to the Rams.” Many on this board were screaming that exact sentiment at the time.

Speaking of Brandon Beane, he left the Panthers for the Bills in 2017. The following showcases the ineptitude of the Panthers and the huge blunder they made in not canning Nippleshorts for Beane. Record by Season - Panthers: 2017: 11-5 2018: 7-9 2019: 5-11 2020: 5-11 2021: 5-12 2022: 7-10 2023: 2-15 Overall: 42-73 Record by Season - Bills: 2017: 9-7 2018: 6-10 2019: 10-6 2020: 13-3 2021: 11-6 2022: 13-3 2023: 11-6 Overall: 73-41 What a disaster!

Planning to make it to the WAS game and possibly the PHI game. Air Force is moving me to the DC area this summer, so I’m looking forward to taking my sons to their first Panthers game(s).

I get both of your points, but I’d argue many of the loudest here are gloating about the fact that they wanted Stroud yet the Panthers are floundering because they chose Stroud.

I get what you are saying there. What I don’t get is the gloating in which many fans take part because they wanted Stroud over Bryce. Your gloating is only possible because the Panthers made the wrong pick. Why would a fan want to gloat about that? That’s what I’m not understanding.

Based on the way some fans here talk about Bryce, it would be really hard to conclude that they want him to succeed here. As far as your zero-sum comment, it works both ways. Just because the Panthers passed on Stroud, it doesn’t mean they are “set back for a decade” or other such comments. Admittedly, Stroud should have absolutely been the pick. Bitching and moaning about the fact the Panthers passed on him and making snide comments about the guy who will, at least, be the Panthers’ QB for one more year accomplishes what exactly? That’s what I don’t get.

I have a question for the folks still touting Stroud (and yes, it is obvious that he should have been the pick). However, as a fan of the Panthers, why does it give you all joy/happiness/whatever to continually pump up a player on another team while degrading your team’s starting QB? It truly is like you all want Bryce to fail just so you can be “proven right” on who you wanted. The picks have been made. There is no changing what has been done. Is your being “proven right” for wanting Stroud worth more to you than the guy you don’t want, hopefully, turning the corner and figuring this thing out?

Awful clock management there by the Ravens. Wasted 40+ seconds by not kicking the field goal on 2nd or 3rd down. You need two scores, dependent upon a successful onside kick. Better to have 50 seconds to score a TD than 15. As I type this, Steelers recover the onside kick. The point remains on the timing though.

The article you linked very clearly states the Colts, not the NFL, suspended Tressel.

The interesting piece is that the ACC and PAC 12 were two conferences that voted against the 12 team playoff this year. If they had voted for it, PAC 12 would have had two teams in with the ACC at least having FSU in.

In this Top 4, head-to-head means absolutely nothing. If Georgia were better than Bama, they would have won the SECCG.

I totally understand what you are saying in regards to this Bama team not being anywhere near the Bama teams of the past decade-plus. However, they had one loss in the SEC and beat the team that has held the #1 ranking for the past two seasons. I think that places them directly in the conversation for the playoffs. On the other hand, I also feel FSU got robbed. If Travis were healthy, Bama would have been left out, and I would have been fine with that. Maybe Bama wasn’t the best option for a playoff spot, but they weren’t “undeserving” of that spot based on record, strength of schedule, conference title, and health of players.

“Undeserving”? Beat the #1 team in the SECCG. Only loss is to the #3 team. Just took the #1 seed to OT in the Rose Bowl Game, but was “undeserving”?

This TX-WA game is going to be a barn burner, I think.

Thanks, but I’m too old to let losses in football games affect me. I enjoy the ebb and flow of emotion during the game, but once it’s over (win or lose), my life goes on unaffected.

I’m not just talking Bryce though. Jalen Hurts, Tua, Mac Jones, Bryce…Bama fans trusted that they were going to make big plays when needed. It’s not the same feeling with Jalen Milroe.

If they had a QB who could make, and throw to, hot reads, they would have won. Milroe does not do that well at all.

I’m telling you, as a Bama fan, Milroe just doesn’t instill the confidence of heir recent QBs, and that’s because he is not a great passer. Take the deep ball away from him, and he has trouble. Michigan did that well today and won. On the other hand, Bama’s D was awful today when the game was on the line. How many times can you get beat by the crossing routes that leave a guy in the flats?

I truly hope Bama finds another QB. There is no way Milroe should have thrown the ball 23 times and rushed the ball 21 times (I know the sacks count), especially when McClellan was running for 6 yards a clip.

Terrible. I’m not sure it was supposed to be a QB run. I think Milroe just tried to do it. Edit: Okay. It was a designed QB run. Still an awful play call in that situation.

With Cam Ward declaring for the draft, I don’t know where that help will come from. However, they did just sign a 5 star QB in this class.
