I am thankful we are at a place as a fan base to say hell no to this. Hell no.

Yeah, but see, I am on that next level of Panthers delusion. They are liking us now because everything has changed. We've changed. We have a new and competent staff, and we are no longer gutter dwellings. We have ascended! We are now perpetually "in" the conversation. We are to be taken seriously. Actually, this team is probably too good for ME now. I am too used to being garbage.

I remember you buying them Pats jerseys. Pepperidge farm don't forget. Welcome back you fairweather Johnson, sit a spell. Since we talkin' Koolaid, I just made some old school Purplesaurus Rex. Who remembers that?!?

Haha, thank you sir. Both for the story and the compliment. It is probably kinda like an unwritten rule. Neither side wants to find out.

I have no problem with placing the risk with the player. Should be his choice to make though. He's a life long country boy, he should know what he is getting himself into. None of us want to see him get injured. I am surprised we haven't heard more about Russell Wilson and his helicoptering, but maybe he has chilled out since Kobe's tragic incident. I probably wouldn't hear about it anyway, as I just stick to Panthers stuff.

Good to hear. I have lost faith in a lot of things lately as bad as things have gotten and deemed it a plausible thing. I am interested in what the supposed penalty would be for a prohibited activity. They are banned from betting, but I know that is not relevant to this conversation.

I am cool with it creating outs, but not outright banning an individual from doing something.

I know my opinion/stance doesn't matter, but just to be clear, I would be cool if it were like... If you do this and get hurt, it invalidates your contract. Versus you are banned from doing this activity being not cool. Make the player assume the risk for their behavior and danger level.

Doesn't make it right. And as you put it, you wanted to ban him from being country, which is essentially policing who he is as a person lol I get protecting the "asset", but banning people from living their life is crazy. Russell Wilson likes to play helicopter pilot. I would deem that WAY more dangerous. Those things scare me. I still wouldn't want to keep him from doing it if I were his boss. I would just try not to think about it, haha.

I don't agree with this mentality. I understand the fear of injury situation, but you can't control people's lives like that. You are only worked up because you are seeing it. I imagine countless other athletes are doing risky stuff. This wasn't even that bad. He has a lot to risk too. It's not like he is out there TRYING to get injured and ruin his career. Calm down.

I mean...he still stick in'ahe

I'm a simple man. I see a KotH reference and I pie. My favorite show ever. Terrified of the re-boot ruining things.

Stuff like this is just fun. No brainer for Tepp. That dude can't cost that much to come out, and it generates some fun content, with a bit of stress relief for the players.

Hey, Tepper has disappeared himself recently, which I appreciate. Credit where it is due.

I think it is more than what he showed last year. We have built intelligently around him and given him every chance to succeed. The o-line is no longer a complaint here. Actually in the strength column. Chuba is a competent running back. If you look at Dowdle's average per carry last year, they are on paper a dangerous duo. We also added a promising rookie from a football family to the mix. Legette had a rough first year, but a lot was asked of him. We added arguably the best receiver in the draft to the room. Renfrow is here and looks to be back to his old self after the health concerns. Thielen said for the first time, he honestly doesn't know who is going to make the roster. Coker out played XL last year. Where is the glaring weakness now on offense?
