After reading through all of their bios, Will McClay and Alex Halaby are my 1A/1B choices right now for GM. They may seem completely opposite ends of the spectrum with McClay being the old school talent evaluator and Halaby being the new school, Harvard educated, data driven analysis, but each GM brings a proven system that has shown to work in the NFL. More importantly, it appears neither franchise wants to lose their contributions, which speaks volumes.

There is absolutely NO reason to be tacking void years onto contracts at the moment. We have plenty of cap space to navigate and our team is obviously not going to be a contender in the next 2 years. Why would we cap strap ourselves in the future when the team may actually have an opportunity to compete. We should be front loading new contracts right now, and aiming for putting together a competitive team in 2 to 3 years, not the opposite. Trade away players that are aging, and less likely to contribute to our future.

Honestly, this probably fueled his anger throughout the confrontation. The interception probably pushed him over the top.

Didn't this man just admit he had a poor year because he was playing scared? I sure as crap don't want someone like that on my team or in my locker room. Not a leader at all. Sir Puss can pack his things. Sadly, I am pretty sure other teams will feel this way as well. He is doing nothing but hurting his possible future contract and/or trade value at this point.

Honestly, this team is a blank slate for a GM. Unlike other teams in the league that have players under very long contracts, the Panthers currently only have 7 players under contract for 3 years or longer currently. We also currently do not have a ton of dead money going into next season. We are not in a bad position salary cap wise.

Brian Burns new nickname. Sir Puss.

Had a blast at the game! Even the Packers fans I talked to in the stadium feel the refs screwed us, which is saying something.

In Charlotte visiting my wife's family. Got surprised with tickets to the game this morning as a Christmas present. I'm excited. Any idea where I should park/tailgate?

Yes there is. He no longer counts towards Compensatory Picks now that we released him.

We all know 2024 is going to be another lost year, why not embrace it. Brian Burns should be tagged and traded. Some team is going to value his name over production and pay with draft picks. Secondly, I approach free agency with the goal in mind to gain as many compensation picks as possible. I am not bringing in any FA's that are going to affect our compensatory picks. In the draft, I focus on two things, trading back to accumulate draft picks for this year and next, and rebuilding the trenches. O-line, and D-line will be priority 1 and 2. Since 2024 is a wash anyways, we need to evaluate young talent. Bring in the UDFA's and see if we can't find some late rounders with talent. Go into 2025 draft with 12+ picks and an early 1st rounder. Draft our next attempt at QB and building around him moving forward.

If you hire a GM who runs a private scouting firm...... The plot thickens.

I have the Prescott/Lamb stack for my fantasy team. Just hoping the starters are not pulled by halftime

Heading to Chicago for this game. Any recommendations for a a sign?

This is an absolute double whammy for ruining this team. Not only are we continuing to overpay for subpar talent like Sanders and Hurst, but we are also screwing ourselves out of possible compensatory picks in the process.

OMFG NO. STOP IT. If this 0-6 team trades away anything for a player prior to the trade deadline, Fitterer needs to be fired immediately. We will have plenty of cap space to make moves in the off-season. It's like going to Vegas and gambling away all your spending money. Pulling from the kids college fund isn't going to turn your luck around. It will only dig a deeper hole. Hold tight, enjoy your prepaid shows. There will be other vacations.

Hell yes. Give me some more of those injury prone players. Should work out just fine.

What good would bringing a WR in this year do for the team. If a team is trading away a player, they are likely at the end of their contract. This year is over. Giving away anything to try and earn a win or two in a wasted year is exactly what has gotten this franchise in trouble in the first place.

We should try and get our 1st back from Chicago.

Tepper really needs to be sitting down and addressing some of the personnel decisions this team has made over the past 3 years. Fitterer and the scouting department should be on notice.

Call me crazy, but I will take an owner who actually cares about winning football games. Tepper is learning as he goes, but he is involved, not afraid to pay top dollar for coaches. Does he have his faults. sure. It could be worse IMO. We could have an owner who didn't really give a crap. IDK just spit balling here.

I am typically not a fan of thread bumps, but this one is gold. This is also a pretty fun read:

I got so much hate when I suggested that we overpaid for Sanders on this forum. It was obvious to everyone not wearing their homer glasses.

Colts fans were saying his, "Run, Run, Pass, Punt" play calling philosophy was losing them games as it was painfully predictable even with their O-Line and RB. I hate to say it but they were right. I could not count the number of drives that were Run, Run/Run-Screen, Pass/Run-Screen, Punt.

Hate that I can't share these videos with anyone due to the language

It's called schadenfreude, and it is delicious, try some!
