I can’t tell you what our offensive identity is to be honest. The same issue with our last two coaches, we don’t do anything right despite all the investments we have made to the offensive side of the ball.

Steve’s starting to treat Charlotte like he treated his wife

Smith was a great player in the NFL but his opinions can be very hit or miss. It’s hard to defend XL’s numbers especially when our other first round pick is getting heavier coverage which should free him up. Effort shows on film and you can’t deny that he has had lackluster blocking, route running, and most importantly RESULTS.

Fug this team. We can’t even make it through two games every year before you know the season is over.

Rhule, Frank, Dave…. Do any of them seem like coaches who can be a hard ass and fire the team up? It’s a lot more important than you think. Same with the QB role

He’s back at practice and looks like he has a chance to play week 1. Looks like this was not as bad as originally projected

You can’t tell me Moore and Tremayne are better playing WR than Renfrow

From chatGPT: Bottom Line While exact recovery will depend on Scourton’s individual condition and the Panthers’ medical evaluations, a week-to-week status typically aligns with a 2–4 week absence in an NFL setting. Summary: Mild cases: 1–2 weeks Moderate (common in contact sports): ~3–4 weeks Severe (rib fractures, complications): potentially 6–8 weeks or more I’d lean toward expecting Scourton to be out approximately 2–4 weeks, assuming no complications arise.

You old heads need to get tik tok. I saw plenty of coverage there

This likely will not happen. We have Jewell with a decent cap hit, they like Wallace and want to see if he can be a starter for us, and just signed Rozeboom who was very solid for the Rams last season. Does not make a lot of sense to waste cap with three guys already penciled in as starters/depth.

I just took out a second mortgaged on my house to bet on this. Guaranteed to hit.

Incoming former un drafted free agent that has been on 9 teams over the last two seasons.

Only losers think about draft picks. I’ll gladly take a end of the 1st round draft pick to see this team do things.

“I got a sense then they wanted me out of the building,” Clowney said. “I was just like, ‘Y’all could’ve told me this back when I was coming in here during the offseason.’ I kind of had a sense, though. I’ve been around the game long enough to know, so I was OK.” I wonder why he got a sense they wanted him out of the building…..it’s because of his sh*tty attitude. Go back and listen to him talking about our QBs leadership skills (to the media) when he was just signed to the team and hadn’t even had time to gel with his teammates (all players know you don’t say things like that to the media….you keep it in the locker room). History repeats itself. He’s a player who is decent, gets signed to a team, they get tired of his attitude, and he’s on to another team one year later

https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/browns-maven-features/jadeveon-clowney-remains-unapologetically-selfish He has a long history of this attitude which is why he has been playing on one year deals for so long. Teams get tired of his attitude and the team moral being brought down outweighs his talent. There is a reason why teams let him go even though he is a solid performing vet

He took a pay cut already

Locker room chemistry 100%. Same reason why we let Johnson go. Someone times the players attitude can bring the team down more than the talent they have.

He ain’t coming back. His attitude seems to be a problem, and one of the reasons why he has been operating on one year deals for so many teams.

You have a point but he’s been performing better as the seasons progress, and has had a lot against him as far as surrounding talent and growing into the league. You want to see overall performance pointing up, and he definitely is after last season. Left tackles don’t grow on trees, and he’s one of the better ones in the league and just now only 24 years old. Some rookies from this draft are the same age him and he’s going into year 4.

And before any of you scrubs suggest that we shouldn’t re sign him…..you are wrong. Don’t forget we have had a revolving door since Gross. Icky is 24 and this will be the first year he has had the same head coach for a second year.

The Panthers have picked up the fifth-year option on left tackle Ikem Ekwonu’s contract. He is expected to get a long-term deal, something the Panthers did for defensive lineman Derrick Brown and cornerback Jaycee Horn in the same situation. The only question is: When? “I have no timeline, honestly,” Ekwonu said Thursday, via Kassidy Hill of the team website. “I’ll let my agent and Dan and everybody kind of figure that out for themselves. “But I mean, obviously, all parties know, all parties involved know I want to be here in Carolina long term. Hopefully, we can get that done. I’m definitely grateful and excited for this option.” The Panthers used the sixth overall pick in 2022 on Ekwonu, who has started 49 of a possible 51 games in his career after missing two games with an ankle injury in 2024. Ekwonu does not turn 25 until the end of October. Ekwonu was born in Charlotte and went to North Carolina State, so he is home and wants to keep it that way. “I want to be here,” Ekwonu said. “I want to be part of the glory days in Carolina, and I feel like we’re right there on the precipice of it.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lt-ikem-ekwonu-wants-to-remain-in-carolina-long-term-but-has-no-timeline-for-an-extension

Everyone wants to know what happened to Hunter Renfrow. He went from the Pro Bowl in 2021 to an afterthought in 2022 and 2023 to out of the league in 2024. Renfrow ow is attempting a comeback with the Panthers. “It’s just trying to get back, trying to get healthy, trying to do something I love,” Renfrow told Darin Gantt of the team website when asked about a year out of the game. “I enjoyed other parts of life. We had our second daughter, so enjoying that and just wanting to make sure if I’m going to come back and give my time and attention to something that I was going to be all in on it.” Renfrow, 29, revealed that he has dealt with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, which left him with weight loss, fatigue and high fever. It’s a reason he did not play last season. Instead, Renfrow spent a year consulting with doctors and getting the condition under control. “It kicked my butt pretty good,” Renfrow said. “Last year, I fluctuated in weight. I went down to 150 pounds. I had like seven straight days of 103-degree fevers. It’s tough to play when you’re not feeling great.” He now weighs 187 with a goal of a playing weight of 185. “It’s a weird feeling. It makes you grateful for the times that you do feel good,” Renfrow said. “It makes you grateful for the opportunities that you’ve had, and when you feel like you’ve been blessed with some skill to go out there and perform, it makes you not want to waste the opportunity that you have. And that was one of the reasons why I wanted to come back and play.” In five seasons, Renfrow has 269 receptions for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/hunter-renfrow-a-health-challenge-led-to-time-away-from-football

I hope he shows out. If he’s healthy (the reason I believe he took the time). He can be our second vet guy who can contribute. We will definitely keep 6 Wr this year. XL, Tmac, Adam T, Coker, Renfrow, and Horn JR (contributing on special teams returning) is a good upgrade and solid WR group top to bottom as long as the young guys pan out
