The Panthers aren't a poo show...since those can be somewhat entertaining.

If this deal happens, it shows two things...the Panthers realized they screwed up by giving Robby that kind of deal and two, they are wising up. Both would be very positive signs.

So when is this happening? This would be the first positive news regarding the Panthers in a while.

Actually as a day 3 guy, they might not only make this putrid roster, but actually get some playing time. On a legit NFL squad, they would be just camp bodies and eventually cut. Day 1 or day 2 guys, yeah I agree, they should wish to get drafted to about any other place than here.

Should be gone in the 2nd or 3rd round at latest. Not a day 3 guy. That said, we have no shot at him because we have no day 2 picks. My favorite draft site has Smith as OT #6 behind Raimann. Raimann is projected as a 1/2 selection.

I have a few: Jereth Sterns, WR (WKU), Reed Blankenship, S (MTSU) Cole Turner, TE (UN) and Cole Kelly, QB (SLU)

All good selections. Borghi is a poor man's CMC. If we are dumb enough to let Abdullah walk in FA, a RB will need to be drafted. I'm still not sold on Hubbard as the main guy if CMC is out long term or traded. Granted, he did get better as the season went on, but a legit #1 RB...I don't see it. D'Marco is fine, but LB is definitely a need and with the few sims I've done, I have consistently drafted one. OL is a no-brainer. WR, If we take one...very late. We have WAY too many other needs for a flier type of guy at one of best positions on the roster.

Yep, Ickey's stock keeps going up while Neal's stays flat. If he shows out a the Combine, he'll be blocking for Trevor Lawrence in the fall.

People make mistakes, but this is the kind of stuff your let mediocre guys test FA over. Not reward them with a nice, spanking new contract...one they weren't deserving of even without the rap sheet.

Fug it, I'm down. It would be the smartest move Rhule has made in 3 years....even if he does reach for OT #4 or C #1.

This circus couldn't get more clown-worthy even the if elephants shot the human cannonball out of it's @ss.

If Icky shows out on position and athleticism drills, dude may go #1 to the Jags. Ekwonu has been nipping at Neal's heels for a while now; a solid combine may have him leapfrog Evan.

It's about to get long term if Tepper doesn't block Rhule from making some really bad choices in an attempt save his own butt. Ian Thomas' new deal is exhibit #1. If Rhule tries the, 'I have full control over the roster' power move, his @ss should be canned immediately.

Everyone sees the writing on the wall, all but Tepper of course.

I'm racking my brain as whether Rhule is really this freaking incompetent or is he actively trying to sabotage this team. Dude may be double dipping. Tepper is paying $70 million to be the HC and someone else is paying him $$$$ to make completely dumbass decisions. Arthur Blank, perhaps?

LS, pffft...we already drafted him? We are sending 5 scouts to watch STs so we can draft our next holder!

Man, that's an oxymoron if I've ever read one. Brain trust should NEVER be associated with the Panthers management at the moment.

I was thinking the same thing. All it boils down how much this fan base HATES the decisions Rhule makes. So yeah, this is basically 18 pages of Rhule 'makes piss-poor decisions bitch-fest' and Ian Thomas is just the conversation piece.

Is Rhule really this incompetent or is he covertly trying to sabotage this team? On one hand I can't see how a dude being around football as long as he has being this brain-dead, so it has to be sabotage.

Yep, it seems to be Rhule's M.O.

It was that last Richardson holdover that has caused Tepper and Rhule to fail so miserably, obviously.

I'm really about to tune out until Rhule is fired. Ian Thomas S-U-C-K-S!!!!! I've been wanting him cut the past TWO years...and here we are throwing money at him like he's something special. As each day passes under Rhule, the shittier this team gets.

Rumors are Carson Wentz is on the outs with the Colts. Either a trade will be made OR if no trade can be made, cut outright. He's better than Mitch.

I stopped reading as soon as traded back and took Willis.
