We didn't get to keep #9, this year's #1 and to avoid 2025's first rounder they wanted DJ Moore--who is a former first rounder. Not to mention last year's second. The trade was horrible then and utterly atrocious now.

Reciepts: Many more, but this should suffice.

Really, 3 first round picks? Stroud is having a really good season, but the League will have tape on him next year so ther's no guarantee he continues on the same trajectory. You don't make that trade unless an Andrew Luck is sitting there. None, I repeat NONE of the QBs in this past class were considered sure things/generational types. Yes, the trade was 100% HORRIBLE!

WE did not. I hated the trade up to #1 and didn't like the Bryce Young pick. Call me Mrs. Cleo because I saw this train wreck occurring. Not that I take joy in saying I told y'all so, it's more of a relief that I did jump on the badwagon that was on a collision course with a sewage treatment plant.

Yeeeees Mr. Tepper, whatever you say Mr. Tepper.

It wouldn't shock me. *fingers crossed*

I'm a few inches taller and weigh about the same as Bryce. I'd panic too if a couple 320 pound DTs were about to land on top me. The kid has heart, you have to give him that, BUT that will not get you very far in the NFL if that's your best trait. This isn't "Rudy."

Panthers swag was already sparse in SC, but now? Lol, you wouldn't think the NFL had a footprint here. I see more Falcons stuff around here than Panthers. It's not like Atlanta has been anything lately, but at least they aren't the NFL doormat. Also, the Panthers radio affiliate in the upstate is Rock 101.1. The DJ plugs game day broadcast has now affectionately started dubbing the team the Charlotte Panthers. Totally intentional.

It all boils down to this--the NFL is a League of physicality and physical specimens...Bryce is neither. I really shouldn't be any more complicated than that.

Yup, I've been saying this for weeks. Will Tepper? No way. He loves him some Bryce Young.

Like Matt Rhule? No thanks. Harbaugh has leveraged himself into the ideal position at Michigan. He's just got to give up any NFL aspirations. I can't think of a coach right now that I would want to have complete control.

It can always get worse, especially when the leader of the organization is clueless in his capacity.

Lost to a JAG (pun intended) backup and our offense looked lost without Eddie Pineiro bailing them out.

Huddlers a couple of years ago...'Derrick Brown is straight up trash!!!!' 'This is why you don't draft a DT in the top 10!!!' 'His 3-cone shuttle time at the combine sucked!!!' 'Brown is lazy, out there collecting checks!!!' I'm sure there are many more.

I will, thanks.

FIFY.

If only our team had that kind of emotion.

FIFY.

Eddie Pineiro will be the team MVP if we win 5 games.

No it's not. The main difference is Ickey has the tools, Bryce doesn't. Ickey didn't get drafted based on the S2 test. Also, I said I'll give it another year. After next season if he plays this bad, he may well be a bust.

Man, if I could go back and pull receipts on all the people that wanted to kick Derrick Brown to the curb after a hideous soph.omore campaign. The second year slump is real and Ickey has some darn good excuses given this dumpster fire organization otherwise known as the Charlotte Panthers. <--- Intentional.

Because of last season. One good year, one bad. Recency bias is a real thing. He's on a rookie deal. It would be a very Panther thing to do to flush a young, cheap LT because he's having a bad season on a historically bad team.

Part of the problem....MAJOR part of the problem.

How do you "hide" a LT? Again, I'm am going to wait. Not strong? He's very strong, but I'll give you he's not a dancing bear. Here's another reason for pause, one of the most respected OL coaches in the League is presiding over a train wreck. Did Campen forget how to coach an OL? Bozeman has looked bad this year too and while Moton is still good, is not quite up to his par level of play.
