There will rarely, if ever, be a draft with only 5 “blue chippers”. And the odds that they go 1-5 is even more unlikely. Football is a team sport and culture means winning. The Packers, Steelers, Vikings, Ravens, etc rarely draft high but have elite culture and identity and cultivate/train elite talent. Bengals hit the lottery with Burrow and then Chase (and Higgins) yet their culture sucks…and it’s a matter of time before those elites want a change of scenery. Winning and culture comes first and is the ONLY thing. You don’t tank to succeed in the NFL.

Don’t give up on MKG, his jump shot is still developing. And supposedly Noah Vonleh looked great this off-season…keep the faith Hornet Nation.

Elliot in the Morning is slaughtering them on DC101 right now.

My minimum requirement is *make me want to at least watch the entire game* They weren’t doing that for a long time. Today was at least watchable and fun. We shoulda won, the future looks reasonable now.

Graham Gano likely just got Brian Dabol fired.

I just want that dude to lose $3.1 million and never be able to look at the Panthers logo again.

Exactly. No need to try to win the game there, just get 3 yds and a 1st down. Bad call.

Willing to bet $3mil on that prediction?

Imagine losing $3.1 million betting against the Panthers on one game.

James Bradberry

The Panthers are a bad team that needs an experienced, talented backup QB to challenge Bryce Young. And potentially start over him. Our fanbase also needs some fun for once. Jameis Winston does more for Carolina’s future than Andy Dalton.

Here’s the article

He needs to compete. That’s why he got better, he got benched. He’s never been benched in his life and it was a shock to him. It’s been handed to him. Bring someone legit in and make him honestly earn it. It’ll make him better if nothing else. And the team.

I want Bryce and Jameis (or similar, Hendon Hooker, Dalton, rookie, etc) competing in preseason for the starting gig. Nothing given, gotta earn it for Bryce. He needs competition, he’s never really had that in his young life. Compete, get benched, get back up, be better.

Nevermind LOL Jameis being Jameis. But it’s still an intriguing comparison of different careers for a #1 overall.

Who you got? Both #1 overall disappointments, both some upside and downside. Salary doesn’t seem to be a big differentiator. Straight-up, who’d you rather have as your QB1 right now?

Yeah, umm, you know, uh obviously you know, umm just win you know umm yeah.

Before the game, FOX had a funny parody where the Chiefs sit at “the losers table” because they just lost a game. The Jaguars, Giants, Raiders, Jets, and Cowboys were at the Losers Table. The Carolina Panthers were not. Winners baby.

Chiefs have a TON of Bandwagon fans nation-wide. They’re the new Patriots.

Shutout baby!

FOX just did a funny skit with the Chiefs pretending to sit at “The Losers Table”. Jaguars, Giants, Raiders, Bears, Cowboys, Jets. Panthers weren’t represented. We’ve made it guys.

CJ Stroud, the 2nd best QB in the 2023 draft.

I very much regret googling RayGun, thanks for that waste of my life. The Vikings celebration was hilarious though.

Yeah I know now after looking it up. Vikings Camryn Bynum apparently has some elaborate celebrations on TikTok, including a reenactment of “The Parent Trap”. I think it’s hilarious. Love it.
