If we draft a TE - I want a TE that caught more than 45 balls over 3 years.. 7 in 2020 10 in 2021 28 in 2022 Dalton Kincaid caught 70 in 2022 Michael Meyer caught 67 in 2022 Sam Laporta caught 58 in 2022

Washington reminds me of Ian Thomas.. a huge monster of a man but there is no way he can run the route tree Olsen could run and the necessary shifty/speed to create separation from NFL CBs and LBs.. Musgrave or Kincaid are guys I think we can get with one of our 2nd rounders or even LaPorta or Latu in the 3rd..

Based on the coaches we are bringing in and how quickly that info is coming out - that bodes well for Wilks.. these seem to just be "box checking" interviews

Short story and then to the point.. I knew we were going to lose to the Bucs by Sunday morning because I was so amped up Friday night that I started gathering clips and music for a new highlight video i'm putting together.. I never do that - I usually wait til the end of the season - so I apologize for fuggin us over this past Sunday.. it was my fault gents, jk jk.. But that does kinda lead me to the point in the title -> cus the obvious, main reason we lost the game Sunday was our secondary.. plain and simple We were all upset to see what happened and a few of us were screaming for coaches to put Josh in there.. we know at the very least he will give max effort in tackling and always being right there if it's caught.. watching CJ and Taylor get beat like a drum with NO heart made me think a simple thought - "They aren't Panthers." You know, I mean.. the Panthers you remember.... the ones that bring a smirk to your face when u tell your friends/kids/fam about them and how they played in small games or the biggest of them all.. the TDs, Lukes, Beason, Mint, Gamble, Chris Harris, (sh*t even the Kraken), Morgan, Spoon, and of course - Sam MF'n Mills.. it's all in the Keep Pounding mantra.. that's what it means to be a Panther.. especially a Panther defender I know there's more players I cud name but i was rambling.. anyways, THEY gave it their all and I then thought of D.Jax.. and you know what - Yeah, he's has had his rough patches (under Rhule) but I could see him out there this past Sunday rallying guys on the sideline and stepping up and playing with attitude.. Horn has his own moxie for sure, but Donte 'Action' Jackson is different.. he gets the people going, lol.. and the thought made me smirk.. it made me smirk the same way I do when I think about the Real Panthers.. I'm not saying D.Jax is in the same place as those named ^^above, but I am saying I really hope he recovers from his achilles.. I know those injuries are rough to come back from - but D.Jax is a guy I would love to see make it back.. he is a guy I know got the heart in him to make it back because I've seen him play with that same heart.. I know this is a long write up.. my bad.. just got a glimmer of hope and felt I needed to share.. it's been a rough, weird year.. ya'll be good now in 2023

Not sure how the Draft Value Charts work.. how much would it cost to move up from #9 to #2? Would our 2nd rounder do the job?

I hope and pray we get Ken Dorsey as our HC and he retains Wilks for DC.. 99.999% chance that Doesn't happen - but I can hope..

Right now there are some glaring holes on our Roster. You can rank them how you'd like but I think we are all in Agreement our Top 5-6 needs are as follows: 1- QB, a franchise leader for next 10 years 2- DE, pass rusher opposite Burns 3- TE, route running pass catcher 4- MLB, leader and organizer 5- WR, depending on how TMJ progresses 6- DT, gap filling run stopper --------------------------------------------- Obviously, you would like to draft people in all those slots and have them on rookie contracts for the next few years - but some picks will be misses and some position just might not have the best player fall to us in the draft and we will need to look for FAs to fill the holes. What position would you be alright with bringing in someone with NFL experience? Free Agent QBs: (Orange = Key players I like) Lamar, Brady, Baker, Darnold, Jimmy G., Danny Dimes, Geno Free Agent DEs: Ngakoue, Ebukam, DeMarcus Walker, Dre'Mont Jones, Zack Allen Free Agent TEs: Evan Engram, Dalton Shultz, Hayden Hurst, Austin Hooper, Mike Gesicki Free Agent MLBs: Lavonte David, Tremaine Edmunds, Denzel Perryman, Kwon Alexander Free Agent WRs: Parris Campbell, JuJu Smith-Shuster, Allen Lazard, Jakobi Meyers, Darius Slayton Free Agent DTs: Da'Ron Payne, Sheldon Rankins, Greg Gaines, Javon Hargrave, Shy Tuttle

that was all i asked for at the beginning of the season.. i shud be happy.. shud..

miss this thread.. Thanks for bringing it back

So in this scenario - we make the playoffs and are drafting no higher than #18 and will be missing out on the Top 4 QBs - Bryce, CJ Stroud, Will Levis and Anthony Richardson.. What would you do?

All we need to do is beat Tampa.. we can still afford to drop the Lions game as long at we beat Tampa.. and they look terrible right now.. LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Kingpin? You a Pen King" -JID

Odell Beckham option? lol

"So look, we don't even have to win out if we just beat Tampa in Week 16.."

So I just watched a highlight vid of our 15-1 season and thought about - What if we had Burns in his current form on that squad in the SB50? Would he be enough to flip the result? And I thought our D would be ruthless with him but idk if he wins us the game. What player can you pick off any Panthers squad and he wins us the game? 2005 Smitty? Still idk.. Obviously dropping Moton, Wharton or Gross on the right side might do it.. but I just thought about what 1 player might flip that game. And would it be the same for 2003? A Right Guard would prolly do it for 2015, but what does the job for '03? Maybe Kuechly in his prime? Burns playing the other side with Pep? Anyways - I just thought it was a good 2-beers-in conversation, lmao..

2022 NFL Playoff Machine - Simulate Matchups and Scenarios - ESPN Waste some of your employers' time on your first day back to work in the Playoff Machine.. IF we get average QB play like we did yesterday (gulp), and the defense keeps ballin - I honestly think we can win out.. but doubt it Also we don't need to - we MUST win the 2 division games and also the 2 home games against PIT & DET -BYE- @SEA PIT DET @TB @NO There are multiple scenarios where we can lose to SEA and still make the playoffs.. it will all likely come down to the last 2 weeks where everyone in our division plays each other twice.. we probably will come up short and ATL or TB makes it in by a game and we lose out on a Top QB in the draft.. but at least my Preseason wish of meaningful football in December will be granted.. Happy Holidays!!

I don't think he is a scumbag but yeah.. i agree He seemed to be a great kid when we drafted him and had a good head on his shoulders.. this seemed so outta left field that I want to hear the entire story but understand - i know he F-ed up 100%.. but I think he can be a redemption story if given the 2nd chance.. I think we should give it to him.. PS - it was smart of him (his team) to wait until Kyrie goes apeshit to finally plead 'no contest'.. the media aint giving it nearly the nat'l amount of coverage.. local is all over it but the country prolly hasn't heard a peep

hip bruise - he'll be aight

I'm not on board for trading CMC.. he deserves to play for something I think i hate the Panthers more than the Saints/Falcons/Bucs right now..

so obviously they are delaying delaying delaying.. but what is the point? does his team think delaying will allow them more time to gather evidence that exonerates him? or more time will sway public opinion and peeps will forget? or are they trying to settle out of court and delaying the process so both sides can keep talking? I am not a lawyer or involved with the legal system at all - does anyone on here know how this sh*t goes? ::looks around at all the blank expression on huddlers faces:: aight, ima head out..

^^thin blue line.. Brett Favre fan.. Cam hater just guessing
