SOJA

I totally agree but I don't think the NBA will ever abandon it. They are so worried about tanking

yea i actually don't hate that pick, last years draft sucked

You can't even watch a fuging hornets game in charlotte without having some special app, it's insane Ok i'm done

my idea to fix the NBA lottery is to have three team brackets so the three worst teams are bracketed in the top three picks. Worst team with 50% odds, second worse 30% odds and third worse 20%. Then picks 4-6, 7-9, and 9-12 are the same. This would prevent these gigantic leaps teams are taking up the lottery to land generational stars when they had no business going there. The NFL doesn't fear this, why does the NBA- oh wait it's because they need the popular teams to stay good so the league stays relevant

i feel similar, it just feels like there is no way out of the basement for the hornets. we would have to get EXTREMELY lucky on a few picks which is hard to do when the NBA routinely screws you out of top talent

not the biggest canes fan but I've been watching them more this year, such a fun sport. I'm impressed with how Svetch is playing. (again I'm a noob when it comes to hockey)

how much of that is Kyle Shanahan though ? Don't get me wrong Purdy is not a bad QB, but to me he is pretty average

the scariest part of Bryce to me is what if he's good not great? Because that's how you end up with Tua contracts I wouldn't be surprised if very soon we see teams moving on from average QBs or letting them test free agency. Tepper has invested a ton in analytics I could see us doing it too. 9ers are different because this is Shannahans guy. But the dolphins i bet you are loathing having paid Tua too early.

I'm actually fairly bullish on him. He was pegged as a toolsy athlete who was all projection when we drafted him but I thought he did fairly well last year especially given the circumstances.

didn't read the thread before I posted but you nailed it

If Scourton stays at purdue he's a first round pick

good way to put it

I think Jalon Walker is a dawg, a fantastic college player and a good locker room leader. I'm not sure he has the physical abilities to be the 8th overall pick. Further tweeners scare me. It is well known that in the NFL not only do you have to be a good all around player but you need at least one elite skill/trait. What is Walkers beside his speed rush? So then you're taking a player like Princeley at 8 overall.

from a football perspective I think releasing him was the wrong move That being said Clowney has always seemed to have an attitude that rubs people the wrong way. I mean how many teams has he been on at this point? My bet is that the Panthers actually didn't want him mentoring the young guys and now we have space to sign a FS. do not kill me gamecocks fans this has nothing do with your fine university We'll see how that works out bc that edge room looks very very iffy

I can't remember a time in Panthers history where I agreed with more of the decisions they made than I do right now. This offseason has been perfect IMO Now before you go saying "WHAT ABOUT X? or Y?" you can't realistically fix every problem in one offseason. Dan did the best with what he had

DK trade looks better now for Pit in that they weren't re-signing pickens this offseason and now getting a third back soften the trading a second for DK. However DK's deal is still an albatross (so glad we didn't do that) Dallas is the one that makes no sense to me. Last year they should have gone all in, they didn't and now are basically dipping their toes in without fully committing. I'd be furious if I was a cowboys fan with how they've run the team the last two offseasons

oh Idc what the players wear, wear whatever is best for them but fans jerseys 100% can be made more durably than they are

the thing is even the Authentic jerseys are trash now, they are this weird stretchy fiber instead of a mesh jersey. Definitely more fragile than old jerseys again Nike/Fanatics is ruining jerseys

Quality of the "limited" versions of the jerseys has gone so far downhill from the cam/luke days. Fanatics is generally ruining jerseys across sports

My favorite time on the huddle was when Matt moores brother was on here arguing with all of us that cam could be terrible

The good news is if he sucks and we get a pick in a QB heavy draft our rookie will be set up for success bc I think we are putting a good team together

The bears did. We gave away the number one pick the next year. Bryce would have to be a top 3 QB for it to be balanced and while I'm excited for Bryce's future he will never be that

@Zodconfirming what we all knew that tepper is a miserable sack of poo thats terrible to work for doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings about this franchise. I think it's no coincidence bill voth quit a little while after tepper took over

Dude wanted ewers at 1.1 Don't worry we all remember the millions threads you made over the years about no longer being a Panthers fan so no need to respond

Lmaooooooo
