SOJA

great fuging question Joe! That is not sarcasm.

Strange concept but if you've followed this team for longer than this press conference you'd know that this organization has been coddling Sam from the jump.

Right now Malik Willis is the only guy I'm high on. I bet one of these other guys will pan out but they all seem to have weakness. Have not watched Corrales admittedly

I'm a UNC fan but man it would be AWESOME if we drafted a guy who is from Charlotte and then went to college in NC and he became a stud at LT, would be such a great story. Rooting for this kid no matter what honestly

We *should* win this game at home. But the Vikings absolutely can beat us, and quite frankly I expect them to if we play like we did against the Eagles. All I know is the next four games are winnable: Minn-ATL-NYG-NE and we need all of them because in the last 4/8 we see TB x 2, ARI, and BUF which very well could be 0-4, maybe 1-3

We don't have a bunch of draft picks to throw at the Texans for Watson lol

It is insane how much Rhule protects Sam

I have a bad feeling about every game

Holy fuging poo the mad man did it

He's still one of the best CBs in the NFL (when healthy) Is he healthy? Who knows. I can't see CAR being a legit contender unless we offer him a huge deal (which is risky and doesn't play into us trying to maintain cap flexibility) or he really wants to be back in the Carolinas. I can see us offering him a one year loaded deal. The problem is if he wants to do a one year deal why not sign with the Bucs (whose secondary is now complete trash) or the Chiefs and be on an instant contender? I'd love to have Gilmore mentor Jaycee though.

Our offensive line so far has been serviceable when I expected them to be far below average

I love Baldy

this is a trap game if I've ever seen one Thursday night/short week (check) away game (check) Houston team who no one believes in but has been competitive their first two games (check) Starting a rookie QB who we don't have much film on (check) The panthers should win this game, that being said we have really left off the gas peddle in both our first two games. If we show up and do that for four quarters in Houston I could totally see Houston winning a low scoring slugfest and us all standing there scratching our nuts

well what we absolutely can't do is go there and show up like we've played the last two second halves. This game should be a win but HOU has been far more competitive this year than anyone expected.

fumble at the goal line is a metaphor for most panthers games

why the fug would tepper do this? Such a terrible decision

I mean those are pretty reasonable takes. I'm far less optimistic about chances against the Saints...Jameis looked great and Payton is probably the best coach in the league. They are also talented and established. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a blowout. Hoping for the best, but the Panthers can not play like they did last week with wasted opportunities if they expect to compete in this game

this is so reminiscent of the dude who was starting above Andrew Norwell until he got hurt Meanwhile Rivera was stubbornly playing the vet

Can not believe we punted from the 33

Think I'm ready to fire off this hot take: Matt Rhule is not a good in game coach

Linebacker maybe I don't see Oline happening unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that there are more teams than their are good offensive lineman

Odds aren't that good on bovada, believe its 35-1. However I did sprinkle a little on him being the sacks leader, him being defensive MVP, and here's a juicy one that likely won't hit TMJ offensive rookie of the year at 88-1. Yes I realize one of those QBs is probably winning it but 88 is too perfect

Man I love me some Machi Becton. Really wish we had taken him instead of DB last year. Hope he gets well soon

I'm 100% buying the nerf ghally and blasting my wife into oblivion when she gets home from work

Love this I would honestly not be upset if 2 out of first three picks in the draft are spent on offensive lineman
