https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401810149 Hornets steal an OT win against the Raptors. 35 points for Miles Bridges 20 points for Kon Knueppel including the game tying 3 to send it to overtime and 18 points for Colin Sexton.

I understand where OP is coming from in general. Personally I don't have anything against Bryce the person. By all accounts he's a great guy. As an NFL QB and as the face of the franchise however I must acknowledge he is enough to make someone stop watching football altogether. If we had transitioned directly to him from Cam and Kyle Allen instead of Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold PJ Walker Baker Mayfield etc I would probably feel more apathy toward the situation but I've been through the ringer already so this is whatever. I will say as nice of a kid as he is his personality is unbelievably milquetoast and it's hard to ignore even when he plays well and wins it just feels like your QB is Steve Urkel and you're always left waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is what it is

It is a home game and the team seems to play better when the pressure is off so who knows which version of the Panthers we will get. But with key defensive players like Jaycee Horn out it's likely we will be down on the scoreboard early which does not bode well for our already underwhelming passing offense.

Quite a few people here were interested in Steichen. The Panthers held an interview with him over Zoom because he was still coaching in the playoffs at the time. The excuse from our org was that he didn't interview well. We even had Vrabel scheduled for an interview too. But Tepper was his usual impatient and impulsive self and rushed into hiring Reich and then became hyper focused on drafting "his guy" Bryce Young. Honestly it probably didn't matter who we hired it was always going to end badly because of the Tepper's.

Dalton isn't worth watching. Even the Panthers decision makers know it. That's why two years in a row they've trotted out the same lame excuse revolving around his thumb. Anything to keep him off the field. Dan Morgan signing him to that contract extension is downright criminal.

Brandon Miller is having himself a night. 25 minutes 25 points. Unfortunately the only reason we're winning is because the Bulls are shooting a dismal 20% from three. With better coaching and some roster changes this could be a competitive team.

I mean hiring Chip Kelly to do anything in the NFL in the year 2025 is just inviting catastrophe. I did not know Pete Carroll had both of his sons on staff though. That is some serious nepotism.

Actually $37.5m And he's been seen flipping off his own fans following their loss to the Browns. The guy is legitimately a POS.

The interview in question for anyone that might be interested. I still can't believe he thought that was a good time to do an interview like that. Wild lack of situational awareness from a #1 pick with so many questionable performances across 40 starts.

I'm preparing for the inevitability he is the starter next year. But no viable competition 4 years in a row would be next level disrespectful to the fanbase.

Pretty much.

I am not sympathizing with Jerry Richard I assure you. I do not look back on his time here with any illusions about the man he was.

I was sounding the alarm about Dalton earlier in the year when we signed him to an extension. He was horrendous against the Bears and the Commanders and was clearly done. Damn shame folks who were paid to see that couldn't or wouldn't for reasons. Anywho I agree the upcoming options for QB are not "ideal" but that's the hand we're dealt so we need to evaluate the options and choose the best ones that have the best upside. As far as the draft people have been saying "next year's QB class" for what seems like a long time now. You could be right you could be wrong. We just don't know. That should not however preclude us from shooting our shot. Identify the guy with the necessary measurables and arm talent that checks the most boxes select him and see what happens. That's all we can do.

The league did Jerry Richardson dirty. But Jerry Richardson played himself. He went out of his way at every opportunity to be as subservient to the shield as humanly possible even when the league went out of it's way to make it abundantly crystal clear that they did not want to see Cam Newton be the face of the league to the point they had the refs do their bidding. If Jerry had any backbone he would have taken the gloves off with the league after SB50. But he just took it on the chin.

We don't need "another Joe Burrow" just to field a competent passing attack. And BTW while you're busy slurping the Cowboys just remember that team and Dak lost to Bryce Young and the Panthers.
