It's a real nice change of pace to be on the better end of so many blowouts.

Puka is either legitimately insane or this woman is trying to sell a story.

It's a simple matter of do the positives outweigh the negatives. And such is the case when assessing any potential signing. Even if you can talk him down on his salary expectation it will still be a higher end deal compared to younger counterparts that don't have the potential very real diva baggage. And then there is the matter of keeping him healthy. In a perfect world you would like to have him for depth but on top of all the variables of such a signing we also have young receivers who need the targets and continued development. I chuckle every time people mock any vague skepticism of maxing out the salary cap for an unproven roster as if this franchise just began it's existence several years ago with the Tepper's. Too many people cocooned within the confines of social media have little understanding or concern for anything that isn't recent. The Panthers have been around the block before with these concepts. It's ok to be realistic with expectations.

He's probably going to be a stud. If we actually had a QB with physical tools I would be over the moon at the possibility of adding such a talent. But we need help on defense and Bryce Young can barely see down the middle of the field without hopping around.

Blew out the Grizzlies. Next up the Kings in Charlotte on Tuesday night.

Certainly we had a very solid free agency. There are things to like about Morgan. There are also things to be weary of. Beyond that I mean this isn't really that different from past iterations of the Panthers. In that I mean pushing ourselves up against the limits of the salary cap to maximize a team that could ultimately end up just being mid. And at the end of the day the only area of success that will matter in making this franchise a legitimate Super Bowl contender for now and the next few years will be if Dan Morgan can navigate multiple successful drafts. And not just in the early rounds either. He needs to find high end talent in the mid to late rounds too. That is what separates the pretenders from the contenders in the NFL. Until that comes to fruition nothing is going to truly change for the better regarding the trajectory of this franchise.

With that RAS score he's probably going to be a Panther.

Murray will be out of the league soon but at least he's actually spent time in the weight room.

Retired Dell's jersey and beating the brakes off the Magic. Feels good.

Dalton never should have been a Panther to begin with. When the reviled Saints discarded him that should have been a glaring sign for any competent franchise but nope. And we gave him two contracts. Not even Marty Hurney would have done that ffs. Even though Morgan is a former Panther and he's certainly a likeable guy it's quite awkward to try and reconcile his talk of wanting dawgs and also us having standards and expectations for every position except starting quarterback. The good thing is more people are starting to wake up and take notice. If our upcoming season goes down the drain due to the QB not being able to get it done then the FO deserves all the smoke.

It's the same old same old with that lot. The same people who bash Sam Howell also bashed Caleb Williams. But they'll still make excuses for their guy Bryce after 50+ career starts. Even now in year 4 there will still be people here and across the fanbase that will seek to reset the clock so to speak on Bryce between games. Just wildly hypocritical.

High cost low production and will be 31 at the end of the upcoming season. We should prioritize youth instead of chasing aging receivers.

I remember him being a solid RB some years back. But since Green Bay he had a very short lived stint with the Eagles last year and perusing some of the comments from Eagles fans the gist is even though he might be in "incredible shape" he got armed tackled by smaller linebackers and 2 yards and a cloud of a dust was the highlight more often than not. He also had a key fumble late against the Giants in a loss and that was his only carry in the entire game. Not good. This certainly is not the anything like the Dowdle signing.

We've seen Bryce Young personally audible into some truly terrible plays even as recent as last year so this notion that he is significantly better at reading defenses doesn't exist within the realm of reality from my POV. He has not had a great deal of freedom within the structure of the offense for good reason. I would say he is average in football IQ. He isn't awful. But in no way shape or form was he or is he generational or top pick worthy in that aspect as he was billed predraft. Overall he is at best in the 22-25 range amongst all starting QB's and that is being generous.

Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young and Sam had 477 pass attempts to Bryce's 478. Read that back to yourself a couple of times and then wave the white flag brother.
