Personally I would rather deep dive the whole WR class and see if we can get a solid talent at the position in another round. We have been falling into the same traps repeatedly with overvaluing certain prospects and what have we had to show for it? It's time to approach the draft more tactfully. That's our pathway to any level of sustained success.

Although he may certainly be talented. Unfortunately I think there will be a high probability of folks getting themselves fired down the line by not only drafting another WR in the first round but once again targeting the only one who has ties to the area for marketing purposes instead of seeking the best prospect. Can't do this after the Xavier Legette mess. Just can't run an NFL franchise with blinders on like this.

DL or OT. CB WR and S our FO should be able to add in the other rounds and if they can't we're doomed anyways. Also need a C.

LaMelo and Miles put in work. Great to see from the two veterans. We're definitely going to need a a repeat of that tomorrow night against the Celtics in Boston.

Bryce Young has started each of his first three seasons in the league playing like one of the worst QB's in Panthers history. And even with his progress last season he managed to get swept by the Saints with a rookie QB. Can't really sugarcoat all that. We don't need to see middling. We need to see high end production.

Got the Timberwolves in Minnesota tonight and they're coming off tough losses to the Sixers and the Pistons. We better come out swinging.

To rub salt in the wound when you look back to what were considered some of the most underwhelming resulting seasons in Panthers history before the Tepper's came along we still managed a top 20 passing offense with journeyman Matt Moore and the ghost of Jake Delhomme in 2009. And Steve Smith was 44th in the league in YAC so it was not a chunk play pass offense. Obviously the run game was dominant with Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Wiliams but comparatively the run game in 2009 only amassed 500 more rushing yards than the 2025 Panthers in a down year for Chuba Hubbard. It shows just how comically desperate we have become to adjust standards that actually used to mean something.

Unfortunately this is more wishful thinking than anything. The problem is the bar is so low for what they consider success for Bryce Young. I mean we have yet to field even a top 25 passing offense with Bryce Young heading into his fourth season and it's basically considered a when not if we begin contract extension talks with him.

Only Panthers fans think you have to draft a WR in the first or it's a bust guaranteed. Zero expectations for our talent evaluators to actually find gems later in the draft. What do these people actually do here? What do we pay them for?

Sion James is the leading scorer at halftime with 13 points.

Blowout is already in effect. It's crazy the Pacers were just in the Finals a year ago.

We went from the 30th passing offense in 2024 to the 26th passing offense in 2025 and backed into the playoffs going 4-6. I like Canales but we're a hell of a long way from rockstar status.

head_coach_dave_canales_explains_why_he_doesnt-81yn0giwjf7g1.mp4 Imagine your head coach saying this in a league where the tush push exists and then carrying water for it like we're actually playing 4D chess by limiting ourselves.

Hornets came back and blew out the Suns and the Lakers got drubbed by 40+. I got to say it was a good day.

Hornets showing some fight at home. That's how you end a first half.
