I liked Ish Smith here so that's a welcome sight. I can't totally give up on my home team. But the Bridges situation is impossible to ignore. All I can do is hope the Hornets get their act together.

Are they offering the winning powerball numbers too?

I highly doubt that. He's a good kid. Just obviously can't shake the injury bug. Sadly still Fitterer’s best draft pick to date. But it's slim pickings.

If the local media is going to ask that they might as well take the gloves off and ask about David and Nicole's involvement in the process.

We should have made a run at him but that ship has long sailed now. Only thing left from here is to hope the oline can give Bryce Young some breathing room. Gotta work with what we've got. Make it happen.

The vibes are familiar that person has definitely been here before on a different account. If I had to guess I'd say Ivory Panther. Very similar.

If our #1 pick can't outperform either of these two yeah it's going to be a rough night on the huddle.

No doubt I don't question his or anyone else's loyalty here in that aspect. We've done fug all for the last 5 years since that Pittsburgh game. Anyone here still repping and talking Panthers is a die hard. But Cam was also the only MVP in franchise history and displayed clear traits both physically and as a leader that even if he frustrated you at times still made you say that kid is special. We'll see what shakes out with Bryce Young under Thomas Brown.

For a rookie he's been quite solid. Also exudes leadership for his locker room. But he makes a huge difference in that offense. He's 4th in yard per pass attempts 4th in yards per game and has the 10th best passer rating. Legitimately if you're trying to poke holes in his game while propping up Bryce Young you have no credibility.

That one hits hard. Congratulations to him. I'm very thankful for those memories.

I mean I would welcome this. But the unfortunate reality is other teams aren't as stupid as the Panthers to trade away their best WR in his prime with no fallback plan whatsoever.

Juan threads are back Elon Musk is a douchecanoe.

In the end he's another version of Rivera. Word was he wanted to make Holcomb his DC which to say the least was not popular. Does that remind you of Rivera and Eric Washington? Just raise the bar from here folks. We already canned Ron. We've seen what it's like with Rhule Wilks as the interim and now Reich. We need to bring in a younger coach. Just one who has obviously coached at this level and not some used car salesman from college.

At this point Wilks has reached mythical levels for some. I don't get it but to each his own. He's a good man. Decent coach. But the legend and attachment that has been created from our underwhelming finish last season to the point people are going on the attack is not healthy for anyone.

This is reasonable. Honestly I would have taken Flores before Wilks his teams at least had some success.

Well for however anyone may feel about Ellis and his takes on the team at least he is humble enough to address concerns and own up to any misconceptions. That's commendable. These are difficult times. Yet again. There should be fair tough questions asked of ownership front office coaching and players. It's good to try to spread things evenly though. Much is said of the defense and Burns which has been lacking. But the offense has got to start holding up their end of the bargain. We need a good showing at home against the Texans. However if it's more of the same ineptitude then everyone on down to the water boy deserves a good tongue lashing. Hopefully they rise to the occasion.

Well some folks on the huddle did tell me Darnold would look good in San Fran I don't know what Purdy will be long term but I do think the narrative around him reached obnoxious levels and was fed by the league because of where he was drafted so it's good to see that bubble finally burst. And it was a beautiful sight seeing Shanahan look dejected on the sidelines. With how weak the NFC is they will probably bounce back though.

Well in fairness Wilks didn't throw two very ugly 4th quarter interceptions.

And the Purdy hype machine goes up in flames...

Reading this thread I didn't expect Brock Purdy to have a higher YPC than McCaffrey.

People want something to confirm or deny their bias and especially so in football. We played that game over Newton for years. That's when you also rely on what you are seeing with your own eyes. I mean Dalton is basically a jag and expendable at this stage in his career. That game we played against him and the Saints to close the season was one of the ugliest I've ever seen. Just horrendous football. When we signed him I audibly groaned. I thought for sure in a place like Seattle he would have looked shaky at best. But he hung in there and delivered some strikes. Same oline same weapons. And we didn’t get shut out of the scoreboard for three whole quarters. All I ask from the #1 pick is give me something worth watching that we can build on. Then we can begin to get back to more productive conversations and stop feeding on one another.

Well if it's such a terrible state there sure are a hell of a lot of people moving here.
