  1. On one hand the Panthers track record of success the last several years says keep churning. On the other hand one man has been mainly behind those decisions. This is the year we need to begin to turn things around. No more blaming anyone that has walked out the door. It all begins and ends with the current folks in charge. Also if anyone of them are reading this. End the training camp shenanigans and engage your fans more this go around. Read the room.
  2. He's been a great teammate and overall a great locker room presence. As far as his career it just has not panned out the way we had hoped in comparison to other notable Panthers linebackers. Some people don't like him but most in proper perspective like Shaq Thompson. As far as the money that was all unnecessary. But it was Thompson himself who took to Twitter to go on the attack toward anyone including Panthers fans who were suggesting he take a paycut. That just wasn't a good look on his part not in a time where so many financial burdens have been facing average Americans not making millions of dollars annually. But he realized that was not the path forward and corrected course. It's over and done with and most people are happy he's staying.
  3. Many of our elected legislators sit on Twitter all hours of the day and evening wasting keystrokes on nonsense and blocking their constituents. The current american political process overall is joke status. It's ridiculous to put the onus on average citizens to make sure billionaires are not treating American government dollars like their own personal piggy bank. If you want to carry water for billionaires it is within your rights but just own it if that's what you're going to do.
  4. Where are these Will Levis fanboys coming from?
  5. Brian Burns will soon be one of the league's highest paid defenders. And we've paid our new DC who was highly sought after handsomely to oversee the group. That doesn't really sound like an afterthought. I do think the pendulum is swinging more balanced as this team has heavily leaned into a defensive identity over many years. But let's be blunt. What do we have to show for it? Change is not a bad thing. We'll have to see how this approach looks big picture in a year or two.
  6. Flip side is if we accept the Rams offer does Evero want to coach here while we rebuild our pass rush from scratch when he can take an offer from another team that isn't lacking at least one really good pass rusher? I hear you completely but there's no such thing as a truly fair price in this current version of the NFL for either of the two most sought after positions (QB and DE). We just have to hope we get lucky enough to time it right to have both without sinking our cap.
  7. Reddick is now regarded as the best solution to our problems but at the time when he was still here many people complained about his run defense. There is merit to some of the criticisms of Burns but this whole discussion has reached a point where some folks just clearly want him gone and want to see what our pass rush looks like. And if they got their wish they would bitch about it endlessly when we're getting carved up with little to no pressure. Our new DC Evero also might have opted to take his chances elsewhere had we decided to blow up our pass rush. You guys can't have it both ways.
  8. Spending a Saturday steady HATIN'. That's dedication.
  9. He wants a Super Bowl contender I can't blame him.
  10. Mingo is going to be tough to bring down look at those tree trunks cot damn.
  11. I wouldn't say that. Immediately after he shares the clip and his thoughts he summarizes it with the disclaimer that it's practice and Young needs some more time creating chemistry with the group and that we know he can and had made those throws. It's a bummer but clearly some folks here who wanted another QB are quietly rooting against him. I don't see the point of even following the team under that mentality but they're gonna do what they're gonna do.
  12. So he had two underthrows and one overthrow. You don't want to see that but it sounds like chemistry also has a role. So what's the verdict guys should we give him training camp or should we start shopping him now?
  13. Cowherd was once a fully committed Sam Darnold believer too. I'd rather just not give his input any legitimacy good or bad. Keep that juju away.
  14. I think you're being really silly about this. Dalton is here to assist in the transition as a veteran presence for a first year rookie and another young QB who may as well developmentally be in his rookie season too considering all he missed after that early injury in preseason. What Andy Dalton is not here to do is start for any meaningful amount of time. In his last start he failed to outduel Sam Darnold for a win in a game where Sam finished with one of the bottom 10 passer ratings of all time. He has zero future here playing meaningful snaps. If we can get anything out of Matt Corral even in a backup role this is the coaching staff to do that and there is no reason to waste opportunities on Dalton over him. This really shouldn't be debatable.
  15. The height jokes are definitely played out but they'll go away for the most part when Bryce is playing well which we all hope for. Well..most of us.
  16. This is a good change. But it should have happened awhile ago. It's funny and revealing of the league offices motives it took one of the more popular teams in the league being taken to the woodshed in the NFC championship for it to happen. I'll say it again. Fug the 49ers.
  17. The DJ Moore hate makes me laugh. I definitely like the chances for TMJ and Mingo taking the next step and being good for us. But I also would not be surprised if Moore is quite successful with his new team and has a nice career considering he's only 25. I also am taking note of the fact some of the same folks hating on Moore are avid McCaffrey homers still. I see ya'll.
  18. I don't understand the need for all this anger and mud slinging over this. The best thing that could happen is Corral ends up being a quality backup for us.
  19. His playing days were before my time but I remember him in movies growing up like The Running Man I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and Mars Attacks. Legends live on in memories. RIP.
  20. What else is he supposed to say? That said I hope the Niners are poo. I'll be thrilled if they do well for a bit only to lose in similar fashion in the biggest game of their season again. Those bandwagon fans deserve the worst.
  21. Simms is wrong as much as he is right at best no different than any of these other "analysts". Honestly if he loves your QB that should give you pause.
