The guy who tries to tell others they aren't really Panthers fans doesn't think we can beat one of our most despised teams? Epic weak sauce

So basically what people were saying over a month ago while others buried their heads in the sand. This is becoming a Panthers tradition I guess.

Like you aren't one of us

Shaming rhetoric like this is why there is a stigma surrounding mental health in this country and why many people fail to get help.

Sounds like a bad environment in general over there I can only imagine what the locker room is like. If he can't thrive here it isn't going to happen. Rhule will coach him up.

Cam hasn't suited up for us in over two years guy get with the times. Your boy Ted choked here when it mattered. Accept it and embrace our new quarterback and quit whining about Ellis or anyone else telling it like it is

Well head on over there if he's so good.

Yeah well we were also 28th in redzone scoring percentage last year and won 5 games. We are currently 22nd and we could use some improvement there no doubt. All of that can be helped by better oline play so let's hope there is a plan.

Thomas still has a lot to prove tho I hope he does. Biggest concern now is the oline and protecting Sam. We're playing with fire if we think we're set there.

I'm a little concerned about te depth bc I mean let's be honest Ian Thomas. But I'm definitely happy about getting another young corner on a rookie contract.

The worst team for a rookie quarterback to debut is a toss up between the Bears and Jets. If you're piling on Fields after months of screaming Adam Gase's name you're a hypocrite.

Sam Darnold doesn't give division rivals hugs on their bench while his team is losing. The comparison begins and ends there. I hope the Ravens handle business bc since 2016 and forever more it will be fug the Broncos.

@mccjeff Any thoughts on Paradis so far?

Even if Hubbard stayed the center of our line opened a gap big enough to fit a truck through. This is just plain bad. We need to explore trade options for oline help.

Options are limited bring him in. It will allow us to direct our attention to this oline and protecting Sam.

20ish with a different look at the run game. Enough with the facepalm Shula like calls of running it up the middle. Get McCaffrey in space and let Royce get the tough yards. We even saw the capabilities of Tremble we have options just have to be creative instead of mind numbing predictability.

Washed up at 27 and we have the highest paid back at 25 who has struggled to stay on the field the last two seasons with a workload that on average would lead the league in touches. There might be a lesson to be learned somewhere in there.

This is the best thing going for him and us but the average shelf life for running backs who have had a ton of a carries has not been kind. See Todd Gurley who is only two years older than McCaffrey and can't even find a team. I'm not saying that's going to happen to Christian but there are cautionary tales to be seen and the Panthers have to use this moment to decide what future they want for CMC.

Credit where it's due Shaq has been great and it's what we all wanted to see. Hats off to him.

There is no need to get that invested in it. The Saints threw a whole social media campaign at the league over that PI call in the playoffs against the Vikings and the nfl didn't give a damn. We're just going to have to play better limit mistakes and not let the refs influence close games by sitting on a lead.

I have no doubts about Robby he will get more involved in the next several weeks we have some tough offenses we'll be facing. But this being a question is why the talk of spreading the ball around more and not giving one guy a ton of touches was so prevalent the first 2 games. Now people want to act like Robby forgot how to play football

There is an emotional connection in these McCaffrey discussions that hinders logic. You are not being at all unreasonable it makes sense. In fact if we pair that with a bruising type of rb in the backfield that would make our offense that more dynamic and potent. Even with CMC as talented as he is and at his usage rate we have had problems converting on short yardage downs. Last night we had to sandwich our quarterback in a pile just to get a yard for a score. We have a quality passing attack but we have to stop burying our heads in the sand over the run game. More creativity and less expectation of CMC being our whole offense is needed. Besides we saw the outcome of one playmaker shouldering the entire burden for years why are we so intent on repeating the same mistake? Gotta learn and adapt sooner or later.
