Absolutely. It looks even worse to know keeping Miles Bridges around with his heavy baggage was a significant factor in the trade. This is a franchise that has had either average mediocre or laughably poor center play for the better part of 2 decades now with Al Jefferson being one of the few bright spots. It'd be nice to potentially have a 1-2 punch under rookie contracts and clearly we could use some more physicality around the rim. But missteps like this are why Mitch wore out his welcome with the Lakers and why he will end things the same way here.

I'm big on Mark Williams. But trading Duren for a few dimes and nickels to draft the likes of Bryce McGowens when we could have both is some Scott Fitterer bullshit.

Obviously PJ Walker is not a starting caliber QB. But when you draft a guy #1 and trade a player and future picks you should expect that guy to be head and shoulders above the likes of PJ Walker. Like in another league better. Let's hope Bryce has a good game Sunday. We need something positive to discuss.

Bryce Young actually has the lowest QBR in the league unfortunately.

Bryce Young has a lower YPA than PJ Walker. I don't like it but that's what it is right now. Bryce can make a great deal of progress this weekend. I hope he does.

I totally get supporting your guy but idk why people are still dying on this hill about Stroud having low football IQ like he's a numbskull running a basic one read offense. Like you can cope without living a total lie. The kid is clearly talented. Hopefully Bryce has the better day this weekend like he should as the #1 pick but you cannot deny CJ his due so far he's answered the call and then some.

I get the rationale but it depends on how we lose. Best case scenario is we look much improved with Brown calling plays even if we go down swinging. If it's more of the same and things go really badly I'd ask all involved to leave the stadium and never come back.

I don't doubt he wants his very good friend to play well and thinks highly of him. Privately though I have to imagine Stroud and his family are taking some level of comfort in the fact the Panthers have been a complete mess and he avoided that. He should be highly motivated entering this game. We should as well. We better not lay another egg. We need Bryce Young looking like a #1 pick.

Well let's be real that was a magic beans kind of sell anyways. Scott Fitterer continually thinks he's one the smartest GM's in the league when he's one of the worst specifically because of instances like this. Mingo has plenty of potential but he was never going to replace Moore immediately.

Love to see the recognition of his life. Now if the Panthers can honor his memory this weekend at home.

It's @Ivory Panther

Really impressive effort and game from Williams and Miller. And just like that the Hornets already have more wins than David Tepper's Panthers.

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.
