We get it you made it your mission to defend Teddy Bridgewater then Sam Darnold too. That's your choice. But it was very painfully obvious leadership was lacking big time when Sam was the starter. He simply could not lead when things got remotely challenging. Can Baker? We'll see. But so far just stuff like this is night and day. Sam is a nice friendly guy but he simply does not have the disposition necessary to be a hard nosed franchise QB in a league full of elite talent.

It's related information during a slow time period before training camp officially starts. There are worse threads going right now.

You just described most of current social media including yourself. Trolling is one thing but he talks to himself on Twitter I don't think it's just an act. He probably needs some real help.

Well even if you get your wish the East side would just look like other parts of Charlotte that are over developed with new expensive housing and condos that are priced out for many of the people who already live in the area. Charlotte isnt the city it used to be and simple greed is the reason.

I very much enjoyed Eastland in the 90's. Great memories there. If you want a discussion about the city and how the surrounding area has been neglected over the years I'll listen and we likely won't disagree one iota about who is to blame for that. But this thread is about the Carolina Panthers owner and so far as a local business man failure is all he is known for. Jerry Richardon was raked over the coals frequently over the years for different reasons and usually rightfully so. If criticism of billionaires bothers some people so much they should take it to Twitter with the rest of the folks who worship the ultra wealthy daily.

Bayless is a buffoon who shouldn't be paid a nickel for the idiocy he spouts on a daily basis. They need to retire that dinosaur.

You'll never make sense of it. These are the same kind of people who fan girl over guys like Elon Musk.

He isn't going back until August 20th so we get another whole month of embarrassing silence from our local professional basketball team

Took less than 5 minutes for Tepper's personal shoe shine crew to waltz in here and make excuses. Always good for a laugh.

With their continued "no comment" responses it certainly looks that way. I hope the Panthers can get their act together this fall because the pro basketball team isn't one worth watching if beating the hell out of your wife and kid isn't an issue worth taking an official stance on from the get go.

Just awful. The silence from the team is a bad look no matter how you might want to look at this with teal or purple shades. They should have already cut ties officially.

He's already weighed in as expected.

Glad Shaq spoke out against this. That's the kind of leadership we need. Waiting for the inevitable thread where we rehash the grass vs turf arguments for another 20 pages.

Catsfan69 is really triggered about these black helmets.

Not worried about Baker's arm or his football IQ. Prepared to see him have some turnovers. But where he is night and day from last years QB is he isn't a milquetoast bore. He will at least bring some fire to the offense.

It's been rough as a Panthers fan but this is awesome and we have waited many moons for black helmets. Glad they used common sense and made the fans happy.

Some folks in this thread are coping to the extreme. Ohh wee Mayne.

The funny thing is homers like him will usually slink away when the losses pile up while the rest of us keep showing up to talk Panthers.

Who is forcing you to show up here?

Oh I do. Even some of our players who actually did good things here have gotten crapped on. But we are literally talking about the worst starting QB in the NFL. I'm not advocating trading picks just to dump him. But this is a professional team without back to back winning seasons in over 25 years. People complained about Richardson's family football atmosphere and paying and keeping players just for the sake of doing so because they are nice guys. This isn't that anymore. If a football team with 1 winning season in the last 11 years said enough is enough get this guy out of the building I think as Panthers fans we can stop this "you guys are just big meanies" narrative around people just wanting to move on now and get it over with.

There is no need to insult fish or potatoes like this.
