Depends on what happens with Sam. Winning cures all as they say.

The scrambling ability is a big plus. But if he's running at all like that for the Panthers with a 64 million dollar rb in the backfield that probably means our season is toast.

Some people act like they are paid by the team to be an official mouthpiece for the front office. We are having continued on and off discussions about the new strict photography and general media policy of the team but some folks actually believe the Panthers will show the whole world their unaltered draft board. It's amusing.

If Deshaun Watson and Justin Fields are the top 2 most referenced names here for 2021 Adam Gase has to be a close 3rd. He's like Beetlejuice. Can we officially shoo him away for good when Sam throws his first official pass of preseason?

I recall similar reasonings about the state of the offensive line this time of year in the past as well. Now is the best time to paint a rosey picture of the situation. It's really all about the depth. But some of our depth have injury history and some are already banged up. It surprises me how little is mentioned of the length of the season now in the context of the health and longevity of our oline. That is what could change a manageable situation into catastrophe.

I really like Devonte and wish him well. But I'm relieved we aren't paying him 47 million to throw up bricks like he was last season. Time will tell with these rooks but hopefully the summer league will shape them up.

Wilson was above Fields for the same reasons Darnold was head and shoulders above Josh Allen. Many of the draft talking heads know as much as any random huddler.

His career is unwritten and you can't call him a bust yet but we're now a long ways away from mushy draft night clips with high fives and sentimentality. Life comes at you fast in the nfl. Just ask David Moore.

Opinions vary but the reality is Carolina has to invest a first in this oline like other teams you mentioned have done. Next years draft should feature no less than two early picks on the line. Things may get worse before they get better in the meantime you see the injuries sustained in camp with a 17 game schedule around the corner.

You heard him folks. Nothing to see here!

Some rust and a few turnovers early on but since then some nice throws short and deep while developing a rapport and good timing with multiple receivers including our new acquisition Arnold. Oline is still the big question mark per usual though.

Le sigh...

If McCaffrey has 100 plus catches it will sadly be to the detriment of the offense. That is more than either Robby or DJ had last year. The best value 22 has for us is the attention he commands. We have many weapons now. Put them all to use and make Sam's life easier.

Some of it is reasonable some not. But in total fairness it is highly relevant as it has been a thorn in our sides going back a decade and has already cost us one franchise quarterback.

Telling people to go root for another team over a discussion about quarterback styles is making things personal. You have made multiple posts about how you dislike running quarterbacks it's pretty clear you have some bias on the matter. You're welcome to your opinion but others are also free to call it as they see it. I've made my position as clear as possible I want a winning quarterback. I'm not in a position to be overly picky either I'll welcome a winner plain and simple whereas you seem to think you are going to the store to pick one out. It doesn't work that way if one falls in our lap and does not check all your boxes but wins that's all that matters

That's your opinion that's fine. Seems like there is something a little deeper at play with you on this issue but that's up to you to reconcile with yourself. I'm not going anywhere been a fan since I was a kid. I'll take any quarterback who will make us a competitive franchise again I don't care about labels or what style you want to shoehorn him into. I hope we have that guy now but if we don't next man up again and again and again until we find him. No sob stories we want to win. Simple as that.

Bizarre to see Panthers fans ragging on Lamar while we sit at or near the bottom of our own division and banking our season on other bad teams failures. Yeah man it must really suck to be the Ravens

That Kai dunk is the energy this team needs. James B and Gelo have the touch. Things are looking up if we can solidify center.

What culture? 7 winning seasons in 25 years is that the culture you're talking about? The Panthers have to get the right quarterback and actually protect him. While you're yelling about players no longer on the roster Carolina has started the likes of Kyle Allen Teddy Bridgewater and now a reclamation project from the Jets of all places while still not showing much concern for the offensive line. Focus on the now and that begins by not repeating the same mistakes of the past.

This is supposed to be light hearted and goofing around by DJ. But if it is an actual question of how I feel about it my first and only response is win some games compete in the division and change it then you'll see plenty of Panthers jerseys

I don't agree with questioning Darnold's work ethic based on nothing. I haven't seen or heard anything to call it into question. As for Fields it's beginning to look like another rinse repeat story with some folks and how they have always judged and treated a dual threat qb. For their sake the kid better be mediocre like they are predicting.

The life of a small market team my friend. I'll take any improvement that's available but none will be without flaws.

Terry is a proven scorer with the game on the line I can't see them moving him unless it brings us another star to solidify a weak position. But I am all in on our attempts to improve we have to maximize the pieces around Melo now.
