Rhule and CO. are only responsible for as far as 1 year ago. They obviously value a strong defense more. They had to rebuild the roster. We weren't a player or two away. We weren't an OL away (from being contenders) before, but now we just about are... Why? Because of Rhule & CO.

Or... maybe a new front office made a bad decision... (IMO they didn't) every team makes a few moves that they wish they didn't make. The difference is how they learn from those mistakes and when they choose to cut their losses and move on. Example: Denzel Perryman. As a team and as a roster, I like where we are at. We may not be perfect, but they did a damn good job with the roster and draft picks they had. Every year they do "re-Drafts" of where they think players should have gone and which teams made bad decisions. No team makes every move right. Now if we don't upgrade the OL after this upcoming off-season... we have a problem. But right now? They have done everything we could have asked for. They are preparing for next off-season while still focusing on winning now. Just like we filled some holes before the draft so that we don't have to draft for need. We are doing the same thing. By the time we are in the off-season the only upgrades we will need are what... OL? maybe a safety and maybe a LB. I mean after OL, we could use talent but only NEED depth in other positions.

He was a part of the drug bust in WFT

Wanna-be Ryan Santoso

The way I see it.... Teams that have been successful in limiting some of what Hurts and company can do have good Man coverage CB's. Hurts likes to to throw a lot to the sidelines. Saw a chart that revealed that he didn't throw much down the middle. Maybe it as a gameplan thing. Maybe it plays towards his strengths some. The team shows that it can move the ball, but there are some "rookie type mistakes" that hurts is still making that we can exploit. Also the Smith/Hurts connection isn't as great as people think. He has like 22 catches on like 40 targets. As long as we can stop the run game we should be fine. And from what I hear playcalling and coaching are some of the main issues in philly.

Just ran into one of the refs. He said he doesn't plan on reviewing fumbles on sunday

Best Case Scenario: Gilmore returns to former self, resigns with Panthers Worst Case Scenario: Gilmore plays out rest of year, 2023 6th round pick upgrades to 5th round comp pick

Apparently Devante Adams tweeted yesterday "call me" while tagging Gilmore in a post as an attempt to kind of recruit him. Knowing where the Packers sit Cap wise im sure he knew they couldn't trade for him, but likely hoping that he would hold out and not end up being traded. He later tweeted "He never called". Which maybe shows that he wasn't interested. Or maybe he knew he wouldn't get what he wanted in an extension with them. Plus they're two franchise guys (Rodgers, Adams) might not even be there next year. And since it was said the the Patriots wanted to send him to a favorable place. Favorable on both sides most likely. This leads me to believe Carolina was the only team on the list that he wanted to go to that could afford to trade with him. But it could also mean there wasn't many teams on his list.

I would start my dream of becoming an underground scooter drag racer.

Lmao a fan asking for a pic isn't stalker-like. But like it was just fun and jokes bro lol I didn't actually need any proof. Glad to see Jaycee feeling good and hopeful to return for a playoff push

Most people post a picture. Not saying you need proof or that I don't believe you lol. But I would've loved to see his big ass on a lil scooter like that. Hope he gets healthy soon and continues playing the way he has!

Can't lie. I wanted Ridley over Moore in that draft. I wouldn't say someone would be wrong in that. But Stat wise, Moore has been better. But they have both been really good. My excuse is... yes I am using an excuse lol.... I definitely did not watch and still never do watch... Maryland football Im just happy we had good enough scouts and FO personnel to realize his potential at the time

More details on the Stephon Gilmore trade: In a surprising end to what was already a surprising piece of news, the Patriots traded cornerback Stephon Gilmore to the Panthers on Wednesday for a 2023 sixth-round pick hours after it was first reported that New England was set on releasing him. During an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio’s “Movin’ The Chains” show, Carolina general manager Scott Fitterer offered some background on how the Gilmore deal came together. “Really, the opportunity kind of came about, we started hearing things about it [Tuesday] night, and then [Wednesday] morning, something came out on the internet that he was being released,” said Fitterer. “So Pat Stewart, who is our VP of player personnel, called up to [Patriots director of player personnel] Dave Ziegler, and they started conversations, and as the morning went on, you heard, ‘Hey, teams are getting involved. You may have to trade for him now.’” Fitterer noted that Carolina — having already lost cornerback (and 2021 first-round pick) Jaycee Horn for multiple months due to a broken foot — didn’t want to delay on a potential deal. “So instead of just waiting and seeing what happened and waiting for him to be released, we just thought we’d be aggressive and go out and take a shot on him,” Fitterer explained. “We just love what he’s going to bring to our organization.” Given that Stewart worked for the Patriots from 2007-2017 in the team’s scouting department, he was the natural choice to reach out to Ziegler. In the end, the two teams got a deal done, and New England was able to recoup a draft pick for the departing cornerback. https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2021/10/07/stephon-gilmore-trade-details-panthers-gm/

Among all WRs: 398 Rec yds (4th) 30 Receptions (2nd) 3 Rec TDs (T-3rd) 8 Receptions of 20+ (1st) 155 YAC (4th) 21 Receptions for 1st Downs (T-1st)

Likely a 5th round comp pick. Because of his position and how long he's been in the league. I agree with everything else though. I do think they will try to resign both Donte and Stephon.

VIA: Clutch Points https://clutchpoints.com/carolina-panthers-4-bold-predictions-for-week-5-vs-eagles/ Panthers Week 5 Predictions 4. Panthers defense stifles the Eagles run game The Eagles can’t seem to get their rushing attack going regardless. Even so, the Panthers have done a decent job at slowing down the run (until they played the Dallas Cowboys). Philadelphia has had a hard time stringing together consecutive drives this year and the Panthers will look to exploit their weak run game. 3. Chuba Hubbard puts up a modest 80+ rushing yards and 1 touchdown Christian McCaffrey will come back to the lineup soon, but it’d be wise of the coaching staff to sit him out for one more week. This would give Chuba Hubbard another chance to prove himself in the NFL. He’d been consistent with his opportunities, which has helped the Panthers maintain their rushing attack. He’s struggled in the passing game though, which hindered Carolina against the Cowboys. However, the Eagles don’t have the best defense in the world. For this reason, Chuba Hubbard could be in for a solid performance on Sunday. A consistent attack out of the backfield should be enough for the Panthers to control the clock and win the game. 2. DJ Moore goes off for 125+ receiving yards and 2 touchdowns DJ Moore is very clearly the top target in Carolina. Through four games, Moore has already recorded 30 receptions for 398 yards and three touchdowns. He has a tough matchup against the Eagles though, as Darius Slay is bound to shadow him throughout the contest. Even so, look for the Panthers to get creative and find ways to get the ball to DJ Moore. 1. Sam Darnold continues his hot streak He has to be in the running for Comeback Player of the Year with how he’s performed to start the season. Sam Darnold is a completely different quarterback under Matt Rhule. Due to Darnold’s consistency, the Panthers’ offense has been much more efficient compared to last season. He could be in for a big game and should lead Carolina to a victory over the Eagles.

And the way he can help bring our young guys up to speed. Can't say he didn't help the Patriots CB JC Jackson.

We are no longer looking back at moves made pre-rhule/fitterer era

I hate that Djax cannot Tackle and he has improved some (at tackling)... but I do believe he is the most likely option moving to a Safety position. If anyone in the CB does
