You suck, you sit. You ball out, you see the field. Drop passes, get stupid penalties or run sloppy/wrong routes? You sit. I hold no ill will towards any of the players, but we deserve the best Panthers team possible. If Horn turns in to SS89 v 2.0 and is obviously the best WR on the team, then he is WR#1, draft position be damned. I’m not saying it’ll happen, it likely won’t, but the guys who give the team the best chance to win have to see the field.

He gone. The more big plays Hunter comes up with, the more he will see the field; that goes the same for the rest of the WRs. Who is it that makes the big, got to have this, plays consistently. This is going to be a really fun year. Even preseason games will be interesting.

We desperately need edgy (see what I did there) players. He heard a lot of names get called before his in the draft. I hope he hated every second of that. I want him to try to cleanly beat every one of our o linemen like they owe him money…. Just not our QB. Ickey needs all the practice he can get at handling speed guys with the Bucs picking up Reddick.

Did Prince know he screwed up? Of course he does, but damnit I appreciate the hustle, and I bet the rest of the team does as well. This is going to be a different year. I wonder if it was getting chippy out there since Dave called practice off early

There’s going to be a lot of fights to break up at TC this year, and I love it.

#11. does XL feel disrespected by the roster moves and take the next step?

I don’t see someone like Tepp allowing that canary to sing at the conclusion of his contract. a non-disclosure may be in the mix.

100%. In his heart, he absolutely thought he’d have Stroud. What he may have promised will never be known, but I can’t imagine him taking the gig unless he would be allowed to get ‘his guy’. When BY was the pick and day 1 of camp concluded, Frank went in to ‘I’m too old for this ish’ mode. To me, His comments show that he holds no ill will with Bryce, but he is less than enamored with the org.

I think Hunt is REALLY looking forward to blocking for Dowdle and Chuba.

If Thielen’s mentorship leads to XL being a reliable pass catcher, it will be worth every penny of his contract. Ask yourself this, who else is going to help him? It’s a crowded room and every WR is fighting for play time. They don’t play this game for funsies. There is serious $ on the line for these dudes. They can’t afford to be buried on the roster come contract #2 time. This is their shot. I’m not saying the intentions are nefarious, but there is contract money riding on play time for these dudes. Coker has #2 square is his sights. better believe that. Why would he help XL? Would you? Moore? Nah. JAG. Horn knows he’s a fringe WR. He used to hustle neighborhood kids in to racing growing up. I don’t see him being the helping kind. Hunter? He’ going to be too busy battling Coker for the #3 spot. There is literally no better person for the mentor role for XL than Thielen.

if Theilen can coach XL to be even 80% of the pass catcher that he himself is, how much $$ is that worth? Millions. Would I pay $5 million for XL be the guy who never drops a pass? Hell yes I would. All day. Not too long ago this team didn’t have any veteran leadership. Don’t be so quick to boot it out the door just to see what the new toys can do.

I kind of dig the ‘nobody but a few’ jobs are safe approach that Dan has employed. Everyone needs to watch their back. No more feel good stories.

No receiver on this team, or any player for that matter, should get reps just because they need the reps. They want the reps? Beat the dudes out in front of them. Bust ass in practice and make fewer mistakes than everyone else. if this team is serious about competing with other teams, they should be serious about competing amongst themselves. Want it? Take it. If Adam really is that bad, he should be a piece of cake to outshine, right?

Wasn’t knocking you at all and I appreciate seeing panthers related content. Media pundits. I guess they have to write about something as camps approach

So only 2 of the 32 second rounders have actually inked a contract, but yet the story is about 1 of the 30 that have yet to sign? laughable man. Laughable.

Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way. Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

It didn’t even feel like a real game. Not at any point did I feel, ‘now this is a football game’ feel. It was like watching the last Tyson fight. It was the Von Miller and refs show. I still feel cheated. 2003… I never felt cheated. I still rewatch that game. Greatest football game I’ve ever seen. I’ve never rewatched the 2015 game. We can’t have nice things.

There was a 0.0% chance the league lets their golden boy sail off in to his sunset with a SB loss at the hands of Cam Newton. Zilch. The wheels gradually fell off. 1. SB loss 2. Blowout loss in ATL in 2016 shook the feeling of invincibility the team had coming off of 2015 3. The Josh Norman disaster 4. TJ Watt smokes Cam’s shoulder 5. Kuechly’s concussions 6. Repeated whiffs on a true #1 receiver Above all else, it was Cam’s shoulder and how it was managed. Nobody truly knows the 100% truth on that aspect, but that one event slammed the ‘window’ shut, just when He was making true strides in his intermediate passes with touch and anticipation.

Wirfs is that dude. Nothing but respect, regardless of his affiliation.

Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded.

And that’s where I am too. completely turning around the worst o line in the league, in 1 offseason, in to a top 10 unit?! Who does that? I think an equally impressive feat will transpire this year.

Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am. His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue. Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever? Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.

I think Dan’s blinking disorder started after the 2003 SB… and I love it.

It’s nobody’s business how XL lives his life, football related or not. It’s his bank account. Just as it is with any other career, in the NFL, everybody is replaceable. I’m sure his contract has numerous infractions that will result in a breach.

Didn’t realize Renfro did returns! Thank you for that It’s his (Renfro) to lose then, which he won’t.
