Watched all half. We got stood up at the goal line on our first drive. We got stopped. The ref excuse is pretty funny seeing that we had an INT against us overturned. That's been the most critical call of the game and it went in our favor.

@CamWhoaaCam I told you Burrow and these boys would put up points and we'd have to score 30+ and you just laughed because they were 0-3. LOL

Agreed. It's fun to watch the Panthers actually compete.

We had some folks losing their minds after last week. There were some folks ready to backup the Brinks truck for 37 year old Andy Dalton. LOL

I'm fine with him staying around for another year or two. You're not upgrading from him as a backup. Backups are usually backups for a reason.

It's fun watching the Panthers actually compete.

I'd be fine extending him a year or two at good backup/marginal starter money but extending him for "a few more years" at legit starter money? Oh hell no

The Bengals' D has been atrocious so far this season. I was shocked by their goal line stand.

It's why I was pumping the brakes on the Dalton hype last week. He's WAY better than Bryce. He allows us to actually have a vertical threat in our offense. But he threw at least three balls that should've been picked last week. He's already thrown one today and would've been two if not bailed out by a flag. Another jump ball in the end zone earlier could've been picked too. I'm fine with it. It's way more entertaining than Bryce and his inability to throw past the LOS but let's not get carried away and act like we have prime Brady all of a sudden. Dalton could easily have 5-6 picks in the last 6 quarters if we're being honest.

That was an incredibly INT. Glad it didn't count. LOL

The best player on the field just said "wassup y'all?" Woods really botched that. This isn't a big hit safety league now. Just wrap up. If the pads pop flags are flying anyway.

Does everyone else notice the massive difference in individual effort across the board in the last two games? It isn't just that we're better it's that guys are truly busting their ass trying their damnedest. They know that the QB change gives them an actual chance to compete out there versus just going through the motions to collect a check.

The last championship QB y'all had was basically a less mobile version of Bryce Young. When you're stacked with talent you don't necessarily need a guy with all world physical talent, just a smart guy to play within the system and play feed the studs. I have no idea how the NFL evaluations of Bryce and Bennett ended up so wildly different when they're actually extremely similar in tool sets. Bennett was drafted about where he should've been. Bryce was wildly overdrafted. I said leading up to the draft that when I watch Bryce at Bama I see a mid round QB that projects as a good backup/marginal starter type. I was wrong in that I was still thinking too highly of him at that.

The only thing that drives an egomaniac to double down even harder and get more involved is failing. I don't think there's anything that can get Tepper to admit that he sucks at something that he wants badly to succeed at. Failure just means he's going to put even more focus and effort into it.

Nicole reportedly wanted Stroud so hell, I'd rather have her involved than Dave. Chuba was reportedly a pick driven by Matt Rhule's wife and he's one of the bright spots on the roster. Maybe we just need to let the wives run the show.

So... basically Prime Academy 2.0, except at the college level this time? Yeah, pretty much.

No major decision is getting made without heavy Tepper influence and green lighting. We're literally relying on a football moron to blindly stumble into the right decisions. Tough place to be. We basically have a late stage Al Davis on our hands except we're likely stuck with him for a lot longer.

He's a Deion fanboy. When Shedeur and Hunter go to the NFL and Deion realizes that the guys carrying him through his "coaching" career are gone and he moves into his next grift so with CWC. His very username came straight from Deion's mouth. He's a Deion fan above all else. Ultimately, I think Deion will either become Shedeur and Hunter's agent and build from there or start some type of sports marketing firm but around those two. And honestly? I think he'd be really fuging good at the latter if he put the right people around him.

To be fair, the talk isn't about Colorado. It's about your weird obsession with one man and everything he comes into contact with. I bet you have some Prime Academy hoodies tucked away somewhere in your closet. LOL

Who has said you can't talk about Colorado? What kind of projection is this? LOL

There's only one person in Panthersdom who's getting final say in any critical decision for the foreseeable future.

We've made too many dumb decisions to trust ourselves. Trading up was honestly probably the right call. We just drafted the wrong QB. No reason to think we wouldn't do it again. I'm fine with taking a QB in the first but don't trade up to do it. I don't trust the organization to make the right call.

Your love affair with everything touched by Deion Sanders is strange and comical.

He's Will Levis on a better team. So yeah, in the early 2nd I'd start to get tempted depending on who else was available.

Not really. Why would it be? I already know we sucked because we got wrecked by JMU. That told me all I needed to know. What you learned today is y'all are just as bad (well, exactly one point better). The state of college football in NC is at an all-time low.
