Agreed. Ruining K's send off twice was awesome on the way to a national championship game appearance but it gave the administration way too much co fodwncw in Hubert when the reality was rhat streaky shooters in Caleb Love and RJ Davis just got red hot at the right time and Hubert finally carved out a major role for Brady Manek. Hell, this year's win over duke was kinda the same story. The team came put absolutely sleepwalking and not ready to play outside of Caleb Wilson and Seth Trimble who pretty much by themselves kept us from getting absolutely blown out by half. The rest of the roster did practically nothing in the 1st half other than steal oxygen that Wilson and Trimble could've been breathing.

The final wins over K enroute to a title game run (along with Roy's strong support) bought him a long leash but at this point the financial commitments are playing a MUCH bigger role. We have a lot of money tied up in Hubert and Belichick and replacing Belichick is probably seen as the far more pressing matter. The way duke fans act you'd think they were Wooden's UCLA but all they've really been doing is providing a stopover for a year for NBA lottery picks while not winning any titles. You're not Wooden's UCLA, you're Calipari's Memphis.

UNC is 48-2 in NCAA tournament games when leading by 10+. Hubert blew a 16 point lead in the national championship game and a 19 point lead tonight.

As fun as those two last wins over K were and that fluke run to the title game were in Hubert's first season, it wasn't worth it in the long run. Getting to a title game in his first year bought him a verrrrrry long leash. I honestly think tonight would've been the last straw without that. We lost a national championship ship game because Hubert hates using his bench and just wants to lean on his starters and we ran out of gas. We lost tonight for the same reason. Veesaar was absolutely gassed before regulation even ended.

Between Hubert Davis, Bryce Young, and Bill Belichick my schedule sure has gotten a lot less restricted by sports TV schedules in recent years. LOL

Wish I'd been wrong but this was so predictable.
-
I fully expected to lose to VCU but we gotta rip the bandaid off and fire Hubert. Good lord.
-
Yeah, you can have your pick of NFL QBs and it's still pretty much impossible to draw a path to a playoff berth for that roster.
-
Yep, I'd sign it. From a pure football perspective, it sucks. From a winning at life perspective, he literally just won the lottery.
-
I honestly feel bad for Willis. I mean, good that he got a decent (NFL QB speaking) payday and will be set for life, but in terms of actually competing and providing he's a legit starter? The Dolphins are gonna carry $175M in dead cap this year and they have an out in Willis' contract after the 2027 season. This seems like the most obvious tank job in history with Willis signed as cover for it.

His agent was like vet min, vet min, vet min... holy poo this has to be a mistake, fug it whatever SIGN IT!!!

What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1
LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that. -
What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1
LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
This is always accounted for in the draft. Positional value matters. Sime positions are more valuable than others and those positions are paid more and all else being equal drafted higher. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-draft-which-positions-most-least-valued-over-past-decade -
Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think
LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
Build the best roster we can and if Bryce continues to be a weak link continue building that roster by replacing him. Bringing Pickett was a real disappointment. Felt like we gave him $7.5M just so that we could pretend he's a quality backup. Well, he must be since we're paying him like one. -
Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think
LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah, when you're wanting to run multiple TEs and your TEs are a weakness you're basically handcuffed yourself. I think there's a good chance our passing attack would look significantly different if we had a quality receiving TE. -
Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think
LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds. -

LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
By design of the offense or because our TEs suck? That's the question. Targeting our current TEs at a high rate would just be dumb. -
Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think
LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
Our TEs were ranked 47th, 52nd, and 57th in the league in receiving yards for TEs last season. -
I mean, the most important position on the roster is our biggest limitation currently.
-
Not seeing the scheme fit for Faulk. Too small for 3-4 DE and doesn't have the juice to stand up. He seems like a strong side 4-3 DE to me and probably not one you'd draft in the 1st.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/48198142/college-basketball-invitational-abruptly-cancels-2026-tournament And thats how I found out that there was an actual thing called the College Basketball Invitiational tournament. LOL Seriously, did anyone even know this existed? Everyone knows about the NIT (Not Invited Tournament), but did anyone realize there was a third tier conference for teams that even got snubbed by the NIT?

Smitty just isn't ever gonna grow up. Refuses to apologize for "things in his personal life" because people need to mind their own business. Evidently minding your own business doesn't apply to Smitty because one of the first rules of minding your own business is not fuging other people's wives. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16UbAbycei/
