When this is what you're having to lean into for your 3rd year #1 overall pick, I mean... LOL

Well, a blocked punt for a TD makes this game feel very different immediately.

Ugh. Looking like possibly two primetime blowouts back to back nights. I have no dog in these fights. I just wanna watch good games.

This is what the Cardinals had in mind when they drafted Marvin Harrison Jr. He hasn't looked nearly as good as billed so far in his career but he sure is looking the part tonight.

It wasn't even dirty. It was a player taking his sweet time getting out of bounds while tauntingly pointing first down. If it had been Jordan Love doing it I would've been screaming at our closing defender to bust his ass.

A violent hit on a sliding QB vs. a shove on a QB still inbounds. Yeah, you're right. There is no comparison. One was a dirty illegal play and the other was completely legal.

How much breaking sports news gets announced by random fan Twitter accounts? How many random Twitter accounts post utter BS trying to get reactions, shares, and follows? Which scenario is more likely here? No one is getting attacked. No one is being negative. People are just correctly pointing out that you're probably getting worked up over BS. Here's another hint... if it's a thread started by @TheSpecialJuan, it's almost CERTAINLY complete, unadulterated, unfiltered bullshit.

Yeah, the probably do. And random fan Twitter accounts don't find out about them. That's my point.

I'm just saying that it's probably BS because this isn't the type of person who is likely to have the sources to break have a scoop like this. Sure talk about it.

I sure hope so. The reality of the situation seems plainly obvious but I've just watched the Panthers do so many obviously dumb things in real time that I can't feel certain.

Says a Twitter account with less than 500 followers sourcing nothing

They were definitely very small to have not gotten a cease and desist letter from Post. Big corporations have teams of lawyers just sitting around looking for something to do like sending cease and desist letters to tiny podcasts infringing on their trademarks

This is the second Panthers podcast I'd never heard of that has announced it will cease to exist this year.

That was really dumb. Said it in the game thread.

Yeah, thankfully Chuba had the awareness to go after that fumble that everyone else seemed to just assume was an incomplete pass.

It is. That's why I honestly hope he hits the portal. I'd like to see him in a different (hopefully better) situation.

Sellers was super intriguing but he's taken a big step back this year.

Motor and physical tools is a big part of it. Pass rushers usually aren't instant impact additions in the draft. It usually takes 2-3 years to know what you've got. In the meantime, just show me effort and the the physical tools.

I just don't see how. The physical tools just aren't there. The ceiling is really low. I knew his physical talent ceiling was limited coming into the draft but honestly even as a guy who didn't want Bryce in the draft because of that, I still significantly underestimated just how limited he was going to be on an NFL field.

Picking up Bryce's option would be brutal. But yeah, it feels like a very Tepper's Panthers thing to do. You just can't pay the guy another $26M+ guaranteed. Not when you can reasonably get his level of play from a journeyman vet FA for a lot less. Bryce is a replacement level QB. You don't sign up to give a replacement level QB another $26M+. You just replace him.

About what I expected. I would've probably guessed -3.5.

That's why I'd love to make a move for a guy like Jameis or Howell. Yeah, it might come with turnovers but at least a guy like that would give us a better ability to evaluate our offensive skill positions. I mean, Bryce is already producing the turnovers so what are we even talking about worrying about turnovers? When you're only completing 11 passes and only attempting 20 there's not a lot to evaluate.

Yep, that was another one where there was traffic and he was having to try to loft the ball up and over a defender. That's where the big problems happen with Bryce. His release point is just a good foot shorter than most QBs and trying to loft balls up and over traffic causes a lot of his high misses and we all know that high misses in the open field are big problems.

I just think it was an awful throw. He was trying to throw to the back pylon and just missed terribly. He had a little bit of pressure in his face and he can't deal with that. That's when the awful throws usually happen. I don't have a problem with that shot if it's thrown to the back pylon where it should've been. That ball thrown correctly to the outside is either caught by XL of is safely missed high and/or outside. You cannot miss that throw short and inside.

BPA from start to finish hopefully finding a QB somewhere along the way. Give me a journeyman vet QB and hopefully a developmental guy in the draft. I don't love taking off the ball LBs in the 1st but I can't deny what a TD or a Morgan or a Beason would do for this defense.
