I like this one. GGGrrrrrrrr!

We should write about CMC....or maybe we should focus on our own roster.

Working the bottom of the roster---nothing to see here.

My first thought? "Please say 'David Newton', please say 'David Newton'..."

Our OFFENSE was crippling in 2021, 2022. We won 7 games last season without a QB. I think the OL is much improved in 2023. Center: We are better because Bozeman is now the starter for the entire season and we have 2-3 solid hybrid G/C backups (Mays, McRay) Guard: Corbett and Christensen--our backups are better than our starters were in 2021. Mays, Zavala, McCray, Jensen---forget Jordan and Brown---awesome strength at G. Do not be surprised, at some point, BC does not become the swing T. Tackle: Moton, Ekwonu, and Erving. With BC's ability at T and insane depth at G, we have a solid T group. When Zavala is ready for LG, BC might become a T again. Mays might be ready for RG now, but Corbett was just extended. Mays could be the swing G/C. Now take a look at Wide Receiver: You have to expect Marshall to continue the growth he flashed last season. Shenault was not used correctly--I am sure we are going to see him in the game plan more like Debo. New toys? Chark and Theilen will be pros and that will mean a lot to a young QB, but Mingo could make this group special. Folks, we have never had 5 studs at WR--potential studs--but with a TE threat, we are now better. Running Back: Sanders, Blacksheer, Hubbard, Brown--I think we stepped back in this area from CMC (but not after he was traded), but with a new QB and better OL than even last year, this RB group could be average to above average. Quarterback: To me, our backup in 2023 is better than what we had starting in 2022. So this offense has the chance to be special. If Bryce plays well, this team wins the South and makes some noise in the playoffs--

I have always found preseason predictions geared toward the larger market teams--why? More clicks and shares. This is just silly.

Since the blue is the biggest change (but I like the thinner stripes that do not go under the armpit) they were right to model the blue jersey. I am not sure the blue change would be noticed on the white or black jerseys. We shall see. I was hoping for a black, blue and silver plaid jersey with tie-dyed pants and the old 1970s three stripe tube socks. That would be sweeeeeet.

Until you get a QB, all you have at WR is potential. However, since potential suggests possible performance in the future, you can't rate them in the bottom five with no data, research, or justification.

TMJ started coming on once The Chosen Robbie/Robby was sent packing. I mean, the Rhule offense with these QBs was not the place to develop. His stats from late last year are encouraging. From 1-6, this is the best we have been at WR since 1995. We have had 2-3 studs, but this roster has the potential to be really good-- Chark, Thielen--I give them a C as a pair. If they stay healthy--maybe a B- to a B. We do not have the superstar (Smith, for example), but I do not think we lost a superstar (Hard to say how good Moore can be with the QB circus here, but we will not feel his loss as much as one might expect.) Mingo, TMJ--I give them a potential A- as a 3/4 WR combo. I see two stepping up as bigger, physical WRs. Shenault--this could be the difference maker. a "swiss army" Debo? If he does what I think he can do, he could be one of the great NFL stories in 2023. Just watch what we do with him-- And whoever sticks at #6 will be better than what we have had in the past.

No longer an issue--Jets got him--I think. Saw it on facebook, where they gave a second, third, and fourth rounder--can't find it anywhere else (just started looking)

for those of you who think that he is injury prone, I will say that our 5'10", 200 lb starting QB who was drafted first overall will have a longer career than our 6'5" 250 lb. starting QB who was drafted first overall. Sure, some will call me a jinx and others will simply marvel at my ability to see the future--but i have spoken.

He should be a good depth player as a rookie. Norman was in the dog house his first 2 seasons--if my memory serves me correctly--maybe Henderson or Taylor will step up. Eric Rowe can play CB as well.

Ian Thomas could also improve dramatically. It is rare for a player to say, "I was not coached." For TT to say this, it is huge.

The problem with one man earning so much money doing one thing: We tend to equate wealth with importance or even intelligence in this country. Those people get praised, and they feel they are smarter than everyone else in every thing else. He is learning that success in hedge funds does not equate to success between the hedges.

It is hard enough worrying about 53 employees and the coaching staff. I wish the folks behind the curtain well.

I have been saying this all along--he was "breaking out" since Chosen Robbyie left. I expect him to have between 600 and 700 yards this season while Chark and Thelein combine for about 2000. Shenault is going to be the interesting player because they are going DEBO with him to some degree--the most misused player on the roster last year. Throw in Mingo, and our WR corps has never been potentially this good at the top 5 positions. WRs can get tired--they run a lot of sprints in a game--having 5 over 3 is huge.

I mean, look at what we gave up compared to what D. Watson was going to cost us. We get a perverted QB with Salary Cap Issues out the arse and they get multiple first rounders. This is how you do it.

If you do not have a QB, you are a team contenders scrimmage against. Season ticket holders deserve more. Consider that about half of the first rounders in the NFL never pan out, and second and third rounders don't usually become difference makers, if Bryce is good, we were great. We have already made the WR room better, and we could not make the QB room better unless we did what we did. This was a no brainer. The Bears, like most teams, benefited from sucking many years in a row, so we shall see. Time could reveal that they were stupid for holding onto Fields when Young becomes a pro bowler and they have the dilemma of giving a mediocre QB a $240m contract.

Oh, and if you do not drink Bud Light because you think you are a political savant, you are not. You are an empty headed, gas-lighted, manipulated, bigoted pawn who has been easily influenced by religious radicals who use fear and hate to make you think what you are and have is being threatened by others. Please stand for more than that, and change the channel once in a while. Go Panthers (to make this Panther related). I agree with Lady Panther--props for the support.

It's BEER. The word SNOB has no place in any sentence with BEER in it. It is called, "The drink of the common man." So if snob means that you are the most common, then congrats.

Batted passes has more to do with telegraphing throws than height. Discuss.

Q: What do Bryce and this lump of clay have in common? A:

Imagine the Panthers are losing 43-0 and they are down to their second string QB. That means, under no circumstance, could you pull him and insert the emergency QB to save him for the next game unless he was injured. While not probable, you make rules if the situation is possible. If they do not define "injured" you are going to see a lot fake injuries.

Now they will need to define "injured." Slippery slope.
