Panther Talk

Recommended Posts

Did anyone hear the end of Panther Talk on Monday night? I just listened to the podcast and the end of it cracked me up. Mick Mixon was pleading with the fans not to boo Jake because he needed our support right now. Jim Szoke chimed in and said he grew up in Cleveland and they wouldn't boo one of their own because they are like family. I think after 11 turnovers in 2 games the Dawgpound would let the QB hear about it.

sThere is a big difference with Soke and Mixon.

They get paid to be at the game.

Fans PAY to be at the game.

They should be glad the fans are booing becuse that means they still give a rat's ass.

When the booing stops, people won't care anymore what the Panthers do and they

won't have to worry about the PR image of people booing, no one will be there.

Change will happen then, just like it did with Seifert...no one in the stands..no concession sales, you know .... pocketbook impact to the owner makes many changes possible.

The whole offense deserved to be booed on Sunday, Jake especially. What are fans supposed to do when they see pretty much the same awful game eight months apart? If the Arizona game hadn't happened, then the fans would probably have been a bit kinder, but when the same exact garbage happens, it becomes obvious the team did nothing to improve its game plan and execution (to use a Fox word) over the long offseason.

Guys you do realise that booing him will only make matters worse? It's not like he simply is not trying. Fact is he is a stand up guy and one we should be proud that he played for us.

Should he be our starting QB? No.

Will giving him support help him get back some confidence? Yes

Will him having more confidence lead to more wins? More than likely.

You can dislike the guy, or not want him playing, but do not affect the team by booing him. That's just hurting the team that you support...

No offence; but how many millions does Delhomme make? ...and Fox?

To do what?

There is a price to be paid for that....they can be glad for two things:

1. this team is not playing at home again until Oct 12th.

2. they don't play in Philly, NY, or Chicago...a big media city....they would know what booing was then.

from pee-wee to College no. on booing....pro athletes whose job it is to play QB, be a head coach and know when to set someone down...an O-coordinator who should know the plays to call to beat a blitz...and it ain't 50 yard, 7 step bombs.

That, is a whole different story.

What does it achieve though?

Do you feel better? Not really cause the team is playing like crap.

Does it make them play better? Nope.

I uderstand you need to vent your frustrations, but why give the team you support the complete opposite?

It's something I do not get, get frustrated a mistakes, sigh, moan, shout, whatever. Making a concerted effort to bring down a player consistently is another thing altogether.

No point in bringing up the money. That has no baring on it at all. Why would money make a jot of difference on you supporting a team?

Urrymonster - I couldn't agree with you anymore.

I don't care what each guy makes.

If you make a pic of Jake saying I will throw int for food, You are simply a tool.

Get a life. Better yet, become a Falcon fan and make sure to wear a #7 Jersey.

If you don't like the direction of the team, tough.

If you think being an A*S will help then you are wrong.

Remember this,

What other team in the NFC south has won 11 or more games 3 times in the last 7 seasons.

What other team in the NFC south has been to the playoffs 3 times in the last 7 years.

What other team in the NFC south has won 5 playoff games in the last 7 years.

Remember what Panther football was before Fox / Hurney came to town.

Does 1-15 ring a bell.

I was at the game Sunday, and I couldnt boo Jake. As much as I wanted to I didn't because I knew that no matter what, he was our starting QB. I just looked at everyone while they boo-ed him. I almost felt like I wished I didnt come to the game because of it.

Jake gives us the best chance to win with what we have. Now whether or not he will win enough to get us to the playoffs this year is another story. But I would be willing to bet he can get us more wins than McCown, Moore, or Feely.

Lets take care of this next off season and give the guy some support and try to help him build his confidence back.

    • Mel Kiper gave a C. Can't believe ESPN thinks he's a draft savant.
    • SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-
    • The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
