Yeah, I'm over it, but it does suck to just never get any respect.  No matter the years that go by, the amount of time we've been in the league, the players and coaches that come and go, a change in ownership - we have to be the most disrespect or at minimum, the least respected team in the league.

I think those days are fading, every time I hear the panthers mentioned now days it's competent, young talented. Maybe not hyped. But clearly well thought of

I will never be critical of a rookie QB that is drafted by a sh*tty franchise, ever again.  Franchisees that don’t build around a rookie QB BEFORE drafting one, should be stripped from drafting one.  Signing veterans only, till they build at least an average offense around a young guy.

Don’t pretend that many of these players suck, simply to make you feel good your franchise didn’t draft them. 

Cam came in here with one good receiver and a TE and lit the world on fire as a rookie.  Team building is part of it, but some of this stuff is just bad.  Going back to HS, if you throw late, bad things happen, and that flea flicker throw was about as late as they get...  Lawrence can't do that, regardless of the staff or team around him.  They had the lead...  no reason to do that there.

Now, as I mentioned with Fields, Nagy has shown himself to be a QB killer at this point, and a pretty crappy coach.  So, I think its entirely possible the system is not helping Fields.  But again, some of the decisions he has made when the read looks pretty simple and consistently locking onto one read and one read only, the early results are not encouraging.

That's not how it works. 

If you're drafting high enough to spend a pick on a premium position, i.e. QB, then by definition the rest of your team needs a lot of help.

And not a one of the interesting games is being shown on the local channel.  Bungles vs the old folks home bound Big Ben, and the Washington football team being spanked.  

Yep its annoying. Can't wait til the directv contract ends. I had it in the past but just don't need or want cable at this point in my life. I just want to watch all the football games. Is that too much to ask?

Watching the Bills vs. WFT. A couple of things have stood out.

It's the same old Ron Rivera.

The Bills have dominated this game and haven't taken their foot off the gas. Learning from their prior team's history?

The Bills are doing everything we should have done with Cam, with Josh Allen. They've developed him as a passer and greatly limited his rushing.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.

      You got the gist of his main issue. He plays LB or whatever on D, but hates to tackle and contact. That's the summary.  I normally have a wide margin of " Hey vet min/bring him for try out/maybe he changed/etc etc". But he can not be trusted, * but he did just have his "best" season. He's like those RB that refuse to run between the tackles, bounce everything outside...they too are scared of contact. That's like the whole point of NFL, he's able to trick and athlete his way for 5 years, props to him and his agent.  Me personally I view him like virus, I wouldn't want him on film shying away from hitting while the rookies&UDFA are looking for how the Panthers do things. Plus Im the biggest sucker there is about giving former 1st, 2nd, etc another chances. Just not someone who doesn't want to play NFL and fools those with his god given gifts.  ____________________________________________________________   \ Not to add another layer to this, but I feel contact and hitting its the biggest problem for the NFL. I sorta agree with TEs, WRs, and RBs either going out of bounds or falling to the ground to avoid a solid hit(this goes out the window for 1st downs, SB, etc.) Like if a WR caught a deep slant and already gained 17 yards, but here comes a safety with a great angle, Im all for that WR to fall on the ground...... ugh...... But I think the opposite for my defense. I feel this topic is central sun hot and NFL has done a great job in avoiding it. Im surprised NFL is still allowed, I have huge doubts in the future.

      not sure if carolina picks a WR in this draft, they have some young WR already and will let them develop. Need another vet imo.  I think carolina is going to pass more to the RB's this coming season, look for them to move heaven and earth for Cam Skatteboo.  I really hope they go TE Warren in the 1st. That would add another dynamic to this offense.
