Trust me when I say there's a lot of interesting stuff in this piece.

Revelations from "It's better to be feared"

Mind you, the content is only tangentially Panthers related (lots of talk about Spygate) but based on what I read I'd expect there'll be some Panthers discussion to be found in the book when it comes out.

Included within the article though is some hysterical stuff about Roger Goodell, Eric Mangini and Bill O'Brien plus Tom Brady sounding like he just wants a hug.

Brady over Belicheck ALL DAY and twice on Sunday. Belicheck is a cheater, an asshole, terrible drafter,  and overrated. He bends more rules than the Catholic Church. 
 

bet old Belicheat would have a different career narrative if it weren’t for TB12. 

This.

And what I don't understand is, if Kraft & Goodell/Belicheat & Goodell are as close as they appear to be, why the hell aren't the other 31 teams ready to burn Goodell at the stake?  Surely there's some other shmuck that can continue making them money hand over fist without the blatantly obvious favoritism.

Goodell has no power.  He’s the bullet proof shield in front of the owners.  He takes the punishment.  That’s why they pay him so much.

NFL franchises are pretty decent investments even when the team sucks, I’m not sure how many owners even care about another owner getting a competitive advantage. You can sit on your hands and still make money. 
 

Maybe that sounds too apathetic but i feels good to say.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
