That isn't true. I would believe Ellis over me and just about anyone else with regards to Carolina. He has worked really hard to keep good sources and information in the building, and he will be more in the know than any of the information I or most people will get. Him and Joe Person are where it's at in regards to that.

I agree with you, I just meant his sources outside of the building on the national level, I doubt even our FO really has a clue besides their feelings of how the interview went

Karma will get NO in the end.  This is still a very, very risky move and could easily blow up in their faces for reasons posters against the trade have been pointing out for months.  They have such a thin margin of error for success going forward, and they aren’t some juggernaut even with this trade.  

as for this crap about getting smashed twice a year…Brees didn’t even achieve a winning record against us until his 2nd to last year in uniform, and that’s after the wheels really fell off for us during the transition.  If we can keep Brees and Payton at or below .500 against us for almost all of his career, we can do so against Watson and their retread coach.

 

Rhule and Darnold won’t be here much longer, and perhaps Tepper will finally be humbled and let the football men do their job.  We’re so close to an elite defense as is, and it’s looking like the offensive line we’ve been waiting a decade to be addressed finally is being done.  Trust in Fitt to find us a signal caller in the next year or two and we’ll be peaking right as the Saints are running out of ways to replenish

I still don't think that. Do I think the Saints have a lead to this point given what Ellis and some others have said? Yeah. I don't think anything is set in stone yet. 

I don’t get how the feeling can be that Carolina ain’t his first choice but that they’re still in it. What am I missing? The way the reporters put it all the teams put in offers that the Texans would accept. What could Carolina even do to close the gap now?

Exactly what I’m saying.

The signings they are making are part of it, making the team better at certain spots like OL

Because we don't know Deshaun's thought process. We also don't know how it will all play out. Everyone has a pretty good idea but there is no certainty.

Yup every positive FA action can cause a Deshaun reaction in the next couple days. He's probably finding out about each teams cap flexibility in each interview and may adjust his ideal scenario accordingly

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
