Panthers have a good chance of winning 4 of the next 5...so I'd rather focus on that then worry about people saying we are a dumpster fire when everything has changed over the last few months.

Based on what?  Hope?

The Seahawks and the Lions are teams we don't match up to well.  Yes, those teams have leaky defenses, but they score.  A lot.  

The Bucs and Saints are divisional games, away from home.  One of them is against Brady, who isn't "excellent" this year, but he's still Tom Brady.

Leaving . . . the Steelers.  Those guys own us historically (we're 1-6 vs Pittsburgh).  Pickett is starting to figure it out.

Whether you're a tank proponent or not, the fact is we are a bad team.  We are far more likely to lose 4 of 5 than win that many.

But it is the GMs responsibility to put the right coaches in place...Fitts has failed miserably at that task. Keeping him is a sign that nothing will change. 

Which coach did Fitts have a say in?

Rhule and Co. were already in place when he was hired.

Tepper fired Rhule and promoted Wilks.

Wilks fired Snow and promoted Holcomb.

Where are the GMs fingerprints?

Sure, I'm happy for him. No hard feelings from me.

It just underscores what an awful organization we've become. Who would've known that we would ultimately look back on the sporadic successes of the JR era as the good old days? Who would've known that when Tepper said the days of mediocrity we're over that he actually meant that we would soon long for the days of that mediocrity?

It’s a fun story for a Thursday night game, particularly with the historically short turn around.

That said, Baker threw a game ending pick called back due to a senseless PI. Maybe it doesn’t get picked without the penalty but it’s likely at least deflected and goes to 4th and long. 

Then, he takes a 15 yard sack that should have kept the clock running at a 1 minute. Instead, Raiders linemen knocks the ball out of Baker’s hands giving Baker those yards back, a clock stoppage and fresh set of downs. 

I thought there was even a third, 5 yard penalty that gave the rams a new set of downs due to yardage after that but can’t recall the specifics. 

But for the Raiders discipline melting down, Baker’s performance this game would have felt very familiar.

I'm nothing towards baker. He's still a shitty qb that wouldn't be here next year. But hopefully this shows them that mcadoo is complete ass and we'll get a real offensive mind in here for next season

Well he’s only been bad here and good everywhere else so….

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      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.
