These new guys are really helping the defense. Even though the shots aren’t falling, the defense has been really good.

Also, Grant Williams has been really good, I don’t see any decline from P.J. to Williams.

Williams may not have 40 point potential but he’s super consistent.

He's also starting to grab guys and talk to them. He's showing leadership.

damn this is an entirely different team, loved our trade deadline before these past 2 games, now I'm over the moon lol. Seriously despite this being a brutal lost season I feel really good about this team going forward. Need new ownership to nail the GM and HC hires though.

Watched the whole game tonight, first one I've watched since maybe the beginning of the season. Really like what I'm seeing and I feel like the team can only gel more. Finally the team is fun to watch again and doesn't implode in the 4th!

I’ll take consistency and strong defense over sporadic scoring of great games and bad games. Williams has a long term future here plus we get a 1st.

What makes this even more sweet is that we could go on a nice little run and we’d still end up with a top 7 pick. Not to mention that there isn’t a consensus as to who the number one player in this years draft is. It’s not like winning games is taking us out of the running for a Wembanyama level player.

With this draft having a lot of international and G-League Ignite flair, one of Cody Williams, Dalton Knecht, Ja’Kobe Walter or Rob Dillingham should be there for the Hornets.

All I ever wanted as a Hornets Fan is to have a team to work hard. It seems like the pieces we picked up make the team worth watching again. Get a good GM and coach and I can be patient with a rebuild. I just want to love the team like I did in the 90s.

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By rayzor · Posted

      Would it be possible to do that trade without us getting Watson?

      MLB in Durham?

      I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

      Stop the obsession with the QB position

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      A look at all the QBs making championships over the past 35 years says it's not 1st round QB driven. There are only 64 championship QBs, and this includes Jake Delhomme, Kurt Warner, Case Keenum, Tom Brady, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, Eric Kramer, Brock Purdy, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson and more non 1st round QBs. 5 of these QBs went to a championship in the past 10 seasons. 3 of the 5 won how many of the past 10 SBs? Foles beat Brady. Mahomes and Brady have won 7 of the past 10 SBs. Mahomes walked into a ready made contender. The other 3 are Foles, Manning and Stafford. We know Manning did nothing. It was defense. Stafford managed a defensive game. Foles beat Manning in an offensive shootout. Keep in mind Manning and Stafford were not drafted in the 1st round for the team that won the SB. The Rams have drafted how many 1st round picks in the past 8 years? The Broncos only drafted defense in the 1st round for 5 straight years leading up to their SB, and that's what stopped Cam. Any QB game manager can get you to the playoffs. OL, running game, defense and coaching carry the load during the season. Clutch QBs are needed in the playoffs to get to the championship games, and there is nothing favoring a 1st round QB being clutch over all other QBs. Never draft a QB in the top 20 picks unless they have a professional sports pedigree! If you need a QB it's simple competition and steady flow of a QB type (physicality/talent is not a deciding factor for champions). Sticking to a competitive strategy that filters out QBs who are high TO% and low clutch performance will always work. You're always looking for the one who refuses to give up the starting spot by feeling momentum, showing high situational preparedness, and knowing when to take risks. Top 20 picks should be defense with few exceptions. If you want offense, trade down to get more picks for defense and OL. There should always be a 4 QB rotation (3 roster and 1 practice squad) on the depth chart until 1 has held onto the starting spot for 34 games. Then go to 2 QBs on the roster. Patience in this process is key. There will never be a QB allowed to fail for more than 5 straight games for the myth of long term development. This QB strategy results in hitting on a franchise QB within 3 seasons while building a strong defense and deep OL. The defining factor of success for an NFL Franchise has been the HC/GM combos who have studied, mastered and implemented Bill Walsh's book together. The Panthers franchise appears to be no where near this championship strategy or philosophy. Butting heads over philosophy and mixed/inconsistent strategies have been the constant since Tepper took over.
