This was an epic moment in panther fan history. On a global scale i'd compare it to 9/11(j/k). Pretty sure there are some funny stories to tell.so i'll start it off.I was just coming home from work when i turned on the tv,only to see the damn red flashing breaking news thing. Just to throw the remote at the tv yelling motherfu**er. Where were you when you heard the news?

I was at home watching the morning sportscenter (I'm on the west coast) when the breaking news update came in. I swear all I could do was laugh. In the next 10 minutes, I got calls from 3 of my friends (I didn't answer) but who left me voicemails talking so much poo, saying "He didn't declare b/c he didn't want to play for the Panthers."

Whatever, I'm over it. At the end of the day, Luck is only a sophomore entering his junior year. Stanford is also a very prestigious school and I respect his decision to stay. Even if he's not the number one pick next year, he'll definitely be a starter in the NFL, and a damn good one. He will get his money one way or another.

I had just gotten off of work for the week (Friday here in Australia) and was checking my phone while my coworker that I carpool with was in at the bank. I almost cried, and told my coworker about it when he got back and he busted out laughing. (He doesn't follow sports but I talk about it to him anyway, so he knew what it meant to my team)

I was working and got a text from my girlfriend "Andrew didn't go to Panthers?". Now, I have to say, she doesn't follow sports, and she hates when I talk about the Panthers all the time, but this was the hottest thing ever and if I had to get the news, that was the way to do it.

Then the mass amount of texts came from friends/enemies.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
