New Forum = New Attitudes

The Panthers have possibly more promise now for the future than ever. We have a SuperStar in the making QB, a young core of players signed long term, and hopes for the future.

Yet, the forum as a whole is more aggressive, trollish, just plain meaner than ever. I don't understand why.

As such, I have grown weary of this dbaggyness. The new forum system has given the Mods and Admin new and exciting ways to ban you and generally be rid of those who have long walked the lines of trolling and more importantly ruining MY forum browsing experience.

Stop being dicks to each other.

Enjoy that we have some form of hope for the future.

Be fuging civil.

When I start banting you don't cry out for help. Zod has given me unmitigated power to be rid of you ignorant trolls who get their funsies trying to bring others down, I will use this power to stroke my already massive internet ego/penis.

My only complaint so far with the new board is that you can't preview threads by hovering over the title. I used to be able to use that first 1-2 sentences to see if it was click worthy. Me no rikey! Other than that, I dig it.

    • 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. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
