Good to know. Thanks!

Break every electronic communication device in his house, then take him to get that Ochocinco surgery.

They aren't being made or shipped yet. Not an issue

You expecting to start hanging out?! lol

At this point we have to keep him. I like the guy a great deal he's a very easy player to root for. I just need to see him take a few big and crucial steps forward in his development this season. I sincerely hope it happens.

If we dont resign him, then we know what we are drafting in round 1 next year.. We NEED him to continue to grow and resign him. Motion's time is coming to an end, so we need to get that figured out soon as well. Replacing both tackles..............................................................

Yeah, it's gonna be a dicey situation depending on how it breaks. You don't want a Burns repeat where you are selling at absolute rock bottom or a Horn scenario where you are drastically overpaying for production that hasn't yet shown up. Also, I think a lot will depend on how quickly we can fill that hole. The absolute last thing we want is to be replacing Moton and Ikey at the same time. That's a recipe for utter disaster

True but there are always exceptions. It's one of the reasons I got behind the Jaycee Horn pick a few years ago. He faced a ridiculous amount of future NFL talent iirc.

It's a good sign. All he has to do is keep improving. I also like having the franchise tag after his 5th year option but honestly if he doesn't take another step this year it might be time for another swing after a trade. He is good but a LT that is a monster run blocker just isn't as good as a LT that is a good pass blocker IMO.

Same page--I think I am looking at the long term plan.

I am pretty excited about several of our undrafted free agents-- Mike Reid (CB from SDSU), Bam Martin-Scott (LB So Carolina), Jared Harrison-Hunt (DE SMU--6.5 sacks, 47 tackles, ran sub 4.9 40--that is an Evero pass rushing DE), Issac Gilford (FS Nebraska) 73 tackles at 6'1" 205; Ryan Fitzgerald (K FSU) who should win the job; Luke Kandra (G-Cincinnati) and Michael Tarquin, (OT, Oklahoma)--they (to me) have shots at making the roster and I would not be surprised to see several on the PS.

He is one of the top selling rookie jerseys so it would kind of suck for those fans that have already ordered them.

I'm hoping that's temporary because.....so underwhelming.

I wish it were so…

It's 4 and I don't like it

He sounds like a RG, LG, and then C--in that order. but neither of our current centers were centers in college (I don't think). I think of this way---"if he practices center for a year on the PS..."

I think he is 4. At least his jerseys are selling with that number on them right now.

or you could call him Bomanicious I'm going with King Tet

The great Steve Smith

T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade. Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future. And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.

I dont care as long as he plucks the ball out of the air like he did in college, maybe it will rub off on XL and make him up his game too.

My boy: My wife has been cheating on me and I have proof! Here, look at these texts where she's congratulating some other man on how well he pounded her out like she'd never experienced before to the point he rearranged her IUD! I'm gonna post these texts on social media for the whole world to see! Me:

I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts. Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives. I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft. Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.

Playing devils adovcate here, but if you truly wanted to trade down then it made no sense to be a smoke screen for Walker only. Especially since Tmac is not a generational type player. Make it known that he is in play and see if the cowboys or whoever really like him as rumored.
