The sooner she's out of Chapel Hill the better. Don't care what it is.

Yeah, the lottery in concept is a good idea to prevent tanking. In reality, it's created a lot of controversy for the NBA because of the perception of rigging the system for outcomes desirable for the league.

Somebody posted a pretty good summary of that a while ago. I'll have to see if I can find it.

He is giving a tell to the direction of his route. If I can spot it an nfl CB and safety sure as hell can. A safety can jump that every time or break up the pass at minimum. Horn is a rookie that played at Colorado man. Let him prove himself before you crown him a master of his game.

Yeeeeah...I don't really give a sh-t. I'm just here to talk about Panthers news.

If that allows him to cut close to 90 degrees at full speed then it doesn’t matter. No break down no hip drop. DB doesn’t have a chance to react before he’s out

I will say that the NBA lottery has been so obviously corrupt for years that it is disgraceful.

Using that as a source drives traffic and revenue for a site that has made a choice to be inherently political. People talk about keeping the politics out and yet source content from a site that cannot be separated from their politics. Its particularly cool when all you get is a link with not even a headline so you dont know if your clicking into a story about the Panthers or Shakira's fuzzy sock preferences

NFL tanking is a front office phenomenon, not an on field phenomenon.

Politics affects software interactions?

Hera a screenshot from mine... It's your browser. Doesn't matter who posted it or with what.

You can only move up 10 spots max in the NHL draft.

At 4 they either take VJ or tre

This is the make or break year for lamelo, they've told him to get stronger. Up to him to accomplish it.

You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year. We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019. I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.

fingers crossed for BlueSky embeds to come with the board update at least all the schedule reveals will be on the youtube

broken link, like the broken one here? LOL if so

or ya know... maybe post from sources and platforms that are not so nakedly political

Which is why I'm all for trading Lamelo. Guy misses half of every season. I swear he just likes to sit on the bench to show off his street clothes. I think it negatively impacts the other guys who do the same. If guys don't want to play, they don't need to be here. Coach and gm need to get stricter

See, I have a different view of it. I think that just the opposite is very true, and often proven on our very own team. Look at the impact that CMC had when he was here. Look at how bring in two top rate IOL to play guard last season made a huge difference in finally getting a stable front for Bryce to live behind. It took a while for it to bear fruit, but those last games were just relevatory. And off ball linebackers like Luke Kuechly, not just running a defense but dictating the game when he's on the field, truly remarkable what a difference that makes. Personally, he had as much or maybe even more to do with that Super Bowl appearance as Cam did. What I see in the NFL is teams trying hard to cover up for a lack of good linebackers by stacking the D-line. But it gives them a crust defense, one that is hard and crunchy on the outside but a feast within. Linebackers shouldn't just rule the middle of the field, but should be directing traffic and working as enforcers. But hey, whatever. "Devalued" positions often come back to bite you in the ass when they are neglected. Ask anyone who has had to clean up the mess left behind by a former college coach who took over a pro team and brought their college recruiting mindset in. Yanno, like Matt Rhule did.

I see it this way--XL was raw. Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL. XL will be more experienced. He will have an offseason of jugs work. He is a very good athlete. He can only get better. Wallace? Same thing. He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S. I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024. Derrick Brown. DE Brown III NT Wharton DE Jones Edge Moehrig S Princely. Edge Scourton. Edge Ransom. S Cam Jackson NT Roseboom LB While we may not know what we have, we know what we don't have--

If he hit the jugs machine, X is going to beast. He got open a lot. He just didn't bring it in consistently.

Must be sweet to play a position when you have former players at the position--studs---there to help you along. Morgan, Luke, TD--wow.
