"Trash" is very much hyperbole, I would never "trash" Stew. I must admit, however, that "Homer" is the better word, especially with the realization of what's happening in America during these times. Sensitivities are up.

damn thats cold

NFL has been setting up the Josh Allen super bowl narrative for a while. It will either be bills Rams or bills Seahawks in the super bowl.

stolen from the reddit: also stolen:

J. Stew is mostly homer and also isn't ever going to be a neutral party for a ton of reasons. On the Panthers payroll, ACTUAL fan of the team, experience as an NFL player, etc, etc. Leave the man and his opinions alone and don't trash a former Panthers great for something so trivial. You don't have to agree. He isn't trying to brainwash anyone.

The “news” media is in a sad state. My opinions on what news media should be vs. what entertainment media should be is very different. I don’t need objectivity in my sports media, and I don’t really care about any teams other than the ones I root for. I was also very vocally critical towards the end of the season about how stupid our local media was for every week something went good for us talking to our coach and team like they had already clinched the division when there were many weeks left. However, I don’t need a member of the Panthers media team to fake any objectivity or hold back compliments from Panthers players just because I feel some type of way, and I do think it would be better for the team’s brand if our former players in the media threw away the mask of over objectivity. Other former players for other organizations don’t, but since we’re just the little ol Panthers we have to accept that? No thanks.

I mean its arguable hes not a starter (I did not say high level starter) but hes deff good enough to be a back up raging isn't gonna change being stuck with him, just hope for the best.

No hes a career panther whose loyalty to the team makes him a lifelong fan..... hes just a homer

It's divisional eve, so let's get some early thoughts and predictions in. Predictions Buffalo 24, Denver 23 San Francisco 20, Seattle 12 Houston 27, New England 13 Chicago 31, St. Louis(yes) 28 Thoughts - Josh Allen has probably never had an easier path of opposing QB's in his NFL career. Nix and Stroud/Maye are all very young, very unproven in the playoffs and haven't been in the same big game situations that Allen has. I am not saying this is his year, but I am not envisioning many years in the future where he is going to avoid Jackson and Mahomes. - SF vs. Seattle is a fun test of two extremely TO prone gunslingers. I give the edge to SF, despite their elite defense because I suspect that Darnold will be unable to recover from his mistakes the same way Purdy sometimes is. Darnold is averaging 174 yards passing and has 0 total TD's against SF this season. - CJ Stroud was exceptionally bad versus the Steelers. 3 sacks, 5 fumbles(2 lost) and 1 INT. Maye also struggled tremendously with 3 TO's. Which defense will be able to take advantage of the young QB's more effectively? I am leaning towards Houston and their +17 TO differential defense(2nd in the NFL). - Bears/Rams just has Rams blowout written all over it. Sound familiar? We also were able to make St. Louis(YES) have to fight and claw for a victory. In a gunslinging battle, that obviously favors Matt Staf.... Caleb Williams has amassed an incredible 7 4th Quarter Comebacks and Game Winning Drives in the 2025 regular and postseason. And these aren't Bryce Young GWDs. He has seemed to have an extra gear that is hard to fathom considering he had the lowest CPOE in the NFL during the regular season and an insane -14.0 CPOE in the comeback win versus Green Bay. There is just something about this kid. Bears win.

I don't think its lazy its a lack of chemistry due to the pairings being in a blender all year and not having enough RHD

Oh if its Freddie they are gonna push our sh*t in

I'd take a two fer with him and Panarin. Although as stated Elsewhere I think Schenn and Tuch make more sense for the post season.

I like him too, but I'm still skeptical of his take. It's too early to be saying that in my opinion, based upon lingering questions over three seasons. Depending upon which stats/metrics you give credence to, Bryce is still bottom third of the league.

I like J-Stew soo I'm here for it lol

I hope we don’t reach for an edge at #19. I feel like this draft has a lot of edge talent day 2.

Not trying to be flippant, but what the hell is a Pass Game Coordinator? On a team where the HC calls the plays, wht do we even need an OC, much less a PGC? ABC, possibly, hopefully: Anybody but Canales.

My, oh my, you've turned cynical.

Well I'll be... Push me over with a feather.

Anyone who thinks Bryce Young is good enough to be a professional QB is either stupid, or being paid to act stupid.

No I’m serious. Troch would make this team better with his grit and skill. He was a favorite of mine but see nothing online.

A career long panther player wants the team to succeed and spews positivity in hope of the teams good fortune. What a shame. Fire him into the sun. Can’t have that going on here in this state.

I mean, Bryce had a good game, but the problem is is that they are too too far in between. Moreover, you realize that defenses will continue to stack the box (which we have seen far too many times the last three seasons) when they don't believe that the QB will beat them. 20 yards is either hyperbole, or incorrect.

Like I mentioned in another post, all players, coaches and execs don't agree all the time, so having your fingers on the pulse of the team because you know people isn't necessarily a litmus test for what is still ultimately an opinion.

And remember how the vast majority of us here on this board spend a lot of time in the locker room, on the bench and going out to dinner with the current players and coaches of the team. Who better than us to have our fingers on the pulse of what's really happening in the real Panthers. Sometimes our surety of statements around here gets so very, very thick.
