Boom

We definitely dont need to be drafting any TEs this time around we have way too many pressing needs. Also when your QB is barely making 3k passing yards and one guy has 1k of those in McMillan its kind of hard for any of the other 10 or so guys to get over 400 yards.

Im in that area (joco) ended up with a woman's six inches lol

It buys us time (if needed), that's all. An extension makes no sense. We are not moving on from Bryce for the '26 season, everyone knows that. The 5th year option gives us some flexibility for '27 for a crazy scenario for not being able to find his replacement. He's the fallback plan if everything else fails, period.

We got about 8". What sucks for me is that directly to the south of my house is a small mountain so this time of year we get minimal direct sunlight on the house and driveway. There's still 2-3" of sleet underneath this snow. Gonna take a serious warm spell for it to clear off. My small plow had nothing for all that sleet. The overall driveway is almost half a mile long. I'm parking the Land Cruiser down by the pond to avoid having to drive uo the last 75 yards or so to the house which is the steepest part. That's probably gonna be the status quo for the foreseeable future. I need a stretch of days in the 50s with night time temps that aren't getting below freezing.

I will say it fir the 100th time. Picking up the 5th year option makes no sense and is fuging stupid

Dude is sandwiched between Blaine Gabbert and Joey Harrington and people are debating whether to only pick up a $26 mill option, or if we should go ahead and give him a multi-year extension

Why have lights on the seats??

The stadium was full, but for some reason they had lights on the seats so you couldn't see the audience, it was really off putting. The woman's match felt like it lasted 3 days.. there was just nothing to cheer for. I fell asleep during Gunther match, he is the biggest nothing I ever seen in WWE. He's like a less charismatic JBL.. Boring . Roman winning was OK, it just felt like it should've been LA knights time to shine.

Zero expectations. B2b, matinee, quality opponent (who also played last night), and giving up a ridiculous number of SOG. None of this bodes well for the Canes. Prove me wrong.

What value does David Newton bring? All he does is regurgitate information provided here and other sources. No real insight or analysis provided that we don’t already know. He’s supposedly an insider without real insider knowledge.

it is. It sucks watching the other qbs in the playoffs and how they move and throw in the weather and thinking we have no shot in our current qb situation.

Kmet for XL straight up. We need a proven TE and I don't want us reaching this draft. If we take a day 3 flyer again, okay, but not on day 1 or day 2. Much bigger needs with those three picks over a TE. Also, we need production now, not production in a year or two. Hey, this worked out well for us once before. "Carolina hasn't gotten a season of at least 400 receiving yards out of one of their tight ends since 2019. (Yeah, when Greg Olsen was still around.)" https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/01/31/nfl-trade-rumors-panthers-bears-cole-kmet/88446124007/

It’s because they aren’t sexy picks and they make those picks for bad teams, like us, because they don’t know our roster composition. You don’t continue to pour your high end resources on a 3 man front.

A lot of mocks are zeroing in on us taking Woods or McDonald. I don't love either of those guys. At this point, Styles does not make past #15 with Dallas the most common landing spot. The Saints are the favorites to land Bailey. The top tier OTs are always gone, with Lomu creeping up on some mocks. He may make it to a top 20 prospect. I am really leaning to a move back. If mocks are stating that Woods and McDonald are the best fit on the board for us at #19, we could move back several spots and land someone just as good, if not possibly one of those guys anyways.

Just win

I think if you go OT it has to be someone who is proven to play on the left. At pick 20 you might have Lomu or Proctor there. Lomu has great feet, will he handle the power of the NFL? Proctor has the power, does he have the agility to stay at tackle?

While I really hope things pan out for the young man, sometimes you've got to make a calculated guess on your returns. I wanted so bad to see us use our first round pick on a LB, C or TE this season, but I think this one injury changes everything. I might suggest taking the best and the second best OTs available in the draft with our first and second round picks. The injury to Icky really makes the first one a good choice and an affordable one. And Moton, who is long in the tooth, needs someone in the wings behind him. This also means that BC is going to need to get a contract for this upcoming season both as a starter at LT and to train the younger player behind him. Also it means that we need to extend a solid contract to Cade Mays and lock him down as our Center for the next four years. Maybe Icky can recover fully and be a starting LT again, but the odds aren't in his favor. Maybe he could be back in line to play as a guard right as our current starters' contracts wind down. It's not pretty having to spend all your picks and money on the line, but it seems to be the wise investment in light of everything.

Unfortunate situation. if one of the top LTs fall in the draft I think it’s a no brainer draft pick. Then if icky returns he can move to guard and replace one of our highly paid guards that are here now.

I dont really expect anyone to have any character or values when the system doesn't. I would respect those who did though. College Football is losing what little interest I had in it. I wasn't against giving the athletes some control but whatever this system is will kill it over time.

I think having consistency and keeping most of the unit is key to success and one reason the oline did not fall apart despite all the injuries. Was it 11 different combinations? Have to give credit to the O-line coach also. but... an aging unit, probably mean a higher risk of injuries. So with a unit of 9 players, cant just add vets to the group. Then you probably end up with having to draft multiple players some drafts.

Snowed a lot in Wilmington as of 2am

Okie dokie brokie.

Man, I wish I could comment more educated on this. Seems like you nailed it. Like I said, I haven't really followed it since like 2016 when my company did an exclusive Finn Balor metal die cast toy figure with Toys R Us. That seems like when it all died.
