2025 Draft 8th Pick Soo glad we got T-Mac

The #Panthers are 1 of 5 teams that are very high on @TCUFootball LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr, per @TonyPauline. #KeepPounding Elarms-Orr (6’1 1/2”, 233 LBS) finished the 2025 season with 130 total tackles, 11 TFLs, 4 sacks, 6 QB hits& 2 PBUs. He earned First Team All-Big 12 and led the team in tackles, TFLs & sacks in 2025. The #TCU LB also earned Defensive MVP in the Alamo Bowl. Elarms-Orr formally met with Carolina at the NFL Combine. An intriguing option for the #Panthers. https://x.com/panthersbreakd/status/2044167144389390584?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Thanks what are the other options?

Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.

Yes. However there are other options.

How far is Ruben Bain going to fall? Yikes!

I'm a happy guy.

4 biggest hints Panthers GM Dan Morgan dropped about the 19th pick in his pre-draft presser Second-guessing the favorite? Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq has felt like the odds-on favorite at that 19th overall selection for quite some time. But Morgan made some intriguing comments on the current state of the team's tight end room that may have us second-guessing this potential pairing. "I think we have some guys on our roster that are big targets," Morgan said. "In general, we have guys in our tight end room that we feel are good players and guys that have the skill set to be able to do that. "Whether it's opportunity or whether guys are still developing, I think we have the pieces in that room to be able to do that." Tommy Tremble led all Panthers tight ends with 249 receiving yards in 2025. Carolina has not had a tight end record at least 500 receiving yards since 2019.

Is the game tonight only showing on Amazon Prime tonight?

Would like to see white Kon and melo to combine for 30 3 point attempts. Miller Williams green and miles to have about 12-15 with most of those being miller and williams 0 for James kalk and moose I think 40-45 attempts is where we want to be. Up over 50 is too many unless they are just making everything

You're being a bit hard on him here bro. He drives plenty but he uses it to draw defenses and assist/lob more often than not and it's working. It's not a fluke that so much of the team is shooting well. The game revolves around LaMelo and he's feeding them. We also have a lot of guys who are good at driving to the basket so we don't need him to be Derrick Rose out there. You may have a point with the three chucking but it's too early to call that a huge problem. This is the best the team has looked since Shinn left town.

Traded down once. I'd be happy with this outcome.

Champions league back on

Oddly feeling really good about tonight. fug the heat

Here are my takeaways from the conference (IMO): - Is Dan against taking a WR 3 years in a row? No. Would that be his preference? Also, no. Not by a long shot. - I think draft gurus are wrong. Tight end is not an early priority. They like the guys in the building enough to see them develop, but a later round guy is being looked at (just seemed like he was able to label a couple of guys "talented", but stopped short of suggesting the class is good at the top. Seemed quick to talk about the depth of the class) - If we are taking a DL, it will be in the top 2 rounds. They fall off a cliff at some point soon after. - They are targeting guys in each round. I think we are more likely to move up than down in this draft to prevent missing out on a guy. He doesn't want to give up a lot though, man loves his draft picks. - DBs are a priority. We want to come away with a safety and a nickel. Maybe even a safety that can play nickel. Thieneman sounds more and more like a real possibility, if he is there. We are taking a safety in the first 2 rounds, if I had to put money on it. - Age matters more for 1st round picks, probably (Mesidor), but not for after that (Stukes). - They have a guy or two that they want in the 1st round, but crazy things DO happen in the draft, and they may shift gears and take a different guy if someone falls that they didn't expect to be there. - Character matters. A LOT. If a guy has character concerns of any kind, you can be pretty confident they aren't on our board. They may bring in a guy or two for a visit to gauge the validity/severity of the concern though.

Yeah don't wanna see anyone get hurt. Hopefully Chatters is sitting.

NO is a dark horse IMO. Not sure of how bad their roster is but I think that QB is cerebral and sound. Seems like the kind of guy that can elevate the play around him and figure out how to make the chicken salad. And I hate it.

Ha I know right. It makes since for them to ride out his option years and see if he can take another step forward. If not our next QB steps into a good situation. If you look at Drew Bree's' stats his first 3 seasons in San Diego they're pretty similar to Bryce's and those offenses had a lot of talent. Best case is he takes that same kind of leap now. I don't know if he's got that in him but we're about to find out for sure

Sounds about right for a team that had a bottom 5 passing offense and backed into the playoffs at 4-6.

That honestly seems about right for a betting line.
