Joe Bear

Can he play C?

Isn’t he also the one with the lowest broken tackle rate? Another Mingo?

He refuses to admit when he's wrong, so he simply creates alternative realities where his lousy prognostications panned out. Why would a player win OROY if he only played well for half a damn season? If T-Mac played well for half a season he'd have given the Panthers a D-... Another great example. From Week 1 to Week 18, he listed the Panthers as one of the NFL's most overrated teams. BY WHO?

Where are the concerns about work ethic and passion for football? Are they in the room with us now?

If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".

Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned. However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year? Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php

I would love for the fullback to become a thing again but Tremble would fill that role if it did.

No, they spend $150 on one at F1 races.

37 seconds is not much time for anybody but the top 5 QBs. Bryce isn’t a top-5 QB, and a WR dropped a 20-yard pass on fourth down.

I'm so sick of seeing former players go there. I hate that team.

Meh the Panthers could've gotten prime Pat Mahomes, prime Jerry Rice and prime Walter Payton and that might've been good for 14th.

A DBs coach?

Davis Cheek is an example of a camp body.

Are you serious? There's no way we were getting more than a 1st and a 2nd. Be realistic.

He downgraded for sure.

He's a male. He identifies as a punter.

He traveled around on a skateboard and changed jersey numbers three times. (Also wore 89)

Rae wasn't a good enough player to get away with it.

Frankly I'm surprised he's still a color guy on the preseason broadcasts. It was like nothing happened. Kinda like December 2002.

He blocked a field goal against the Bucs.

I don’t hate it. Yet?

It’s past time to accept that Juan is Adam Schefter.

Kenny Pickett didn’t play for UNC.

You’re by far my favorite journalist.

Personally I don’t understand why Dan didn’t simply sign Pat Mahomes. That would assuage every fan’s concern, nothing more, nothing less.
