Got about 8in in Wilmington. I love it because my kids are wiped out from playing in the snow this morning and I might get a free afternoon haha

Snowed a lot in Wilmington as of 2am

The LT is a tough call. It depends how much they want to spend on what might be a 1 year rental, or potentially a long term solution. Personally I prefer signing Nijman and drafting a first round tackle with Moton getting up there

I’ll be honest I didn’t even know who Nijman was in August

I am in favor of re-signing Cade Mays but it seems like he will test free agency. Re-signing Nijman is the top priority.

Sucks for Icky but given the seriousness of the injury it’s very likely the first round pick will be a tackle. If the Panthers re-sign Icky for anything other than a reasonably priced prove-it contract after his option year is up, it’ll be a horrendous decision.

lol Ron Rivera. He’s honestly just the right coach to fix a toxic culture for a year or two if that’s what they are able to get. Ron is a good guy, not a good head coach especially that this point in his career.

I would have been such a big fan of Drake Maye if he was on like 27 other teams. Why couldn’t a team I don’t actively hate have drafted him? Why couldn’t the PANTHERS have done everything they could to draft the hometown kid instead of a 5’9 QB who isn’t tall enough to be able to read a defense? I’m glad the Panthers are better than dogshit now but the wounds from the past mistakes cut deep and the scars won’t ever fully heal.

I made this thread and I stick by it. Darnold looked like garbage at the end of 2021. But the entire Panthers franchise has been garbage for so long it doesn’t even matter who was the QB. It’s clear the team needs a QB so good the putrid stench of ineptitude doesn’t phase them, IE Cam Newton.

It truly is infuriating and they’ve passed on an insane amount of 2nd round centers in favor of mostly players who don’t make it in the NFL

The Browns are scrambling to find a coach to interview to satisfy the Rooney rule and none of the candidates are better than Evero which is super sad for them and maybe good for us

He said pass rush is the number 1 need and considering that is one of the main reasons they lost the playoff game I would agree. Rams didn’t let Derrick Brown beat them on the final drive a second time and the panthers have no one else who can get to the QB consistently

If Josh Allen comes too sure

Low key they might end up offering the job to Evero.

Titans are probably pissed that they hired Saleh and then McDermott became available. McDermott might take a year off but I could see him landing any one of the available openings right now.

Edge or DT isn’t a bad decision. There aren’t many positions they could draft in the first round that would be a bad idea outside maybe CB and HB

Stats back up he was the best corner on the team easily. Passed Horn by a mile this year. WAY better tackler.

He would be a minor improvement over Evero. Still known for soft ass defense in critical moments.

Bryce played at New England on a beautiful 70 degree September day and CJ played them on a sleety 32 degree day in January. It’s ok to admit the situations are not the same

Statistically, Bryce should NOT be a starting QB, and the consistency shows that. He shows up against favorable secondaries, and disappears against good ones. Hopefully now the team is focused on giving him better receivers and the receivers will win games on their own, ala Steve Smith type receivers, and he won’t be as big of a liability. That’s asking a lot for a #1 overall pick QB to need that of course. Whe we just had a QB before Bryce that took teams to the playoffs with Brenton Bersin and Kaylin Clay as his top receivers

Nah. A road playoff game against a very good New England team in very bad weather without his top two receivers and a banged up offensive line. They couldn’t get the run game going and he was trying to do too much. Houston spent all their resources on defense and it shows. If you put Bryce in that same game without McMillian and Coker, it might have been even worse than CJ’s performance.

It's a catch. Just barely. Great catch

Gah the Bears hearts about to get ripped out. Hell of a game.

Williams is twice the QB Bryce will ever be and it makes me sad. Stroud is also a better QB despite what happened today. The dumbass takes I see about how bad CJ is because he had a couple bad games in the playoffs without his top two receivers, one of them being in very bad weather conditions on the road, it's like everyone forgot Bryce threw for 54 f*cking yards against the Seahawks a few weeks ago. Bryce going up to New England in January without McMillian and Coker would be an epic disaster.

Ryan Clark made a good point that the offense around CJ isn’t helping him at all. There’s no running game, his top receivers are out, the pressure is heavy. But he’s making rookie mistakes. Gotta bench him.
