I agree they don’t give a poo about the panthers. I do think being a cookie cutter older white dude has everything to do with him landing and keeping that job, subconsciously or not by ESPN. Not trying to turn this into a tinderbox discussion, just wondering to myself how he even has this job after all these years of being god awful.

David Newton is such an idiot. Imagine falling into a job covering a professional sports team for the largest sports media company in the country and being terrible at that job with no repercussions. Sounds about white.

Fwiw I went back and read several 2017 mock drafts from major outlets, and nearly every one had Mitch as the first QB going off the board, followed by Watson and then Mahomes falling into the 20s. Walter football even said many teams had a second round grade on Mahomes. The consensus was Mahomes would need a few years to sit on the bench to learn the game. Well a few years later and Mahomes is vying for his second MVP and second Super Bowl. All that to say, no one knows who the hell is going to be the best QB in this class and it very may damn well be Trey Lance.

Love the aggressiveness. The Panthers have never had an owner and FO with this mindset, and they’ve also never had consecutive winning seasons in 25 years. It’s about time we had an FO and owner truly devoted to a sustained winning culture. We’ll see if they can get it done.

hence why I said “maybe”

Chinn, Burns and Brown I assume are untouchable. Maybe they’d take CMC instead.

The only thing for certain is no one including the NFL GMs know what the fug is going to happen until draft night.

Rams feel like they’re a QB away from a super bowl. Can’t be mad at them going all-in for it.

I somehow like Rhule more after seeing those videos. Did that guy really write an article about a football coach yelling at players?

Damn right. Accountability starts at the top, and under prior ownership/coaching it was always “missed opportunities” or an owner more concerned with the bottom line than a winning team.

what stats besides the total number of game winning drives? How about Rivera’s W/L record in games decided by a touchdown or less between 2011-2015? That seems much more relevant as the quarterback can’t control a defense allowing the other team to score.

I mean, it’s literally a direct knock on Cam. “As great as Cam could be he was worse than Delhomme at fourth quarter comebacks”. That’s almost word for word Voth’s tweet. It is a dumb stat, and just a stat, but it feels like a holdover from the same old BS narratives folks have had about Cam since he came into the league.

Pretty disingenuous to knock Cam for a lack of fourth quarter comebacks. Numerous times he would get the team ahead only to have the defense blow it at the end. Or Deangelo Williams fumble. Or Ron just horribly mismanaging every aspect of the game.

Oh no, we suck again. Surprise surprise

Fwiw I asked a couple friends, two who are lions fans and two packers fans and they all really like stafford and echoed Gantt’s take.

This roster is just not very good, but at least we have two players to build around in Ball and Hayward. Bridges reminds me too much of Gerald Henderson. Being an explosive dunker only gets you so far. Washington looks like a player just happy to be there. No killer instinct whatsoever. He’d be a bench player on any western conference playoff team. Graham and Rozier have nice flashes but are way to inconsistent. Again, they seem more fit to be bench players on any decent NBA team. Zeller and Biyombo, not playoff quality starters. As someone on twitter said last night, this team plays hard but they don’t play smart.

He’s not wrong. Go look at any draft in the past ten years and you see a whole bunch of randos mixed with solid players between picks 20-40.

Fug yes. Look what Beane did in Buffalo with the Diggs trade. How many offseasons with Cam did we dream about Carolina trading for or acquiring a marquee WR?

First and second choice would be Watson or drafting a QB in the top ten, but outside of that Stafford would be a solid option that could make this team a playoff contender right away. I think with Joe Brady calling plays and the skill players on the roster, Stafford could take this team to the next level.

He’ll wind up with the Chiefs or something, play well and win a Super Bowl.

The bookies agree

I’d start with at least two decks of plastic cards. Plastic will be way more durable and don’t crease or stain like your standard paper cards. You want to play with two decks so you can always have a shuffled deck ready to play after each hand instead of holding up play to shuffle. Of course a decent set of chips. With that you’re good to go. If you have the space a felt oval poker table would be great for the game. That’s about the minimum you need but of course every good poker game should have access to at least one TV for sports and plenty of drinks and food. Also I’m assuming this is just for a friendly tournament game. If it’s a cash game you may look into finding someone who will work as the permanent dealer.

Yep no-limit. I’ll shoot you a dm with details

Anybody here play a little cards? I’ve got a group I play with if you’re interested in playing cash games with an established group. $1/2 NL and PLO, multiple tables running nightly and freeroll every Sunday.
