saX man

He can eat the dough. But I do wonder what type of language is in the contract regarding performance and whatnot. There's $34 million remaining in Rhule's contract after this season. Don't forget Tepper is now at 22-42 as an owner, that's gotta start feeling sh*tty in a major way soon. 10-24 of that falls on Rhule, it's just so much shart.

Here's going to be a popular one IMO: GRAYSON MCCALL 6'3 215 from Indian Trail, NC and is only 22 (Levis is 2.5 years older FYI) Currently at 72% in the air avg with a 10.3 ypp 6 TD to 1 INT Agile, good pocket awareness, and beautiful arm

There would certainly be a parade. A parade of excrement from the rear of the virtual Panther after he scales the stadium.

Hi all, I recently retreated. I would like recaps of the last week for the Panthers in either written form, meme or video. Cordially, Sax

Yes yessssssss

Game breaker: Luvu

I’m going full sax, I’ve taken it all back. Sax will return in force.

Mushy much is a mushy smudge in the mushy swamp of the mushy front; how dare you sir. How dare you!

I feel oddly good about this year. Much like that time at the renaissance fair. I love you all. Sax takes: Panthers 23 Browns 18 Panthers record: 11-6 Onion pants

I think you should really watch calling Mrs Much pretty. It’s pretty insensitive.

Baker time!

Thank you Ladypanther for your post.

Nettles and Daemon’s kin branched the true silent bloodline

Gonna be a muddy mudbeans of madness.

Win win by two score, CMC and Tremble score our TDs. YGM records 1.5 sacks Baker goes around 250 2 TDs 1 int

Sam Ehlinger supplants Ryan in Indy and balls out with Taylor & Pittman. We go 8-9 but keep Rhule and extend Mayfield and no one is happy Rodney Cowpipe has a conniption

Will Levis 6'3 232 Had a nice line against Miami (OH). Didn't actually catch the highlights but he still seems to be throwing right along after the departure of Wandale Robinson. Tayvion Robinson looks to be his new weapon.

CJ Stroud 6'3 215 OSU An OSU quarterback that may translate to the big leagues?? Dare that be the case? He looked very solid against a strong opponent week 1. Didn't blow the lid off but made zero mistakes in a high stakes game to start the year. Momentum looks good for Stroud to be QB1. Tyler Van Dyke 6'4 225 Miami Had a flawless game against an inferior opponent. Effortless. Looks very strong out of the gate. Bryce Young 6'1 195 Alabama Obliterated Utah State with 6 touchdowns, 5 in the air. Love how he moves in the pocket. He just looks cool doing the QB thing, love the footwork and throwing motion. Just a smooth operated. Balanced, comfortable. Anthony Richardson 6'4 232 Florida Beat a strong Utah game in a close one. Huge game on the ground, mistake free in the air. *to add more

You’re latching on to that one line huh? haha. It wasn’t anything written. Just listen to what I referenced if you have an open mind to hear an unbiased outsiders perspective. And I’m not even being doom and gloom, it’s a relatively sober look at our situation.

I expect a top-12 secondary with this group, increased takeaways. LB group with strong development from Brandon Smith. Shaq & Xavier are the leaders, with hopefully Brown becoming one as well. Also, if we keep running these odd formations 3-2-6, 3-3-5, etc., Derrick Brown & YGM need to step up their run games in a BIG way. Those formations leave us susceptible. We got the LBs we did to help with things, Chinn to operate in the box in these scenarios, and I think Wilson & Smith will be huge for us in that respect. Line wise, Haynes also needs to keep it up and step into a bigger role. Key Growth Dudes: Derrick Brown - Needs to improve YGM - Is great when he plays, needs to stay out there and healthy Brandon Smith - Huge potential & ceiling. Step Up/Important Increased Role Players: Frank Luvu on the outside Marquis Haynes as our pass rusher to replace Reddick CJ Henderson/Taylor as CB3/4

If we go 8-9/9-8, no playoffs and Baker looks good enough, it puts us arguably in the toughest spot to be in. This is the season we need to decide: Are we simply able to win a bit with the guys we have or do we have guys that can lead us to where we need to go (staff and core players)? If it's the former, then we need to move on. That's the deciding factor for Tepper this season from my view. Would a season with that record and an above average season for Baker really merit signing him to a multi-year deal? Also, the floor expectation for Baker is different than the floor for Rhule which makes it tricky. So if Baker looks good, but the overall team underachieves again, do we really rework contracts, move on from other talent to throw a fancy contract at him? And then possibly find a new coach? It's just a tough spot even if we improve a bit. We need to outperform expectations to feel successful and my expectation is a winning season and playoff berth. Maybe we pull it off. I'm lukewarm.

Again, we've elevated our team, it's a solid roster, could be a wildcard. Some great core pieces and the defense (especially DBs) is promising. But where is this hodgepodge of a situation going? I don't see how asking that is some off-putting take, it's reality. Could be decent, elevated our floor, but we're not contending. And I'm sorry, but I don't see what this bigger picture overarching plan/process is. It doesn't take disliking Rhule to see this, hence why my posts are referencing an outsider take of one of the most in-depth sports podcasts in the country. People see what the deal is. We've reworked the offense (again), new QB (again) new OC, and it seems more promising than the first few attempts. I'm not saying they need to spell anything out for us, it just doesn't seem like there's been much of a multi-phased plan. It's pretty clear, just different swings each year. What's the plan on offense? Heck, what type of offense do we want to run? What is the ideal personnel? Where does this "build" we've done actually go? We're over the 2023 cap with only Corral's rookie deal on the books at QB. We've just been taking different stabs at different QBs, we've had continuous turnover. I just don't think we have a plan. I mean, the new OC has had 1 consulting position for 1 season in the NFL since 2017. I will give the situation time, and we could have a winning record with a good find in Baker, but is that going to look like a long term solution? Baker & Rhule? I'm ready to go, ready to see some better football from us. We'll see, but they've got more to prove than to sustain.

This is the concise core truth of the last 3 years.

Success will utlimately fall on: 1) Coaching Improvement 2) Defensive talent following through 3) OL, CMC, Baker & DJ staying healthy If those three things coalesce, we've got a shot. Who knows, I can see anything from 6-11 to 11-6. Realistic ceiling being ~10 wins. Just think we need someone to step up outside of CMC and Moore to keep this offense moving along.
