Social Media destroyed the need for a 24/7 news channel. Them and the rest of legacy media can go kick rocks as far as I am concerned. We are better off without them

You are right. Just to play devils advocate, I would say its hard to be overly aggressive on defense to force turnovers when you know you cannot afford to give up big plays due to an inept offense. But for sure the defense is not perfect.

I think Evero needs a round of applause for the work he has done this season. Panthers Defense has been OUTSTANDING this season IMO. Considering Shaq got hurt, offense never gave them any help, jaycee was in and out all year, etc, etc, etc. I think his job holding that unit together is admirable and we haven't heard much praise directed to him this year and he deserves it. I also don't think it's a coincidence that Derrick Brown’s performance EXPLODED this year, and he ended up having a historic season.The defense was just the one thing I felt super confident about most of the year, did not start off that way but ended up with a lot of trust in them as a unit. There were some bad of course, but I just think overall he has done exceptional. IMO, if anyone is deserving of the HC job it's him.

This dude could be just as dynamic as Corderalle Patterson minus the return game. I just DO NOT understand why we dont use him that way.

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not a truth." Keep this in mind as you scroll this dumpster fire of a forum. Most "prognosticators" on here want to write off a 20 year old who has been given an insurmountable task. And it sure as poo isnt going to help if most of the fan base turns on him after 3 starts. For those of you who want to keep some reason in mind, go look at Peyton Manning, Drew Brees or Josh Allen's stats thier rookie years. And for those who like instant gratification, look at Jameis Winston or Jared Goff. Great rookie seasons but lack luster afterwards considering where they were drafted. I could go on and on with examples, but if you need more then there is no help for you anyways. Sometimes it takes a while, sometime it doesnt. A good season early in the career means about as much as a terrible one. Bryce needs weapons, a Front Office who will help him and some fans with patience and perspective. Right now he has none of those. Lets change that shall we?

You know, we are dependent upon a injury prone Chark, an old vet in Thielen, and two young unknowns in Mingo and Marshall to support Young. There was no reason we shouldnt have went after Hopkins and that and what we have now is 100% on Scott and the FO.

I dont think the switch from 4-3 to 3-4 is the issue, I think its that we cant stop teams running on us. Granted Burns and Houston wasnt out there, but even last year we got torched on the ground and I dont see a pick or signing this offseason to correct it.

So the guy who built this place goes COMPLETELY MIA when things got rough, then comes back and tells us to relax?? oh ok, thanks for that advice mr tik tok

I mean Smith can still go off during preseason and make the team. Lets see what he can do in a game, who cares about updates from training camp....

Smitty just RIPPING Rhule is awesome lol

Colts or Texans games. Cool to see two young QBs battle it out, might be an early rivarly in the making...

Jake is such a great dude! Wouldn't it have been cool if both Jake and Cam were able to do the interview with Bryce? Would have been just a wholesome moment between them. Super excited for the future!

Can you feel that? That warm, cozy feeling? Feels kind of like when you pee in a pool and coat yourself in the warmth of your own piss……. I know I am not the only one... As many of us around here know, that feeling is hope, and it doesn’t come around a whole lot. Last time this happened the Panthers took an all time great. A MVP, record breaking QB who won our hearts after that opening game. But that time is long gone, we are back to square one. But this time with one of the best staffs in the NFL (if not the best), reliable weapons, a competent o-line, and a hungry, dynamic defense. If you are not as excited, hopeful and eager for Thursday night and this season as I am, then your brain-dead saints fan who loves giving more than receiving. The NFC South is up for grabs, and we are primed to take it! Be excited, happy for whoever we take, and support our team at one of the most hopeful and exciting times we have as fans of this team. The Carolina Panthers are on the clock, and are getting ready to put the NFC ON NOTICE!!!!!!

Sometimes picking the first QB is worse/harder than picking 2nd. There is a lot of pressure to get it RIGHT and in that, comes a lot of second guessing. Panthers are panicking in that FO, just due to the pressure of making sure you get the right guy.

Josh Downs! I'd be ecstatic
