David Tepper buys the Boston Bruins and turns them into the Carolina Panthers of the NHL.

At this point I need to see the team perform before I get excited about anything.

Super sleeper in fantasy football. Gary Barnidge flashbacks.

Maybe we could draft him a new shoulder at 33. Seriously though, if his shoulder was good, I'd want him back in a heartbeat.

Poyer signed for 2M and was still playing at a high level. Curious to see what we would offer him if we did try and sign.

I think it's how you personally define "plan." There's a fairly clear team direction right now. Get stronger in the middle, get younger and get rid of bad contracts, build through the draft. Once we get past the draft and get our 90 plus pieces, then we'll start building a plan. Can't create an offensive game plan built on speed if you're WR core is running 4.8 40's. No different really than saying you want to take a road trip to the west coast. West is the direction, but until you decide on the city, there really is no plan.

Mike Williams damn sure ain't gonna be cheap after that contract.

Kind of sad how many players of the week came against the Panthers.

Perceived importance of self is more gratifying than actual importance.

great minds

At being injured? I'd say they're about even.

He was but had said he only wanted to be a pass rush specialist and had no interest in playing the run.

You have surpassed Juan for the most tweets not embedded in an OP. Impressive. And no Juan, that's not a fugging challenge.

Jeremy might have to bring back the cargo shorts.

I don't get it either. He's saying what damn near every fan on this message board has said repeatedly. Tepper is a hedge fund guru, not a football guy. The Panthers GM and HC jobs were not going to attract the premium candidates. Morgan and Canales weren't the first choice for any of us. This is about as vanilla an interview about the choices of the Panthers this offseason as I've seen.

I'm in the show me then we'll talk boat. Ever since Tepper bought the team it's been one big hype train after another that have all failed miserably. Want me to get excited about the Panthers again? Win. I prefer my Panthers excitement in Jan/Feb, not April to September.

Hard to find your QB when you have no real offensive philosophy. Rhule was always looking for the guy he could fix and become NFL coaching god, kind of some narcissistic hero complex thing that was never going to work. Then we had Reich and we all saw how that went. The QBs we have had have all played better after leaving here, leading me to conclude that the coaching and offense was a far more significant part of the problem than just the QB.

Confusion or concern would be more appropriate words. Expressing your opinion in a calm rational voice is hardly anger.

This trolling job has about as much effort as Chase Young in the NFC Championship Game.

It's gonna be Mike Williams. He's a good WR2 when he's not banged up, but he's also coming off major injury and you can't pay that kind of cash to a guy that hasn't been able to take full speed contact yet. Add in Allen is Herbert's favorite target by a mile and it should make that choice even easier.

That's how I feel right now. If it was anyone other than the Panthers making this move, I'd think the Steelers got hosed. As it stands, I can't help but wonder what's going to go wrong.

Same place I was at before today. Unless we're winning on the field I don't really care about whether or not we're winning in the offseason.

We have a lot of holes on the roster and the 2 positions that seem to have the most success in the 2nd are OL, specifically IOL, and LB. We've taken care of 2 of those IOL positions in FA with C still being a pressing need. BY, or whoever is passing the ball if we have a real competition in camp, needs someone to catch the damn ball.

I'll be honest. For me it all depends on if Dumpster Dave keeps his nose out of the football business. If he can, 2-3 years is possible if Morgan is a good GM. If he can't, well there's always 2034.
