My expectation is that he'll be marginally better than last year, but still not very good. For me to have faith in him, he'd need to show tangible improvement over the course of the season and be able to carry the team on his shoulders in at least one game. IMHO a franchise QB should have the ability to elevate the rest of the team and change the tide of a game in a positive way.

Were you tripping balls during the procedure?

Feeling dumber for reading this - thanks for contributing OP.

lol - thanks

I've come to the realization that Tepper is actively trying to run this franchise into the ground. I used to think he was just a moron, but I have to believe that a moron would get lucky and make a sound decision once in a while. I'm more convinced than ever that we are in a real life version of Major League and David Tepper is the owner who is trying to alienate the fanbase.

Tepper has to be trying to purposely run fans off. I believe he's an idiot, but even an idiot lucks into a good thing occasionally. The Carolina Panthers are like the baseball team from Major League - but Dave ain't hot.

On the plus side, Dan and Dave are "managing" this roster back to another #1 pick in 2025.

Actually not tripping. Burns is overrated as fug. With that said, he was a first round pick at a valuable position. The Panthers braintrust just let him walk for a 2nd round pick and a swap of 5ths (if I read correctly). I'm trippin over the continued ineptitude of this front office. Burns was the highest rated FA on at least one site's board. I refuse to believe that some team wouldn't pay more than a 2nd round pick. Then again, Dan Morgan and David Tepper appear to be dumb enough that they were probably always going to get fleeced. Heck - I'm honestly happy to see Burns' quitter butt off the team along with his idiot brother/hypeman

Heard he changed "Mom's spaghetti" to "Ben's spaghetti".

I doubt they're feeling glad right now - although if they think they dodged a bullet they may be.

Josina Anderson proving that she's in the know again....

That was Miles Sanders-esque by Gibbs

If you remove fandom it honestly makes sense. We have a terrible owner, a bad roster, and we're tied to a QB that leaves a lot to be desired. WFT has draft assets, a better roster, and no Tepper. I hate it because I think he'll be a good coach.

Welp - guess I need to add Campen into the Panthers Game of Thrones

It's wild to me that one of Tepper's rats is the same dude coaching one of the absolutely worst units on the team. If I did my job as poorly as Campen did last season, I'd duck every time my boss came nearby. I wonder if this reporting has anything to do with Dave & Nicole always observing OL practice?

Too bad he can't take all the dead money with him.

100% We should've known when Tepper bought the team that winter was coming.

Dude - I tried to think of who could be Jon Snow but unless a coach/player comes in from humble beginnings to change the direction of the franchise I don't know who it would be. Jon Snow was actually the second character I tried to make.

Possibly. I was trying to think about the fact that Tepper is eventually going to scapegoat him for something that he does because Tepper asked him to, so Ned seemed like a reasonable choice.

I keep seeing references to the Panthers' Game of Thrones this offseason and I couldn't help but imagine Jim Caldwell as Lord Varys. I decided to photoshop a few other folks who are vying for the iron throne. Lord Varys - Jim Caldwell Nicole - Cersei Lannister Dan Morgan - Ned Stark (aka we know he's getting set-up and killed, we just don't know when) Tepper - The Mad King

I think you're spot on @Mr. Scot - which doesn't bode well for the future of a franchise we all love.
