I think about 11 for me, not quite the old timer some of y’all are but not that far off

My man. I’m with ya, as long as the huddle exists I think it’s the best option for panthers discussion and news. I’ve definitely become much less active since Tepper turned the team to poo and if I lived in NC and had panthers fan friends and acquaintances to talk panthers with maybe I wouldn’t be on much but for an out of towner it’s a great resource for discussing the team and despite some of the clowns here there are plenty of good dudes and discussion

Yes without a doubt especially after investing so much in the offense lately despite all the bullshit from Tepper and co about how he’s a point guard and doesn’t need help yada yada

I’m still not convinced Bryce is the guy but I don’t think there have been any great options for us to bring in for competition. Bryce is the guy this year unless he shows he isn’t then we have Dalton, but in that case we are realistically looking at 2026 QBs anyways.

No winners here

You’re top dawg!?!?!? poo bro I thought you were just gone

Considering our season was already over we probably should’ve just held him out his whole rookie year. I honestly can’t complain about that pick, I like the idea of trying to get an elite talent at RB on day 2 it just stinks he got hurt again immediately after debuting for us. Teams can get starters on day 2 obviously but more often than not those picks do not wind up working out, so comparing him to a starting LB is silly as it could easily go the opposite way and the other guy we pick could be a scrub not even worthy of being a backup. Brooks could still contribute to this team positively in a year and a half, he’s a talented kid

I’m fully expecting to get poo’d here but at what point do we consider him as Bryce insurance?

What was the trade?

It’s a shame they didn’t just keep camp at Wofford indefinitely

I've been out to lunch on this draft cycle but I love the idea of an elite tight end prospect. They really can change an offense and have an extraordinary impact. I like Sanders and think he could still develop into a legit above average starter but it absolutely would not hurt to have 2 really good TEs

Romo used to be solid but has been incredibly annoying to me that last few years. Gruden was the best in the last 10-15 years that's for sure.

yeah I know, personally I just lump all announcers together and pretty much can't stand listening to most of them and just mute the TV. I will listen to Harlan and Greg though.

I'm partial to Kevin Harlan but Greg is awesome and 100x what Brady is

didn't both Gates and Graham come from basketball?

would be an interesting cheap depth signing but he didn't play last year and although there were some claims he was "retired" I think it was due to lack of legit interest from around the league

Honestly if we only win 5 games I think he'd get rid of Canales and/or Morgan, showing yet again the fuging moron has no idea how to run an NFL team

ok sure but every single fan base has their share of over-optimists and doomers, Panthers fans are not unique in that regard

We have not historically been a team that many considered to have "won" any offseasons. Most of the years we were really good were pretty unexpected and the years we sucked were fully expected. Pre-Tepper we were a much better team than we got credit for -- media/fans would lump us in with the Bills, Browns, Lions, etc. of that era despite having 2 SB appearances and other playoff success (just not sustained). Since Tepper took over we are obviously the worst team in all of the 4 major sports and it's no secret either. We've been getting clowned on pretty much every year since Tepper fired Ron, so not sure what you're referring to in terms of "won" offseasons.

yeah on the field dude was an absolute monster and is IMO a top 5 all time WR. What he was able to accomplish in his career with the QBs he had and literally never playing in a pass-first offense was unbelievable. Also set the tone for winning and actually giving a poo about winning -- something I cannot say at all about our passive fuging players the last half decade. Luke was actually very similar in that regard (on the field). The difference was Luke could obviously just immediately switch personalities into "normal person" mode and Steve can't. Based on everything I've seen he's a douche off the field but still one of my top 3-5 favorite players of all time. Nothing he does will change that.

My exact reaction

He gets a bad rap because of the SB which was 100% on Ron/Shula not adjusting and getting him help. Dude was great for a waiver wire pickup veteran UDFA.

In a vacuum each of the guard contacts is fine and don't get me wrong I love investing in OL and DL, but I'm not really a fan of paying 2 guards big $. Pay your tackle(s), go younger/cheaper on the interior. But otherwise generally agree

Kupp seems like a no brainer

I would've just kept Hekker but whatever
