Hate it based on not a single vet edge.

 

Another tough year for our DC. 

As always guys will come available that no one expects as other teams go through their cuts too. I think we'll pick up a cheaper vet edge later in the summer.

I'd have liked to just keep Clowney but I get the reasoning behind cutting him and I don't think it's gonna hurt the team much at all.

can we sue tepper for continued emotional distress over a long period of time, as well as PTSD

Sub 7 ypa is just unacceptable 

I hope that DC makes his son pay him back the $100k

By the way Thomas--err, t96, I ain't leaving until I'm dead, man.

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

Do you remember the asking price by chance? 

I would assume Igo has to be making some money, or the site wouldn't be worth buying. The site must be at least have to be self-sustaining. I wouldn't even want it if it wasn't at least that. 

The only way I would figure that Igo would neglect the site as he has is that he has lost interest, but the site is still making money on a small margin, enough to pay for itself under current conditions, and/or he needs the money--- or is simply using the money for other things and bleeding it dry. It may be to the point that he doesn't want to put any more resources into it because it would actually cost him money. I don't know, all I can do is speculate. I do know that the site needs to be fixed. I just got my year's badge under an alt. That's crazy. It's been a year since I lost access to my regular account, and nothing has been done. Well, I guess "Top Dawg" is no more. LOL 

Igo probably just has a lot going on. At least he says he's going to right the ship. We'll see. 

 

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

Shedeur still hanging out in his basement? Damn

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

carolina literally traded  a bag of doritos to pick him

What was the trade?

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

It isn’t hard to project. Take Warren, Dan. This isn’t hard. The defensive picks on the line are talented deep into the third round this year. There are two elite tight end prospects. 
 

Take Warren. 

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

Over Romo? No. And none of them touch what Jon Gruden was. 

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.

Harlan is play by play. Olsen and Brady are color analysts.

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 think Greg is the best current NFL analyst. 

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

Apparently Hunter Renfro visited the Panthers on Wed.  Might be old news but he is pretty good

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

The demented side of me wonders what Tepper does if we only win 5 games next year.  That said I think we hit 7/8 rather easily

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

The discussion is about how the fans perceive our moves versus what most talking heads think. I've lost count how many times the Panthers fanbase has thought we had a solid to great offseason only for the team to once again faceplant. That was the context I was referring to.

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

Actually being worse seems highly unlikely.

Only improving marginally however is a very real possibility with this franchise. If you know the Panthers in and out then you know this. How many offseasons have we "won" in the past? Can't blame anyone for wanting to see results first. That's just the reputation that has been created under this ownership.

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.

I never thought steve the "man" was a person to look up to but Steve the "player" to me one of the best WR to ever play the game

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.

Who???

I mean, really, who?

For the life of me, didn't know he was on the team last year.
