...Jeremy Chinn returning and Rhule no longer being his head coach.

i think that's fine. Something weird is going on with Cam Akers, and I'd rather just stick with Hubbard/Foreman/Blackshear.

60/40 rushing/pass ratio The team simply does not have the QB to run anything more than a run based, PA offense and hope the defense can steal some games. Even with the best case scenarios with Baker, this team needs to be setting up the pass with the run. It was gorgeous watching Foreman just abuse people in the 3rd and 4th. And Hubbard is fine as long as he is never asked to catch a pass. He is a one cut runner and that is fine; we have the offensive linemen to pull that off. Moving forward, if we actually want to win games (i know, we risk going into no man's land record wise) we need to leave PJ in there and run a play action offense. Get him running, let him take shots deep because he has the best arm on the team. If we want to win. Which I'm not sure we do.

id just like to point out that a lot of the arguments of burns' value v. not mirror the same conversations that were had about Julius peppers at the end of his first stint here.

This is probably the least talented alabama team offensively in the last five years.

quietly solid player. Obviously not in plans moving forward probably worth a low 4/high 5

Schefter’s “sources” are managing PR and are usually player agents. This is likely his agent trying to boost the contract Carolina is going to be giving him. i could see this being one first (low) plus a conditional first or something like that.

I don’t buy that offer.

so far no qb this year has had as impressive a game as he did against Tennessee

Jackson tbh

Then the panthers have either a really good problem or see you in another 3 years.

2023 isn't the year for free agency anyway. That's just to evaluate players, clear cap and hope the first round QB plays the last six games and looks promising. then you bring in the FAs to plug holes

who gives a poo about the salary cap good lord you guys cheer for a team in the same division as the saints

this is a good trade for both teams san fran is win now mode and don't know what they have moving forward at the QB position. if CMC stays healthy, Shanahan is just about the best coach he could have ended up with. Say the Panthers are competitive again in 2024, Stroud/Young/Whomever's 2nd year. CMC is 28, with god knows how much more tread on the tires. How good is he on that team? good haul of picks. First rounder wasn't on the table. They got a 2nd and 3rd for a RB with a terrible contract with a huge injury history in 2022. Most people upset on here have completely unrealistic expectations about what their players are worth. Unless you get Jim Irsay rolling on MDMA, you're not getting a 1st rounder. Fitterer did well on this. He tried to create a bidding war but the only two teams interested were short on firsts. good luck to CMC. Hope he wins the super bowl.

assuming we go in with Terrace, Lavishka, Moore.. I don't think the answer to WR is to get younger. They need a veteran.

if we're counting moving around on draft day with trades, his 2021 draft was fantastic. its unfortunate he didn't have the authority to overule matt rhule's wife. i think lavishka's going to be a good player. I think henderson is a good player who's getting picked on a lot. He's not as good as horn and that's not a slight on him. But now the whole secondary has fallen apart and the team is capsizing so who's to say how this will go. he got two picks for Dennis Allen which, hey, praise. Might just be churn but it's productive churn. he got a 6th for Bridgewater, which whatever. He got good value for Baker, and I still think that was the best move given the circumstances. But obviously the circumstances were bad and of their own making. only question is how much of that was rhule And gilmore was very good with us, come on. Reddick was signed to a one year contract

the donte and robby contracts were terrible. this board was pretty mixed but overall negative on the donte contract. People here were mostly ecstatic for the Anderson contract tho.

chiefs fans on another board think its burns.

there were a ton of red flags about parsons, and he went into a perfect situation. Dallas is just letting him rush the qb and not worry about anything else. they've got a very good DC for him. I think Horn is the real deal, and it sucks because he got hurt his rookie year and it's just not as visible a position. I do not think Parsons would have anywhere near the success in carolina he would has had in dallas, and i don't think they would have been able to handle his personality here. Dallas historically doesn't have a problem with that. That's more a criticism of rhule though. I don't think dallas is going to keep this coaching staff around much longer so it'll be interesting to see how he keeps going.

We traded for Gilmore as well. Sometimes things just work out. And making big moves for FA/trades out of nowhere has been Philly's MO for a while. Like yeah these moves looks good but lets not forget when Roseman did the same thing for Asomugha and it was a disaster because he was actually totally washed and no one realized it because he'd been on the raiders and teams were just throwing anywhere else for five years. Roseman is great, don't get me wrong, but that sword cuts both ways.

yeah he's taking advantage of teams in bad situations (titans and saints) or making stupid decisions (giants), though its hard to fault where the giants currently are but that original bradberry contract was woof belichick made a career of fleecing al davis and i know it's not a popular opinion here, but i love the strategy of trading for young players that are underperforming.

Just rewatching it now and he's regularly drawing an extra blocker. You learn a lot about players with seasons like this. Obviously as Panthers fans we have a lot of experience with these kinds of situations. I don't know if Brown will ever "live up" to his draft position, but he's definitely turned into an NFL caliber starter. And he's still out there playing hard for a worthless team.

(im mostly kidding btw)

I will never forget, and I will never forgive. Knoxville Delonde Est

And since the only flag flying higher in Tennessee right now than their piss orange V is the confederate battle flag, never forget Knoxville fought for the Union. Battle of Fort Sanders was a confederate army marching north from Chatt to capture the city. They failed, because the only thing Knoxville residents were better at than getting drunk was supporting Union troops.
