If they change the rule, they might as well do away with the kickoff. Just start each possession at the 25. It's already to the point where most kickoffs are touchbacks anyway.

I don't care who it is, but I am ready for football season to start.

If I'm Young, I stay away from the kid's chicken nuggets and fries.

Stroud or Young. But I believe it's Stroud. This was an awesome trade. At least we control who we get.

It seems like the news media thinks the Panthers are interested in any QB on the free market. "Uncle Rico plans to join the NFL. Panthers are among teams interested."

Thankful you aren't the Panthers GM. The next step after that is people saying, "Imagine if we had talent around him."

I don't think you go hard for Carr. Getting him opens up the 9th pick a little bit and would be a convenience.

I thought I saw that too on at least one play.

I'd be more happy with Carr than giving up draft picks to move up to snag a guy. We have too many needs. But there are some decent free agent QBs out there too. I think we get one and see what is available at our draft pick.

A pizza and a hot dog. We should not trade that many picks for one player. Teams win championships.

I liked what I saw from Corral. I wasn't too worried about how he looked in preseason. But I wouldn't bet any money that he was going to be the starter. We need a vet and a rookie until we find out who is the guy.

Is that you, Marty?

I think the last two games sealed it. With the playoffs on the line we couldnt beat a weak Tampa Bay team and looked like a bumblefug fest against the Saints. The main reason Wilkes looked like a good coach was because we had 2.5 years of Rhule.

The answer wasn't positive.

I am really interested in Kellen Moore. I'd like to see how he handles the SF defense tonight.

You sign him and let him compete with Gonzalez during the summer. I like them both, but am concerned about Gonzalez's injury.

Wilkes got paid to win football games, not plan the future of the Panthers beyond the time he was going to be here.

I'm not sure that's the route either.

Darnold played good enough to win, but had turnovers. I'm not sure the fumbles were solely his fault, but they were turnovers that helped lose the game. What was anyone really expecting from Norman?

No. Darnold still has his issues. He was good enough to get us through the year. If we can upgrade the QB position, we need to do it.

Then the posts would be, "why didn't we double team Godwin. We failed to adjust to stop him."

We had 3 turnovers that helped them two. The Darnold fumbles were critical as much as anything anyone else did.

I'm not going to say yes or no. It depends on who else is out there. I am not as hard on Wilkes as most people. He had little to no say in the roster and coordinators. He also started with a 1-5 record. He came in and made the Panthers competitive for the remainder of the year. Darnold looked somewhat decent for the first time in a long time. I said earlier in the week that Brady vs our defense without Horn scared me a bit. That and some critical turnovers cost us the game.

It all comes down to the W.

I want to be optimistic, but it is hard with Horn out and Brady as heir QB.
