Mr. Scot

Moore slipped and didn't recover in time to be in a good position for the catch...

Reading between the lines a little bit here, but I have heard more positive coverage regarding Mayfield today than I did yesterday. That's... something

Also to be clear, this is strictly local sources. There are plenty of good national guys to follow but I'm looking here at people who solely cover the Panthers.

I know some on here don't like her. I actually do. Bottom line though: I've posted people that are following camp / putting out content. Individuals can decide who they like and who they don't

I know a few folks have complained about not getting enough camp coverage. And while I'll grant it does feel a little light this season, it's also true that there have been some changes in who's covering the team over the past few years. In the hope of helping frustrated Huddlers see more news and stay up to date, here are some of the Twitter accounts (besides guys everyone knows like Darin Gantt, Joe Person, Bill Voth, etc.) that are out there providing Panthers related content. (Twitter addresses included below) Kristen Balboni, Panthers team reporter: @KristenBalboni Augusta Stone, new Panthers team reporter: @augustalstone Chanelle Smith-Walker, Team photographer: @nellez_ Ellis Williams, Charlotte Observer: @BookofEllis Schuyler Callihan, SI Online: @Callihan_ Will Kunkel, Fox Charlotte: @WillKunkelFOX Nick Carboni, WCNC: @NickCarboniWCNC Ashley Stroehlein, NBC Charlotte: @ashstro Sheena Quick, Fox Sports Radio: @Sheena_Marie3 Carla Metts Gebhart, Charlotte Sports Live: @CarlaGebhart Varun Shankar, Charlotte Observer Intern: @ByVarunShankar John Ellis, Fox Sports Radio: @1PantherPlace Josh Klein, Roaring Riot: @joshkleinrules Carolina Blitz, Independent Reporter: @KeepBlitzin Panthers Nation Podcast, Independent Podcast: @PantherNationPC Hope this helps I'm sure there are others I've missed who might also be providing coverage. Feel free to add them to this thread.

Dunlap is a Chief...

Yeah, that's gonna hurt if it's serious. He's one of the best centers in the league.

Even over Andre Roberts?

We now know he was the right pick. He's confirmed to have good elbows

Tapper also said Marty Hurney was one of the best evaluators of college talent in the league and even specifically stated that he "didn't want to lose him" before firing him around a year later. I've come to a pretty clear understanding that the public speaking version of David Tepper rarely knows what he's talking about, quite commonly says things without thinking and is pretty frequently full of sh-t.

I get a sense this is gonna be a recuring theme

Yeeeeahh...no. Matt Rhule's history suggested to everyone that he'd get a little better in the second year, even better in the third year, and so on. One of the guys who was said to be expecting that second year Improvement was David Tepper. And per reports, he wound up embarrassed and disappointed by last year's results. Truth be told though, Rhule's resume' doesn't actually predict a championship timeline because well...he's never won one.

Glad to help

The first one's not exactly a mystery, though even less so given that they put his picture in the tweet. This happens so much that Rhule has virtually become the face of the NFL Hot Seat. What's a little surprising is that the article only lists three names total, with the others also having some level of familiarity to us here on The Huddle. Number Two is our old buddy Ron Rivera, currently of the embattled Washington Commanders. Seems a tad early in my mind to be putting him there, but given the organization he's part of I suppose it can be understood.. The third is Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, perhaps more properly referred to as the assistant head coach since Jerry Jones is always the true head coach...and GM... and...whatever. Not that working for Jerry Jones is ever a very secure position, but these days there's loads of speculation that McCarthy is just keeping the seat warm for Sean Payton. As to Rhule, the article acknowledges that he has a history of guiding college programs to better standing but calls rebuilding the Panthers "a much harder task". Excerpt: He has a 10-23 record in his first two years with the team. Some of the blame can fall on major injuries and certain personnel decisions, but Rhule is still responsible for winning games at the end of the day. Rhule has also dealt with an endless carousel of quarterbacks during his tenure paired, and Christian McCaffrey only playing in 10 games the past two years doesn’t help either. A healthy McCaffrey and consistent quarterback play could have Rhule back on stable ground in no time or another year filled with injuries and losses could put Rhule on the hot seat this season. Truthfully, I find it a little disingenuous to blame some of Rhule's issues on "certain personnel decisions" when it's well known that he has final say on those. Land the "carousel of quarterbacks? Yeah...also pretty much him

To be clear, the OP is talking about a quarterback position battle, not so much a fistfight.

If we managed to trade for someone like Davante Adams or Cooper Kupp, would you tell them they need to earn playing time over Robbie Anderson and Terrace Marshall? Making rookies earn their spot is "100% NFL", though even in that case there are frequently exceptions for highly drafted players. Making veterans you signed or traded for feel like they have to begin at the bottom and work to win a starting job over someone they were brought in to replace is kinda silly, especially when it's in a system neither of them has played in before. Granted that as long as it's just drills, it's not necessarily a big deal...yet. But part of the point of having a training camp is so that the guys you expect to be starters can gain chemistry with each other. That means reps...

Losing out to the Chiefs wouldn't be that depressing to me, honestly.

Honestly don't remember the procedure itself at all. I was pretty heavily sedated. Can, however, tell you anything you wanna know about the prep. Believe me when I say you don't wanna know anything about the prep

You'll have to excuse me. I've recently read other posts from people unfamiliar with roster updates, so...

Trust me when I say your first colonoscopy is a life-altering experience

I understand Derek Anderson better than I used to. Now that I'm in my mid-50s, I take my sh-t seriously too

And over in Detroit...

Meanwhile in Pittsburgh...

Except when it came to bad haircuts...
