Yeah, NC professional sports are kind of all that way. Start very strong, the teams start to disappoint and then the fans become fickle. I do think that if we get Panthers Stadium 2.0 under Tepper(seems likely) it will be pretty insane.

Jesus fuging Christ....Jameis is like 6-4, 230 and that dude fuging dwarfs him. WTF. Can he play LT?

You will find that most fanbases don't like fake fans. Perhaps you are new to professional sports but that tends to be fairly universal.

I mean, I suppose that you springing to the defense of a non-Panthers fan is what makes you happy. For the rest of us, we see these transient "fans" trickle in every offseason. Strange how they all disappear when their player disappears..... Good luck with that.

Well, we are about to get an up close look at how consistently he performs in a few months.

Yeah, that would be excellent.

Spoken like someone who has been a member of the Huddle for exactly one month. You are in for a real treat.....

I mean, we could probably start #5 now.....

Perryman's biggest issue is health. If he can stay healthy, I think he can become a guy we keep around and plays well for us.

It feels like that is a safe bet. If we actually lose that game, this place will be a madhouse(rightfully so).

I think the main steps they took were in relation to depth, IMO. I can't say that we got better on paper across the starting OL. It's possible that the combination of FA signings and draft picks are able to mesh into an above average starting unit but it isn't anything I would bet on before the season. I just hope however good or bad they are, we can stay healthier. We got a lot of guys in that unit that have suspect injury histories.

Well, if that is your version of timid.....your bold takes must be something.

Luckily when actual football starts, the crybaby crowd will just be minor background noise as opposed to the loudest minority in the forum. Sort of the the rest of the social media/media world. The loudest people drown out the reasonable voices. And we won't have to worry about the couple of player hopping additions, they will all go away shortly. Same as every other "player" fan that surfs over from a college team or NFL franchise. I think @Toomers is literally the only one that actually stuck around any length of time.

You aren't very self aware. Just letting you know.

Case in point.

Seems to be an issue with our newest wave of offsewson additions. Literally anything that they perceive as negative in any way is a five alarm fire. It's nuts. I don't remember this many oversensitive new posters in recent memory.

I think betting on our OL to be mediocre to bad is one of the safest bets for the Panthers, historically.

Ask me in January of 2022.

We've all seen so many "bold" predictions, but what about not-so-bold predictions? Give me your 5 most lily livered predictions for the Carolina Panthers in 2021. - CMC will win the starting RB job. - Greg Little will continue to suck. - Mick Mixon will continue to average 2.78 homoerotic comments a game. - The Huddle will wail with angst at the final JAG camp cuts. - DJ Moore will continue to produce at a high level in 2021, despite our small contingent of Moore haterz.

Top 5-10 is probably more of an accurate statement. Fair point.

He has a high ceiling, so he can definitely be more than a space eater. We will see if he can become a dominant interior guy.

His ceiling could be quite high. I am not disappointed.

Typically, only the elite pass rushing DT's get drafted in the top 15. Being that space eater is a very important but those guys don't typically command huge salaries or get drafted that highly. Like I said, I get the theory behind it but I think he was the right choice.

The theory they are working on is basically the positional value aspect. I do understand that to a point. But, we were in REALLY bad shape on that interior and Brown was a high caliber and relatively safe prospect.
