Halfway expecting someone to go all Mick Mixon talkin ‘bout his ample chest…

Zero pass rush.  Until I see hiw they are addressing the pass rush, I just don't see it. Am a defensive guy. 

So many dismiss Burns impact on the defense.  

 

Burns dismissed his impact before any of us did..
 

all the talk of how good the players we let go do, and while I think Luvu & Chinn are gonna ball out in WAs, I’d put a paycheck on letting #0 walk was the correct move…

Technically it is speculative enough to be considered Panther related in a hypothetical doomsday foreshadowing sitch..

I’ll allow it…

im not a mod…

you’re not a Panthers fan……

keep pounding…

Ratt Mhule’s wife picked Chubba, is it so far fetched that Nicole pulled the ‘she got a draft pick, why can’t I, David?’ card to select BY? 
 

truth is stranger than fiction, I might could be just throwing poo, but it might could stick too….
 

I’ll be watching, absolutely… I too picked up Stroud & Tank for FF this week, I’m doing my part to disrupt the mojo…

Can’t even say hindsight, most here knew the CMC, the trading up & the not trading Burns were real bad for football business.. Dude is 0-3 on decision for top-tier players/picks… 

Fitterer now reminds me of the kid from a story when I was a kid.. 

Kid has a dollar, another kid walks up & offer to trade his 1 dollar for 3 quarters, well, yes I’ll take 3 to 1.. another kid comes up & offers 5 dimes for the kid’s 3 quarters, he takes the deal. 4th kid approaches with “I’ll give you 6 nickels for your 5 dimes” and the last kid offers 10 shiny pennies for those 6 nickels, which he gladly took, thinking he was making out. He traded his 1 whole dollar for $.10… I love my Panthers fandom…..

Burns ain’t getting traded, we screwed the pooch on that one… or were the pooch, I don’t know..

other than the poo filter, what others are there? Is the The Golden Calf of Bristol filter still on?

The ball ain’t getting thrown Chark’s way & that’s on him? Nah.. if he was dropping lots then I’d understand but that’s not how it is. Other than Theilen, nobody is consistent, although Chuba stepping up…

a 1st, a 2nd & 2025 3rd should get the trade papers signed for SpiderZero, or a 1st, a 3rd & a player makes it go now… Burns ain’t poo, shoulda shipped him to Chi.. bad business to franchise mediocrity… but masochism is sort of a requirement for being a Panthers fan…

Because the scouting dept & coaches don’t value th position enough to find an upgrade? Or trade a seemingly solid option to JAX for DB that we need now? 
 

Besides Shockley in Olsen’s 1st year here, have the Panthers ever had 2 TEs that did anything? Walls never had a compliment, Mangum was solid/decent, Rosario Dawson was hot in ‘Sin City’, thought Jeff King might do something but it was just a thought, but zero attention/assistance for the TE1.. even that spot is back-burnered…

Haruki says hi. You should have specified on offense

That… that is ow.. yet speaks volumes.. on different levels…

No one can tell me Cam Newton wasn’t set up for success with that roster.  Stop being dumb folks.  Not one player on this team outside of Burns starts for that team.  

JJ Jansen.. boom..

your whole argument is null & void for being wrong on 1 certain point, a seemingly small overlook on your part decimated e’rything you’re trying to do here…

Seriously, Cam had much more talent to work with on both sides of the ball & to be fair, seemingly coaching too…

Too early to call, kid still hasn’t settled in, looks shook out there. Seems he’s playing scared instead of with the quiet confidence we were sold, er, told he had.. if he can settle down, step up into & not straight away from pressure then he could do something great.. 

Or, we really screwed the seemingly prodigal pooch…

Don’t understand speculating on someone’s speculation… meaningless talking point, ‘what if’s’ are wasted words…

I heard you out,  think it’s a very stupid notion.. not calling you stupid, more unlucky at thinking…

there’s 3mins I won’t get back…….

I wouldn’t pay for Sunday Ticket to not watch it the last 20 years…. Makes the highs that much better when you embrace the suck…

Is it a too early knee jerk to say that ‘win one for thebigkat’ does not have the same ring as “Win one for the Gipper.”? 
 

let it play out, we know both Ejiro & Brown were reportedly considered for HC positions this past offseason.. they both could be poached, they both could still be here with Reich. Depends on if we continue the same path or make adjustments, game time & season depending…

What if Pickles was good enough for 2 more wins & Panthers picked 3rd?

what if Reich had been better than 0-2, would Collins still get to the NFCCG? 

what if Cotchery did catch it?

What if didn’t come down to points scored & Delhomme’s knee was down?

Foreman is their RB3, but yes, didn’t look great.. 1st game, he’ll produce up there.. hopefully Sanders is an upgrade, gon’ miss him if not…

All stats aside, game on the line, Panthers needs a defensive play to be made, do you think you’ll be hollering Burns’ name in a few seconds? I hope so but don’t think so… there’ve been players where you knew they’d step up.. 91, 51, 90, 52, 58, 59 were reliable, 0 is questionable…..

watch Bosa play, there’s little to no doubt he’s prob’ly gon’ make a play, it’s more probable than it isn’t… Burns hasn’t showed that, he doesn’t have that… love for the game…

Luke once talked about, and I’ve used this speech coaching girls’ softball, it’s the players that love the game that really excel. There’s lots of players that have the physical traits, and/or like the game, have the head for the game and are really good at the game, but it’s the ones that love the game that truly excel at their game… 

Seems to me burns is happy being in the spotlight, being the superstar instead of being the quiet beast.. Panthers fans have been spoiled with quiet beasts over the years….

Drunk spitballing, no gts as to stats & players available, yet… how’d we have looked doing both the Burns trade to LA & still moving up for Young? Not looked as in opinion but on picks & who could’ve been had in FA. 
 

Burns just seems to be riding the glory of a highlight player on a small market team, context is skewed… it’s potential vs reality.. like potentially a 15 sack season is awesome, but reality has shown 7:15 of Hardy’s sacks came in the last 2 games… they’re 2 different players, their strengths are different but my point remains… Burns is a want, not a need… 

The year we signed Olsen I refrained from buying his & left it to the family as a Christmas gift. To the point that I expressed if the only gift I open is a G-reg jersey then I will be perfectly happy. Come Christmas Eve, I got my jersey but my inlaw that bought it was a tad slow. Instead of an 88 jersey, I got a 2…. Clausen… 

I did also lose my very first ever Panther jersey, Starter, got it at TJ Max for $20. Was dating a waitress at a sports bar in ‘03, let her wear for Sundays, we split, never saw her or that jersey again…. #14, Reich…. Smmfh…..

tl;dr, go to 1:24…
