Happy Early New Year.

I assure you, you don’t want that. As for being critical, I apologize if that rubs you the wrong way. If you feel the current trajectory is satisfactory, I’m not gonna argue with you. I hope you had a good holiday season, and thanks for the feedback.

Love my WFNZ friends, but if you’re looking for some Panthers talk, tune in during the 5 PM hour. Link below.

That’s a little too kind, but I certainly appreciate the support

Some clarity.

Hey guys. Steven Ruiz was my guest on Fox Sports Upstate tonight. If you don’t know Ruiz, he’s well-connected with the Panthers as one of the lead NFL writers for The Ringer. He recently wrote about Rhule, and a few other coaches around the NFL, feeling some heat. Not breaking any major news in this interview, but thought you might enjoy our perspective on the Panthers’ odd journey under this head coach.

As wild as their quarterback evaluations have been, watch it happen. Who the hell knows what’s next….well, except for Darnold’s fifth yr option.

Yes, @Mr. Scot…life is good my man. Hope all is well w you.

*to those who see their process as a winning formula (typo, can’t edit, such is life) Hope y’all are well, and hope you guys and gals have a great holiday season. Hopefully, we can all enjoy playoff caliber football again before too long—it’s been a minute.

Interesting times for this organization. Billy and I took some time to analyze where we feel the Panthers are. It may not be your cup of tea (particularly to those who see their “process” as a winning my formula), but it’s here if you wanna take a listen:

Hey guys. Hope all is well. We did a pod on the Joe Brady firing, and discussed some of what ails Matt Rhule right now. Give it a listen, if you’d like.

I put a little time in the something, and I hope you guys get a little joy out of it. Unique times, indeed.

Just realized I left out two of his reps. Definitely going to track those down, and throw them out there later. Looked pretty solid.

Just following up: I looked at the tape earlier today from the game—this was the only play from the second quarter in which Sam was contacted by defender. Certainly not saying this caused the injury, but multiple sources are claiming they believe this issue happened in the second quarter. To Joe’s point, here’s a look back at what happened the prior Sunday in Atlanta:

Next week. We have a text line, you’ll be able to hear it on the front end of the show. Definitely going to be taking some calls from time to time, starting next week. Using this week to ease into the format and introducing guests.

4-6p ET. Hope to hear from ya!
