  1. Bust and move on quickly. As much as I will hate the indignity of the Panthers simultaneously drafting the biggest bust of all time, and making arguably the worst trade of all time in one sweaty bowl movement, I can bear that. I can't bear us spending the better part of a decade trying to prop up something that's just not going to work. See: "Sunk Cost Fallacy." If Bryce shows us more of the same this year, then we'll be in a position to draft in the top 5 again. At that point, we'll need to just swallow that bitter, jagged pill and admit we fugged up catastrophically and move on. Just don't double down on the mistake.
  2. This. Fitt was an incredible dealer. I can't remember a GM we had that was so savvy working the phones. He seriously could take a fifth round pick and turn it into a third in a couple moves. Masterful. But he just could not translate those moves into successful players. All these incredible deals, and he produced absolutely dog poo out of them. I was initially onboard with keeping Fitt, but stripping all talent responsibilities away from him. Happy we've moved on. I'm likewise souring on analytics. This ain't Moneyball. You still need the old heads to look at a prospect and determine exactly how much dawg he's got in him.
  3. That's the thing. We're building for the future. With or without Bryce. We're building a team that we can insert a QB into next year. Maybe target a hot FA QB next off-season if Bryce fizzles. By then we ought to be a very desirable situation.
  4. I think you may be on to something here. His (welcome) absence from the limelight probably less about him intentionally taking a step back, and more about spending his time on other ventures. The Panthers are just a part of his portfolio. And right now, not a particularly profitable one.
  5. Yup. This is a "don't let him leave without a contract" message.
  6. Don't disrespect Bailey Zappe like that.
  7. Honestly, with a pro-quality offensive line, we might actually get what was advertised with Miles Sanders. As the video points out, Raheem Mostert was all world behind Hunt being himself arguably a mid-level RB. Sanders just never had any gaps to run through. Hubbard stubbornly found yardage, and I'm excited to see how Mrs. Rhule's favorite does behind this line when he has actual lanes to pick through. But Sanders is just a season removed from being one of the league's leaders in all-purpose yards. Behind the line we are building, this could be his bounce-back season.
  8. It has really devolved. I used to like his coverage; he was kinda like the Happy Gilmore for sports commentary. It was like you were listening in on a bull session of regular Joes at a bar rather than hearing from a stuff-shirt. But as a former pro, he could get real guests unlike any other regular Joe's podcast. But ever since he's gotten tied up with Aaron Rodgers and bought into his own hype, it's really leaning into the alpha male shtick. He's like Diet Andrew Tate. Yeah, I've largely tuned him out.
  9. I like it. He's definitely on the regression side of his career, but still a quality pass rusher with plenty of juice left. I'd try to lock him up on a reasonable 3-year contract so we still have him once we have a complete team, and we may be able to make a run at the playoffs with him. Absolutely no reason to pick him up on a 1-year rental when everyone knows we're not making waves for the next year or two.
  10. Sigh. And just like that, I officially have no current Panthers jerseys. More depressingly, I really don't know whose I'd want to buy right now.
  11. This all day. A strong offensive line is something we've desperately needed for a decade, and it's something that will benefit any QB. Cam, Bridgewater, Darnold, Baker, Bryce, they have all looked horrible because our offensive line has been warmed over dog poo since the Gross/Kalil days. Give your QB, ANY QB an opportunity to be successful. And whether it's Bryce, or a much better, taller, sturdier QB in the future (hypothetically) this will not be a wasted investment.
  12. Captroop and Sydney Sweeney!!! There has been some talk, mainly by Captroop himself, about Sydney Sweeney being a total smokeshow. This has led some to make dubious connections between the Huddle's cat poop, and arguably the most marketable actress in Hollywood at the moment. Sources say that Captroop has never actually talked to Sydney Sweeney, has no ability to do so, is married, and his wife is vehemently against the idea of polyamory. So yeah. Pretty much no connection or anything worth reporting. Carry on.
  13. I'll stop short of making that comparison but he looks as quick sideline to sideline. And he does that thing that I remember watching Luke do in the Ravens preseason game when I knew we had something special: he just disappears into the scrum and then somehow just pops out the other side like a David Copperfield magic trick going at full speed for a TFL. I'm on the record as wanting a MLB at the top of the 2nd. This is my guy now!
