Real fountainhead of information.

I think in trades, they pay by the pound.  We'd get a seventh round conditional pick in 2027

Lol! You damn near made me spit out my antifreeze!

no--they are going after a QB, imo.  The fact that they did not want to give up a second (if true) is probably the reason this is dragging out.  They need it to move up.  I  am totally guessing, but if we take both seconds now, they can't move up as easy. 

I've got a perfect solution. How about we include in the package a QB who is worth not one, but TWO first round picks?

Great signing!

Not to get all wistful, but I wish we'd made a splash signing on a stud O-Lineman in Cam's career.

But better late than never. The inside line is the foundation of an offense, so I'm all in favor of us making a huge move here.

Wasn’t the whole point of bringing Canales in was for Bryce? 

That was the line, but I really, really hope it's not true.

I'm just excited to have a YOUNG, offensive minded head coach who offers a fresh take and new perspective.

I've already made up my mind on Bryce. I wonder how long it will take the team to do likewise. But at this point, I've already got my eye on 2025. This is a year to move pawns and try to set us up for the future.

Sneaky move:

try to trade for Steven Gilmore's brother out of Detroit for a late round pick.

Fully support this move.

Damn he took it down. Guess that means a lawsuit is incoming. The coaches' came back looking for a bag, so he had to pull down the self-uploaded deposition.

Their money still green? Then Tepper don't care.

That was one of the big problems at the Senior Bowl, his hands were not good. Dropped a lot of balls.

That's what I see in that footage. Looks like his preference is to catch with his body, especially on deep balls. He catches with his hands across the middle. But if he's going to be unwilling to go up and aggressively pull a ball out of the air, he's going to struggle as an outside WR in the NFL. CBs would have broken up several of those catches before they would even get to him.

5th round or later.

And someone mentioned Sam, Baker and Teddy. All of whom are/were better than BY9.

And, on another note, I actually have more fun watching UFL (XFL last year) than the NFL.

I'll second this. But a lot of that has to do with watching the DC Defenders, who I sincerely think could have beaten the 2023 Panthers.

But related to Corral, I think the UFL ideal for players like Corral. Never really got the opportunity to prove themselves, no tape, ended up in a bad situation on a bad team. If Corral puts on a decent show in the UFL it might get him invited back to an NFL training camp.

I'll never say that someone who failed to shine as a Panther in the Rhule/Fitterer regime is a provably bust.

MLB, OL, WR, in that order.

We've been sorely in need of a defensive field general since we lost Luke. And we're not in contention for any of the top OL prospects. So, I'd say look for late round studs at OL, and pick the best WR or ILB available at the top of round 2.

Our new GM is a former MLB and is all about making people afraid to come to Carolina. Looking across the LOS at a stud who can read your mind, already knows what your playcall is, and is foaming at the mouth to rip your head off is a great starting point.

Seeing this god damn creepy uncanny valley Temu commercial like nine times this game is giving me mobile game flashbacks.

Alicia Key's cant sing for sh*t lmao

I think her monitor wasn't working. Couldn't hear herself over the music and couldn't tell if she was on key. 

I can't tell exactly what it is, but there is something about the press conference that just gives me the warm fuzzies about Dave. It's the expected amount of naive optimism one should project at an introductory press conference, but none of the snake oil. None of the platitudes. I, for some bizarre reason, feel good about this regime.

Also, Joe Person is a tool. Stand up when you're asking a question, prick.

How could anyone look at our offensive line the past 2 years and think we needed a change? Just baffling.

Let's see..........do any of you think that Young is that diamond in the ruff just waiting to be mentored into a SB champion?

and they hire this OC because in big part he's helped some QBs in the past?

but decided to hire him as HC?

Anyone see a problem with this? 

Rough*

Also, I don't think he was exclusively hired to "fix" Bryce. We wanted an offensive mind, Sportsology has a history of hiring young guns, and a 1-year OC isn't unprecedented; McDaniel was only an OC for 1 year in San Francisco before becoming the HC in Miami. So I think the problem you're seeing is one of your own fancy. 

Sorry, I think I just stream of conscious-ed that last post. 

I meant to say good hire, welcome to the team!

I just realized you can't spell Canales without "Anal."

Okay, I'm going from tepid to warm.

I'm less concerned with wins and losses for the next year or two. I want to see a team with some fight. And in that regard, I think Vrabel is close to an ideal candidate. 

I was on the record that trading up was a huge mistake. I stand by that. You need to earn a #1 pick and the flameout risk of #1 overall QBs is way too high. 

I was a proponent of rolling with Darnold (hence the slap a Groucho mask on him so the fanbase would give him another chance with a new non-Rhule coach) and let the chips fall where they may. Maybe we'd still be picking #1 overall, but we probably would have used #9 on a position of need and we'd still have Moore. 

I foolishly tried to convince myself that if our all star coaching staff was convinced there was someone at #1 that was a generational talent then they must know what they're doing.

She's a big deal. NFL making money off her so I understand. Just sucks for the people who actually just want to watch football. All that extra stuff is dumb.

Yeah those cutaways between the action when there's nothing happening on the field really take away from the experience. Same with the cheerleaders. It has nothing to do with the game. Stop showing me pretty ladies dammit!

This is being reported as a done deal and not very happy about personally 

Man, I just realized that I'm so disillusioned by this franchise that my first thought was, "Good for them. I'm sure he'll do great there, and I kinda am rooting for him to prove he wasn't just propped up by Brady."

The Panthers have beaten my Panthers fandom down to the point that I'm literally becoming a "I just hope both teams have a good time" level fan. And it's sickening.
