Your statement sums it up nicely. ("Yet, each guy seems to play worse football in Carolina. Such a decline in performance has to be in large part due to coaching. The current staff is unable to get the most out of the players and put them in position to succeed on the gridiron." )

I can go along with that if it happens.

The tight ends of the Panthers couldn't catch a pass if you soaked their hands in glue.

They were probably laughing at him and saying, look at that drunk idiot.

Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports passes along, team owner David Tepper may be just fine waiting a year to see if Sean Payton entertains a return to coaching in 2023. While an official Panthers spokesperson didn’t want to speculate, at the risk of tampering since Payton is technically under contract with the New Orleans Saints through 2024, this is an expected response. Back in January, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis mentioned he was prepared to negotiate with teams regarding a potential Sean Payton trade, but discussions didn’t appear to get far, as the asking price will be “significant”. The cost for a Payton trade won’t suddenly go down in 2023 either, but maybe it’s a price the Panthers are willing to pay. For Payton, the chance to return to coaching in the NFC South, facing his old team twice per season might be the trigger that brings him back to the whistle.

I agree 100%. Well stated.

This was far cry from being a perfect win but still it was a win, so I will take it.

Very true concise statements.

Panthers 21 Browns 17

I am predicting 9-8 as the high if Mayfield and CMC can stay healthy. 7-10 as the low if either are injured and out for a period of time.

Obviously I'm pulling for Corral to become a long term quality starter. Odds may be against him but he's got the tools and the moxie to be successful. I think Corral will definitely end up being in the NFL for a long time, the only question is whether that will be as a quality back-up, or as a solid starter. I'd say his floor is a reliable back-up like Heinicke, and his ceiling is an above average starter like Carr. It's up to his work ethic as a player, and the development skills of our coaching staff, to see which one he becomes.

Baker Mayfield becoming the starting QB was a move most everyone saw coming from the moment he became a Panther, the team just took a long time to make it official.

The Panthers could try and sneak P.J. Walker onto the practice squad, which is risky considering how many other teams are desperate for better backups they can get cheap.

Exactly. That is why they are letting him have equal reps in practice.

R.I.P. Rashard Anderson. So sad, I hate to hear this.

The only white Carolina Panthers jersey I ever purchased was a Delhomme #17 that i still have along with some black and blue ones of various Panthers players.

Sad but true.

I am overjoyed to see Baker Mayfield become a Carolina Panther. An upgrade at QB for sure. Mayfield's 29-30 all-time as a starter, and would become the fourth former Heisman Trophy winner to play for the Panthers, alongside quarterbacks Vinny Testaverde, Chris Weinke, and Cam Newton. Not bad company.

R.I.P. Tony "Goose" Siragusa.

So young. This was a heart breaking tragic loss.

Ha Ha

The fact is options for where the Browns can trade Mayfield are seemingly slim. The Panthers may not be ruled out as of yet, but drafting Corral certainly makes it less likely. The Seahawks are another team with a need at the QB position after trading Russell Wilson this offseason to Denver, but there hasn’t been much noise about any interest in Mayfield. Other than those two, it becomes difficult to locate a place where Mayfield would be wanted or needed at least with an opportunity to start. Although I haven't heard any talk about it Tampa Bay would be a good fit for Mayfield who could step in as starting QB when Tom Brady who could suddenly decide to retire again hangs it up.

Good one Ha Ha https://create.vista.com/unlimited/stock-videos/358762042/stock-video-man-laughing-showing-thumbs-camera/

This would be a great swap as far as the Panthers are concerned but i cannot see the Browns willing to pay Sam Darnold his present to be a backup.
