The NFL Shield At Midfield

the whole idea isn't that we're going to be happy just winning the division and losing early in the playoffs every year forever. even then there are a lot of "model franchises" bandied about as being far superior to the panthers on this site who did just that for years before breaking through and winning titles which is how it goes in the NFL sometimes. for once this team seems to making something resembling progress and people are guardedly optimistic. actually the idea is that, as far as the panthers go, we're in an uncharted place as a franchise right now. it really is okay to let go of your internet badass persona for one nano second and be happy about back to back division titles. your dong probably won't shrivel up and fall off i promise.

i keep seeing people posting about "settling for mediocrity" and "oh good old huddle happy to go 8-8 and win a terrible division and never win a super bowl for all eternity" which i think is bullshit what would sitting around with our arms crossed all offseason talking about how pissed off we all are accomplish anyway

do you really believe this

there were only three teams that had a confirmed interest in hardy. one of them was the defending NFC champion and they passed based on character concerns in conjunction with money which i think says something interesting re: all the blathering about what "winning teams" do.

Is this a joke When you look at our roster do you think to yourself that all we need to be a serious title contender is an all pro DE

i've been trying to change it to something else for a little while but it seems like that form has been broken for some time. it's a feature i love to play with as most people who've been here for a while are aware.

Au-panther

does cam talk out of his ears or something

hey russell wilson, would you care to share your feelings about deflate gate? russell wilson: "i'll pass"

he had problems with concussions as well right i remember a terrible hit from ike taylor in what was 2009 i think. he was out cold before he hit the ground

a ton of butthurt tar heel fans hated the pick too every other thread slamming it was made by somebody with a username that contained "unc" or "heel"

They probably weigh bpa with need If mariota is on the board we're not going to draft him. Gettleman's philosophy shows out more in later rounds as we saw with ealy being drafted while everyone was screaming for Morgan moses, the double dip at db, the 2013 double dip at DT, and so on.

it'd be an "eh okay whatever" pick

it takes several years to properly judge a GM and unless you're the browns or raiders they get several years to put their stamp on a team gettleman's early drafts have been promising though and i feel more positive and excited going in to draft day than i have in years now

son of a rich man:

i mean i get your point and all OP but google brett von drehle some time

yeah it would be just our luck wouldn't it

supposedly dallas made a hard run at him last night and they're the clear front runners

it's easy to sit there and slap the packers and seahawks on the back and talk about what well oiled machines those orgs are now. that's because you're looking at the final product and aren't paying any attention to the legwork that it took to get there. that's because you aren't a fan of those franchises and you didn't have to sit through, say, the four straight losing seasons seattle had prior to 2012. or the two straight non-winning seasons at the beginning of ted thompson's tenure. or the relatively long stretch of mediocrity in baltimore when ozzie newsome was moved up to GM and the ravens didn't win a playoff game for six years and had three losing seasons in that stretch.

well i mean he doesn't have a job right now fiz posted something last year taking polian's drafts apart and making a pretty convincing case that he's actually a hack. it was a pretty interesting read.

i wasn't sold on jaelen strong until i saw his carlton banks mustache

forgot all about that possibility what would have to happen to make us eligible for a comp pick in this scenario? i know he has to be a pre-june 1st signing

also can we ever cut a player or let him walk and not have to play him the very next year ffs

no suspension, letter of apology from goodell, one of those chocolate dipped fruit baskets you see advertised on TV coming to greg hardy's front door soon
