spending a top 10 pick on a corner? again?

Giving Payton the credit for Brees is a lopsided take too. Because Brees was good before Payton got him. Payton just put him in good pass happy system. So his numbers jumped. You could have put a really good QB in Joe Brady’s offense and they would have had great stats. Because it’s just putting more influence on the QB. And a weak QB like Teddy lead to record numbers for almost everyone involved. You just cant out a bad QB in a QB heavy O.

Chargers didn’t trade him because they didn’t think he was good enough He tore his shoulder and was at a pay day. They were scared of him not recovering and being tied to a huge deal. So they offered him a heavy incentive deal which Brees didn’t take. Healthy, Brees was Brees.

I mean, isn’t that what the NFL basically did? Someone just leaked it. which seems it was either the NFL offices or Panthers office.

My guess would be someone in house that is just annoyed with the shitshow and Tepper (Mrs)

You only know about the requirement because Tepper’s franchise can’t follow basic NFL guidance. If we were well run you wouldn’t know it existed. that’s not how propaganda works

Probably because the Panthers are irrelevant the past several years…. and the NFL playoffs are currently underway. So no one cares outside of Charlotte. It would be bad business for national folks to waste time giving it air. So it’s only the Charlotte beat covering it.

That’s why I think it is about power in the negotiation. And few just love giving that up. Much easier for some to part with dollars.

It’s not just about getting hired though. It’s about the deal he gets when hired. Compensation, power, etc. That takes some dancing.

I mean Tepper was going after Payton before he fired Rhule. Remember when Rhule had the presser where he had to come out and say Tepper totally said it wasn’t true.

OR….maybe we just are so poorly run we can’t follow basic instruction. And got our hand slapped.

lol. What it is, is just bologna. They were called out for not doing the league required training. You either did it or you didn’t. Issuing a statement that she was in fact trained is politician type BS. It’s irrelevant to the fact at hand. It doesn’t matter if she did other training. it’s like the league saying you have to pee in a cup for them. You don’t. When called on it you claim you totally did….at home by yourself and it looked good. Big deal? Not really. Not by itself. But there is a pattern with Tepper at this point. That’s the point. We are poorly run in lots of ways.

lol. Oh we did “other training”. What clowns. Just say you didn’t do it and will get it done. Tepper sounding like my middle schooler.

Tepper’s properly wanted to kill Keep Pounding and have Sam Darnold on the jumbotron…Panthers Country, let’s ride!

There is a pattern. We are poorly run.

you could get a covid cruise to the Bahamas for much cheaper than those flights lol.

It’s really the Jim Johnson tree. Ron and McD both are part of it.

Great Wolf Lodge is hell on Earth. But the kids like it.

run, run, pass. maybe hit them with the 3rd down draw play. Sometimes a punt isn't a bad play.

Why don't we bring back Greg Hardy. He will play for cheap. I mean, it's 2023. He beat that girl a prior year. I doubt he does it anymore. I mean, that's the thing about sports. It's like politics. Too many exceptions and looking the other way goes down when it is your team. No Panther fan should want Payton. He has a history of being called out on alcohol/drug abuse, bountygate, etc. Every year we are seeing great new offensive minds enter the league. We go looking in the past and give up multiple draft picks to a division rival for it.

I mean, I literally have said 100 times I want nothing to do with Wilks. It’s just a repeat of what we have claimed we wanted to improve on. But I can’t endorse giving away draft picks to a division rival for douchebag Payton. That’s the real point

Wilks is at least at his core is what the best of the Panthers has always been about. Keep Pounding. Payton? A pill popping, bountygate (against our Panthers) villain that we rightfully disliked. I don’t want Wilks. But Payton having a ring doesn’t mean we should want him. It makes no sense. Why give up a bunch of picks to our division rival for a douchebag coach??? That’s not building things the right way from the ground up. I’ll strongly consider being done with the Panthers if Tepper fugs up a 2nd hire badly. It’s just a football team. And I have switched teams before.

Payton? The cost of acquiring him alone should make it a no go. Then we give those picks to a division rival? It’s like 2 bad deals in one. Then he is a scumbag to top it off.

Mahomes and competition have nothing to do with a franchise being well run or not. That’s something else. Same with whether or not Wilson is busted or not. Think a reasonable person would want a look at him in a better offense before that is confirmed or not. Wilson has always been an odd duck. Nothing new there.

I mean, Wilks is just going to repolish Keep Pounding. Volume 3. Which is a drastic improvement over what Matt Rhule did here. We saw that in season last year. But we should forget Rhule ever existed and pretend Ron Rivera was just fired.
