In the last 5 years, sure if we are talking anticipation.

TD was a spy on Vick for 2 games and proved he could do what we desperately needed, stop Vick from embarrassing us twice twice year. Not the best safety by far his first year but he literally did what we drafted him to do. I remember a lot of bitching about not just playing him at LBer but not about being a bad player. If I remember correctly he came in at 226 and put on like 8 lbs or something in year 2. Then those 3 awful injuries. I remember a lot of people loving his potential even then but being sad he had to be done only to prove the norm completely wrong. Shaq has been good but not great until this year. Who drafted him, the Hurney contract and not getting him to his current roll faster was never his fault. I still don't think on field value vs contract translate into dislike for a player, it's just a value assestment. That's more of a dislike of the situation not necessarily the player. Either way the man has shown up big time this year and I don't hear too much about his contract with him producing like he is. I'm ready to see Reddick get a new contract, and then Burns. They work really well together in this system. Even at big numbers that's looking like great value for the Panthers moving forward.

He is a top 5 non-edge LBer this year vs being pretty average before.

Donte is good but this sounds like his' agent and BR article gearing up for a new contract, absolutely no shame there. All this leadership talk and Gilmore the vet walks in and has an immediate impact on and off the field. IDK, I want to see Reddick and Gilmore locked down before thinking about a new contract for Dante, especially with Horn coming back. He is a big hitter so that is fun to have for sure.

Without the numbers I would guess it is Shaq this year.

Tannahil was revitalized so it was the example Sam was expected to follow. It was a hopeful comparison that was easy to build up but it completely discounted Sam's mental issues with processing the field. That is something that could be improved in a QB but in this case there is no evidence Sam was ever capable of doing so. Lots of good draft people couldn't see Little was a walking disaster yet some of us saw it well before the draft. I don't know what that is but it exist. Some kind of evaluation fallacy. Maybe if you over examine a bad prospect they start to look better or hopeful? I don't know.

Good to hear your brother is on the mend sir! LG already said it all. I am so happy about the Sam incident being shelved through the rest of the season so we can soak up what is going down in Panther town. This last weekend was such a turn from the week before that I still don't have the words to express my optimism of the new direction, it's very hard for me to not be pessimistic even if I am optimistic about it. I am right there with you on the Sam trade being better than a Watson trade, or even the Lance trade the 49ers made (he was my #1 wish from the offseason). I'm a pessimist, sometimes I do need to STFU and let others have their space. I wish I was wrong about Sam and he could mentally do what his body can physically do, I just couldn't believe that. Hell, I was a raging ass when we traded for him, no excusing that sir. Do you, have fun and if you need to throw some poo at me it's cool with me. I know I need it sometimes.

Yall know Ron can't adapt. Say PJ and start Cam.

Which pop culture is this from? I'm not recognizing it at all.

The only thing I want to emulate from GB is SB wins.

Not enough info, context unclear. Can we not get better reporting or are they all going David Newton now that Cam is back?

The funniest part is he still believes in Teblows as a football player. I get the nice guy thing, weird but if that's your flavor of idol ok. But as a NFL player there is so much obvious proof of why this guy plateaud in school. Will this place still have Darnold believers in 5 years? 'He isn't even 30 yet, it could start clicking'. Anyways

The Golden Calf of Bristol mountain

He has zero future here. Bringing him back on a 'he can improve 2.0' would cause a riot, with at least the fans and I don't think the players were far behind. He is done here. He can't even be trusted to be a backup. Cut him or trade him and eat most of that options is about it for us.

So many bad mistakes, little mistakes and some straight WTFs. Sam's trade picks are already dead and gone. Now it's about eating that Cap for a pathetic 7th rounder or going into Cap mitigation. I assume we can June 1st a 5th year option? Either way, he isn't coming back and he isn't improving his play magically next year any more than he did this year.

There is just too much to see the rest of the season for anything definite at this time. Let's get 6 games into this new setup and then we can break it down. Can Gilbert stay healthy because he is a better CB than Jackson and a better vet leader from all appearances. Can a certain QB stay healthy? Can this oline perform like last game inanother 3 to 5 weeks? Film brings a lot of reality and we just did a major switch-up. Can Reddick bring it all year? If so he is a must keep. How does that factor into Burns' upcoming contract? Does Anderson return to a 1000 yard guy? It looks that way but too early. And what do we do with Darnold? Cap hit vs trade value of a 7th two years from now should be discussed.

Both. Brady and Rhule's inadequacies in evaluations and NFL experience led to them believing in being able to easily replace Cam. Cam was coming off of 2 injured years, a whole other rant, wanting a giant contract and being very public about it. The way the staff handled it was pure ass. They held him too long, the fugged up a clean and clear PR stance and whatever Hurney was contributing to the mess. Just be up front and let him test the market or have enough backbone to look him on the eye and say no thank you and good luck. It was a great time for both to come back together.

I know I want to see an all time beat down, no mercy. And I don't care about penalties. Ron loves close games, this needs to be a blowout.

I don't know about sneak, steamroller is what I want to see. Nothing about the team on Sunday suggest sneaking will be going on. It's going to be a fun ride!

Wasn't the lead official a Denver fan? I swear I remember him or his wife was wearing Denver gear in a picture during that trip. Fug them both. As far as Teddy, it's just plain dumb to lose a starting QB because they were tackling. This looked bad but I still stand by that, regardless of whatever other team it is. I would rather have a QB available to score a makeup TD.

After a blatant uncalled helmet to helmet via Miller. They could have done anything they wanted and got away with it in that game.
