Yea im beyond sick of watching gambling ads non-stop. I know with even a DVR, if you see a gambling ad, its either the first commercial or game is back. Its a super turn-off, but I know the beast thats its become. But like my old friend that was a Correctional Officer told me about gambling- " You can not stop inmates form doing it, they will bet on which water droplet fails first or which fly leaves first ". I feel that way about drugs too.... Im just fatigue about it among many things force on us especially if its hypocritical or BS.

Just to add panthers also have the youngest OC in the league and its not close.....thielen is older.

Yea, it has a bad feel about it. I get it, once you look at the roster, watch the tape, know the investment they have in young.....its a lose/lose deal. If morgan and caralass pull it off within three years, build a fuging heavens tall statue of each next to sam mills. I dont blame him one bit, take that 6 year multi-million lotto ticket. I just dont see him being able to over-come the least talented roster, no depth, no young talent, few great picks, and you are forced to play young with the hope hes turns into a NFL QB...... This job will take years off his life....dave better find him one of these fast-

I watched them for you. Dave came off as a lamb being lead to slaughter while dropping coach speak quotes. Dan looked off the meth and said what every single GM says - " want tough, smart, guys that are all football". Each feel WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY over their heads about the rebuild ahead. More I see about caralas, the less I like the hire. I hated the rhule hire, its not that bad, but right now Id want evero leading this rebuild rather than a guy seahawks never gave a OC job too after 14 years there..... ALLL while he was "loved" by pete and staff......like what is that poo??? Only the panthers gave him a call to interview for HC and thats with carales qualifying for the rooney diversity hire. I was thinking about win/lost over/under and this made me put the number at 3.5. *bonus- i think smart money is the under* Dan has to draft like the best GM in NFL history the next three years(missing a 2nd next....) and canalas needs to figure out how to be a NFL HC while being one. Just feels like this will get feel ugly fast, just my honest feel right now.

Just like with young at QB, the panthers need to hope/pray that icky can be the answer at LT. Honestly with the team needing everything minus safety and STs, there is a chance that the current OL plays well enough to be average. focus&spend resources at edge, TE, WR and find some depth at every spot. That was the main issue with OL, no IOL depth, it was PS level players. Thus boze, icky, and young looked even worse than they are. Mays let me down and they wavied thundercock for some reason. Sure he sucked, but he was the least suxx among the PS depth.

yea guyz, im starting to think david trepper is not a good owner......

yea after his daughter died and hes coming off the career killer achilles injury, mix in 4.5 sacks too. this is a bad move, but thats what panthers do...

so the least talented team with the lucky 2-15 record needs to trade another byce young-like package for WR that is demanding to be the highest paid WR?? this is a huddle dream if ever, but whom am i to crush it...... carry on.

lamb to the slaughter

Ive heard former GMs talk that hotel bars are where a surprising amount of trades happen, not as much as past years. Most happen at the combine.

Yea I dont even think the tag is fair, too much. Still the panthers are in a awful spot- pay far too much or lose one of 4-5 talented players. I dont get burns and all his PR stuff about " i dont like moving, i dont like change, love the panthers, etc etc"(must be BS) Then he wants QB money for RB value. His team/agent must have been told by other teams they are willing to drop 30 per. Burns is only 25 years old with five years of NFL exp. That is rare for any spot especially DE/edge guys. I mean DJ johnson was a 2023 draftee and he was 25 then. Panthers are going to lose either way it feels like.....

Smitty missed a couple predictions, so that means he sucks?? Please........anyone that feels that way, list your top 10 rookie WRs and lets check the list after some time. Smitty is as good as they come about rookie WRs, holy hell @ "hes not batting 1.000 crowd"

didnt he have two acl injuries among other issues?

If I were GMing da bears, Id make sure each year form now Id always have two 1st rounders. Like trade back a small amount and get a future 1 along with the current and mine. Lastest update about them- Caleb Williams will be the pick and fields just took them off his SM.

I got you now about the 1.8 vs 900 deal. Sometimes a drafted class does increase the 51 floor, but I understand your point point that -900k + 1.8 doesnt = +1.8 I believe a big part of the issue is the signing bonus counts no matter. Thats the 86k hit, its a portion of allotted SB. Its guaranteed and spent, unlike the per game contract were you can get cut anyday during. Plus another deal we are missing is early drafted rookies contracts are nearly all guaranteed, unlike if you signed a 5th year guy. That 33rd drafted player will get 10 million if hes cut during TC and that counts against the cap. That maybe why its 1.8 cause the SB and contract are fully guaranteed(*nearly) Also I noticed during the season the panthers had 1-2 spots left open on game days. Then you got PS call ups and form what I know they get more money up to 4 times a year. Again taking cap space. I think there are veteran exceptions about paying more while the cap number is listed lower, which makes understanding it harder too.

You got it figured out and correct.

Add in free agency too. The best player on each side were UDFAs that each of their former teams didnt care to resign. If you view eddy > johnny , then add STs as well. Panthers kept on re-signing there own bad players form 5 win teams. I think feel they need a new strength staff as well. The last few years the team plays soft and weak. Then theres been more injuries as well. Team is de-void of talent and no depth for the below average starters. Roster truly needs around 40 players and thats if young somehow turns out ok. Just the timeline of mass exodus of leadership and talent form the rivera era into the poor player player development era of rhule(which is a big reason he was hired), then limp dick frank reich not wanting to fix this mess he signed up for. You got the giant mess of a expansion level NFL team with very little cap space for the 4-5 guys that need 20 million per type contracts. There will be no texans like turn-around here.

Wilson sat out the final 5 or so games too. He was playing much better than the start, it was the opposite of howell. Just didnt run paytons plays like he wanted and they fell out of the playoff race. If not for payton, id say broncos have it worse than the panthers. Both will struggle for the next three years barring miracles.

Picks in rounds 2,3,4 are simply more than the 51st. Normally the cut off point for most 51st is around 900,000. I dont know what you are asking, sportac list both the cap and 51st cap numbers. Best I know lots guys have the 51st number.

Still blows my mind that young was the consensus #1 pick and now one year later you got all these looky loons coming out with " Told youz guyz he sucks ass!" I think about 70% of the huddle was "young is the better player" by draft day. It's still a nightmare for us cj stroud fan boys with young on the team.....

Wasnt he in the fresh prince?!?!?

Deal is more than likely the BPA will be an offensive player. Besides safety, punter, LS(age tho..), kicker. Panthers need talented starters and depth everywhere. Even if morgan starts hitting on rounds 2-7, it will still take 3 years min, to even think about .500. Thats if the other nfc south teams keep terrible HCs employed and dont find a franchise QB during those 3 years. Odds are they will hire better coaches and at least one will find that golden QB. Which pushes the panthers to 5 years before they are able to post a winning record. Sad times bros...
