Yea it was a prior issue with eddie and panther 50+ yarders. Both sides were right, for a time Eddie was the most accurate kicker in NFL history. But the distance issue and he was a Chris Tabor guy. I was a pro-Eddie defender and guess what.... I still didnt want to pay nothing much above min.....just a bad kicker market for kickers. I don't know alot about kickers, but I know this as a fact. Kickers are confidence based, the moment they loss it, you need to hold try-outs. Very similar to golfers, they need to believe and be able to recover from a bad swing. CSW said in a piece he'd trust Fitz with his life!!!! Others sounded off support too. Fitz has already showed me enough and the kickoff shenanigans have been a big bonus. He has given the Panthers field position, that's huge value form a kicker, saving points from being scored while being a scorer.

BC is playing great as a RG, but cobett can play either OG and C. BC can play all 5 spots and do it well, I lost a bet thinking some team would see he's valued. Glad BC is a panther and I hope he stays a few more years!! He's worth keeping around. Mays can and as been injuries before, that would leave some guy signed off ravens PS. Sure cobett hasn't stayed healthy long enough, but he's still NFL roster worthy even at this stage/age/injuries.

I was a huge Eddie supporter. Guess what after the top 4 or so Kickers, the 6-30 group is the same bag. I prefer the save cap space and not have some 14th ranked kicker making top 5 salary. Rightfully so, Eddie wanted $$$$$ and commit. Facts are there are too many NFL kickers out there, around 44 guys would be good enough if given the chance. So it's doesn't make sense to pay up when only 32 get to kick on game days. Fitz has the new KO stuff, it doesn't make a field position difference. starting from the 20 is totally different than 40-35. If you are on the 40, couple of 1st downs and their kicker FG range. Panthers made the right choice for once, Fitz is legit and cheap!

I hate bait like this after a WIn........ I mean why are the Panthers losing, so BY needs to make a comeback..... ugh...

Who knows bro, this was the type of win that can change your whole season for the better.

A'Shawn has been a monster.

This type of game that bring you stans and us haters together!! He did play very well with no excuses. *For the stans- In bad weather with Backup on the right side, backup RB, missing #1 TE and missing Coker. Still played like a real NFL QB

He played this game very well, nothing wrong can be said. Weather was not the best either.

Eddie wanted $$$$$$$$, Fitz is cheap and under control for 3 years.

These two weeks are most impressed RB Ive ever seen form a panther RB. CMC, Stew, Dwill, Davis <<<<<<<<< Rico how on earth?? Dowdle is like a better prime foreman, better hands and better speed. But like foreman breaks tack like I break hearts.....

He part of this growing class that is CHANGING the losing culture. His impact on KOs is huge too, he's under contract for 3 years too.

He made a bad mistake and apologized for it. Don't worry within a few weeks he will give us fans more rage bait and the cycle will continue...

Someone will go on IR following this Dallas game and Coker will be the call.

I was a Skatt fan and bump the draft thread was before the 4th and I was pleading for him.

I think he's more than just that role. I view Dan and Brandt as CO-GMs. If you watch the blueprint(fyi there's a new one this Friday with focus on rookies), Brandt is doing lots of the calling to the other GMs and he's giving input on players during. You know he vouched for Wharton and nearly everyone signed was younger than 26 years of age. That was by his design in rebuilding this bad team, knowing it takes years... Right now, gun to my head and make me pick one- Brandt easy choice. If you listen to him talk NFL; he maybe known for numbers, but he knows talent and players. 100% hes got ideas on how to run a team and Panthers are implementing some of them.

I thought he only had one year in, but it does look like he came with Dan in 2023. I know Brooks puts that group in a deep hole. Still the others are contributing. XL- had his best game and maybe that's enough for him to be a factor in future games Wallace- Switched to the green dot and playing better each passing week after a horrendous start. Sanders- he's the #1 TE and just when he getting going with recs and yards, he gets nick'd.( he's back this week) CSW- Much like sanders, getting going and then a minor injury hits. He's still the starting NB and not a weak point Crumedy- Part of a legit rotation and has gotten snaps without issues Are we counting UDFAs??- Coker is back, Richardson is a main STer and still waiting for a turn at S, Tremayne is a ST guy and the top backup for WRs. they should get credit for finding him and hitting on the others listed. Far from dogshit and yes it could be much better given the top two picks. Still 4, yes 4 starters, 1 backup and a prayer. Add in the UDFAs, its not the worst class. I will say this rating does change too much after 4 weeks are played. XL can get better and its not too much asking for him to be a #2 type of impact on this team that doesn't pass much. Brooks can shock the world and replace RIco next year, no team knows better about 2x ACL tears to same the knee. (I give him 50/50 never taking another snap). Still he has legit game breaker talent, 50% he could take chubbas top spot as well. Whatever you get is just a bonus. For this group, lets see at seasons end and who remains for the starting 2026. I feel thats fair and not his constant judging each week too many lows and highs.... They are young men trying to figure out the NFL meat grinder. * Brandt/Dan also got a future 2nd in that draft. Plus they kept a 2nd in the draft as well. That lead to getting Nic Scortheearth. If Nic fails, its still a great value at adding a future 2nd....when they didn't have one from the bear trade(thanks tepper/Scott).

The main deal is they are playing better than the 32nd rank unit. Certain groups/players have improved since the seasons start ie LBs, edges, and safety. I wanted to ban Evero form coaching at times last year....... The test is this weekend. I do feel they are around the 18th "best" defense. Sure there have been some awful teams, still I will take this 2025 season over 2024. DL seem to be strength and injuries don't matter (minus dbrown). CBs- Horn is a top 20 guy and even tho Mike Jack just had his worst game, he's had 20 other super solid ones. LB- They have improved each week and yes its still the top weak spot for the roster nerds. Safety- Rock says "Know your role" They are understanding that now. Similar to LBs, improved each week, yes even Nick " Im out in the parking lot depth " Scott. I mean if want the best part, given many are in their 1st and second NFL seasons.....future does in fact look like its going to decent at least. Plus these young bodies are getting snaps and making positive plays. I don't think Ive ever seen this many young players playing well at the same time. Think about it - 2027 lineup ROLB- Nic scortheearth DE- Dbrown NT- Cam Jackson DE- Crumedy LOLB- Prince ILB- Wallace ILB- 2026 2nd/3rd rounder CB- Horn CB- 2027 1st rounder/maybe Thorton??? NB- CSW SS- Ransom S- Trevian Thomas Key backups- Bam, Thorton, Richardson, Reid, Harrsion-Hunter If they keep getting better and develop, it will not be the best defense but it should be legit enough to be respected.

I hate how the collective bargaining agreement has nearly ruined football, BY needs practice and lots more of it. But due to rules and such, he's unable to do so with teammates. Him and Hunter just need a couple hard week to get in sync, same for healthy XL.

What about this fellow-
