I love this idea

As much as I like penix, his o line has been unreal good for him this year. I'm curious to see how he does under pressure. Not to knock on him, because I like him more than Bryce pre-draft last year, but I have some similar worries for him that I did Bryce

poo on Jeff Otah all we want, but the dude was a dominant run blocker for us at RT for his prime. As fans, we need to realize we are pretty much running the complete opposite scheme that we did last year and are asking a dominant run blocking tackle to be a finesse, West Coast pass blocking tackle... In no way is it Ickys fault this scheme sucks for him... We either have to go to a more run focused, play action playbook on offense (this would immensely help Bryce in my opinion also) or force icky to play guard/trade him. It's honestly that simple

We could honestly play both divisions of the ACC and struggle to have a winning record... That is literally how bad we are

What if he threw his beer at a black person (or any minority for that matter). Would that constitute racism?

Such a weird reaction by Tepper. Did the fan say something to him (if so, awesome - hopefully he called him a cuck like the rest of us would)? If not, just weird to do what he did. Regardless, punish the hell out of him NFL and force him to sell the team.

Icky never had a chance to succeed at LT in this system. He is a power run blocker being asked to be a finesse pass blocker. One of 2 things need to happen - 1) ditch the system for a more run balanced, play action system; 2) move Icky to guard.

Honestly, I am glad DJ Moore is enjoying having a halfway competent QB that can actually remotely throw a deep ball throwing to him. I miss him, but he deserves better than this dumpster franchise (as did CMC). Honestly, Brown and Luvu deserve to play for a better team also.

Since we actually have our first round draft pick in 2025, I am sure we will dick around and accidentally win 5 or 6 games and end up picking 8th or 9th again... It's the Panthers way

Any chance the NFL sees this as worse as Jerry Richardson's shenanigans? Crossing my fingers and praying they blackball Tepper from the NFL now

And sadly, I think that is a higher number than the current fans we still have.... But yeah, I want Russell Wilson nowhere near Carolina

Payton does like his basic white midget QBs to make him look good

Always trust in pyotr the great!!! But seriously, I am happy to see him do well! He has always had the stuff to be an elite goalie and hopefully this is the start of that

Glad to see that Bryce played well against Green Bay, but let's not forget that our ex trash QB Baker Mayfield had the game of his life against them not too long ago... I want him to succeed, but need to see more from him

We are in the first year of running a true 3-4 and our defense has done pretty damn well, despite not having the right pieces at several positions. Get a nose tackle, another ILB (possibly two if we cut shaq), and one or two edge rushers depending on whether we resign burns or not and our D will be very good. Top priority has to be a nose tackle though - you look at all the great 3-4 defenses that have existed and you will find the common theme was they all had a very good run stopping, blocker eating nose tackle to clear the way for the linebackers

Let's be honest... Even if they do get caught red-handed, things won't change

The NFL got exactly what they wanted - The Panthers covered the spread which made Vegas a lot of money and the Packers won which made a lot of bandwagon fans happy. If we want refs to start calling plays in our favor, then we need to not be a poverty franchise

I don't think anybody here is arguing that our defense is elite talent wise. What we are arguing is that Evero is somehow making a bottom 10 (possibly bottom 5) talent defense look pretty damn good. You put Luke, TD, Shaq, prime Norman, and all of the great pass rushers we had on this defense and I'm sure Evero would have them playing as good, if not better, than our best D years of the mid-late 2010s

Our defensive stats have far outperformed our defensive talent this year, especially when you factor in injuries. Defense is ranked 3rd in the NFL in yards against and would be better in points allowed/game if our offense didn't spot the other team 10 points with awful turnovers and constantly giving good field position to the other opposing offense. Evero has done a remarkable job IMO despite having one of the worst offenses I have ever seen constantly putting the defense in bad situations

Well said and completely agree

Aahh, ok. Yeah, wouldn't blame them. I wouldn't want the stink of having to coach this terrible team

100% agree. I thought I just read your previous reply of if they stay meaning that they could get jobs as the same role on another team. Evero 100% could, brown 0.001% chance could

Possibly. I don't see brown leaving if we allow him to keep his OC job - I just don't think he is very good. Evero I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to leave

Sounds better to me. I usually have one or two shots around where I'm teetering on the point of hitting a house about 50 yards off the fairway

I wouldn't read too much into that. I think that's more of letting them focus on their job instead of having them call plays and focus on their job. Brown wasn't even calling plays until 2 weeks before Reich was fired...
