Panthers traditionally have some good ones Thinking we'll see the usual Techmo Bowl or Street Fighter video game parodies, but what do you think will be new? Hopefully we won't see Nashvilles "name the logo part 3". While funny as heck, it's been done

This was an NFL appearance, not Xavier at the Derby on his own accord

Legette using a hobby horse as a microphone holder is gold He definitely didn't phone in the opportunity. Good exposure for him and the Panthers.

Counterpoint: Darnold wasn't great when he played for us; under different management he turned into gold Similar situation for Mayfield. Wasn't great here, ended up being good down in Tampa Bryce has proven to have skills, but had horrible coaching in year one. Year two shows what coaching changes can do. Sometimes it's not the player per se, but what/who the player is surrounded by that makes the difference

Last off-season: Bryce says he spent the time avoiding football while hanging out with family, playing video games, and shopping. After the rookie season he had, it was probably what he needed to do to get his mind off what happened This off-season: he was playing catch with T-Mac in January and called in to D&D to say, "let's do this". I think we're going to see a different, confident/improved Bryce this year than folks are expecting when compared to how he came in at the start of year 2

Same energy

Speaking of, where's Salesman* these days? (*not their Huddle name, IIRC)

NFL analysts confirm Panthers GM Dan Morgan committed draft larceny Dan Morgan had a decent collection of picks during the 2025 NFL Draft. That doesn’t always guarantee success, but the Carolina Panthers general manager emerged from his second selection process with significant credit. Morgan played his draft board masterfully. He struck with conviction when opportunities arose, and brought high-character individuals into the organization who should fit seamlessly into head coach Dave Canales’ culture shift. Each draft pick and undrafted free agent must prove themselves in an NFL setting, but fans were thrilled with the haul. (As seen on Bluesky, but those embeds aren't working here yet _ https://bsky.app/profile/rawnfl.bsky.social/post/3lnxnosfzju2d source: https://www.rawchili.com/nfl/10067/

looking forward to us getting at least above 16 again. We've been there before, we'll be there again

Here for the "Cheap AND high quality?" comment

The Athletic has us ranked 28th on their post-draft power rankings, mainly due to us picking T-Mc instead of defense in round 1. They recognize we needed WR help, but... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6317651/2025/04/29/nfl-power-rankings-post-draft-rookies-eagles-chiefs-bills/

An alternativd: Bluesky has a growing Panthers community and NFL coverage

Hopefully when Zod finishes the platform upgrade, it'll be to v4.7.20 where they have Bluesky embed capability too!!

"Bryce was throwing absolute dimes on third down. They just weren't caught." Gives a little more insight on what D&D's vision is on the Off rebuild
