Uh yea that make a lot of sense since every other year he’s decent and then the next he’s complete trash. Why the confusion?

Since 1995: Jets (vs. the GOAT QB in his prime) Season Record: 183-233 (mid bottom tier) Post Season Appearances: 7 Championship Appearances: 2 Super Bowl Appearances: 0 Panthers: Season Record: 200-215-1 (top bottom tier) Post Season Appearances: 8 Championship Appearances: 4 Super Bowl Appearances: 2 Jaguars: Season Record: 177-239 (mid bottom tier) Post Season Appearances: 7 Championship Appearances: 3 Super Bowl Appearances: 0 Seems we really hold those SB loses in high regard compared to a conference loss. There are only 2 maybe 3 more teams more similar in these records, to the Panthers, than the Jets. And 3 maybe 4 more than the Jags.

you’re wrong we are in the house with the Jets. sorry

I’m always leery of guys who ‘all of a sudden get it!’ their contract year. They fooled Hurney like no ones business. He has shown some flashes though but he’s also made some really dumb mistakes. He has been improving but I would never want him on a #1 alone. Which matters because if he wants that kind of money even after a solid year (likely), not sure I’d want to resign him.

Erving already injured. I’m shocked. Who could have seen this coming?

I mean…there’s no other long term money going to the oline, specially when Paradis is goneLol might as well its sad zero (successful) investment means zero options means paying a shot ton…It’s the Hurney motto thats said if he preforms top tier yet another year in 2021, I won’t be mad about it

Pressure needs to turn to sacks or a broken play. All too often those pressures ended up being a positive play for the opposing offense. That is not ‘misleading’ to me (?). Add that to the horrible run defense. Panther allowed more average rushing yards than 28 other teams. Aside form pressure, Panthers were in the bottom 4 for INTs. That’s really bad. The backfield is certainly lacking but it won’t really matter if teams continue to run right through the Dline.

Jake also had a top oline full of steroids. Cam had a top oline in 2015 and nothing else. Oline will matter more than superior play from Darnold. History reflects that.

If we got back to all super bowl winners (or even deep playoff contenders) since inception, our oline is going to have to miraculously go from 18th to at least top 10 but more preferably top 7. The defense will also have to go up to top 5. Namely the run defense will have to rise about 20 spots or so, the pass defense 10 spots or so. Thats a pretty tall order considering the the oline, on paper, is still trash. The defense may come close. I’m more confident in that. After that believe it or not nothing really matter post season, even QB play. Because at that point all teams are doing well. At that point it’s about not making mistakes and being able to close out close out close games not so much a QB dominating like regular season. Generally speaking of course. The defense and oline preforming top tier, are the top two biggest commonalities in the past decades regarding Super Bowls. Makes you wonder why the oline is always ignored. However having said that, the season leading up to the post season will have to include top QB play, often times more than just being a game manager, though it can be done. That’s really it. A solid oline allows everyone on offense to flourish, and allows for superior execution regardless of weapons or QB. But the offense is unlike the defense where you really do need a well rounded team. Defense wins championships is very true. And an offense gets you there. But for the Panthers specifically, all those pressures from last year need to turn to sacks and the run defense has to be addressed significantly. I wouldn’t hold my breathe this year. I mean it’s very rarely done in that amount of time. Taking a 5-11 team to a super bowl victory the next year not to mention ridiculous ranking jumps. I suspect and expect a playoff run in 2022.

Well the pass defense was ranked average last year. Considering we have a blitz specialist in Reddick added as well as horn and Chinn back there, plus Burns was always better vs. the pas….I just can’t see any way we don’t pull out above average. Not much changed to address the run game however which was bad. Maybe some better LB play, but Chinn is maybe no longer there so that’s a wash. Brown and the whole dline will have to step up big time in the run game from last year to keep the backfield fresh.

Yea better than last year, but that’s not saying much. I think the biggest question on defense is the dline’s run stopping ability which was atrocious last year. And it in turn wears out everyone behind them. With the addition of Reddick and Horn and Chinn at safety, I’m honestly not that concerned about the passing defense. Lat thing they need is zero run defense like last year. I’d like to see Chinn shut down pass routes and cause havoc in the backfield rather than constantly being the cleanup guy like last year, 8+ yards down the field.

PC should probably stick to your one liner posts, no one can prove shaq is average without stats which you seem to hate yet offer no alternative and in the same breath think your emotions prove he’s great while referencing a contract from Hurney as proof the team feels he’s great too lol homer and a fan are different fans can be critical and homer’s cant youre the same guy who loved the KK extensions and signing despite other ‘idiots’ not agreeing with you while his contract crippled the team same person who thought Fox and Rivera were the greatest coaches of all time and did no wrong and JR was an excellent person/owner because enter justification here this is a homer in every sense of the word, with zero self awareness or critical thinking as a fan defensive with insults, quick to point out inadequacies yet no solutions

Is there another source you use besides PFF?

20 million for a 4-3 LB and he is ‘under appreciated’ lol. I could’ve appreciated BB a lot more for a lot less. How do you appreciate that? So the contract isn’t his fault, fine. But neither was Teddy’s…where is his appreciation? As a fan of the team I can’t appreciate Shaq for 20 million sorry. Shaq is not Luke and he could easily be replaced. For every solid tackle he whiffs, and he cannot blitz worth a poo. His dumbass contract will be the last of Hurney’s that will cripple the team in.

Just that old southern redneck accent confused with words like were, was, is saw and seen. Charlotte feels like a small town because…it is one. I’d actually call it a mid sized city. But I population size is skewed because of the area that actually counts as ‘Charlotte’. I do miss the trees though and it is a nicer city, no doubt about that.

Really just depends. Since the best ones are still playing (Jones and Evans), who are both on track to be better than Smitty. Smitty is not the best WR or even second IMO. We can go back and forth with excuses and justifications all day long but those are the facts.

Highly contemplating buying a Panther jersey with this on the back.

They forgot to mention when he ripped open his hand punching through his wife’s parent’s window on Christmas after getting sloshed instead of visiting with his kids which resulted in a protective order. Multiple players from different teams in NFL have spoke out they do not want him in the locker room period. That says a lot. I think one team even had him come work out for them to ‘assess his mental state’ (forgot who it was) and very quickly said fug no. He is unstable and surrounds him self with unstable people (shocking).

you always say this ever time someone was signed to the number 1 speculated team by literally everyone else

That is correct, unless you happen to be in an area DirectTV does not service (rare). Then you’d be able to stream it separately. There is absolutely no legal way for a fan of an out of market team to watch live games without DirectTV. And it will cost you $3,000 to do so. Either update your virus protector or get your lube ready.

Not sure if you moved, but you can ONLY stream NFL ticket without a subscription if you are NOT in an area DirectTV services.

Balls. I just read more articles and it appears you’re correct. Some are just outdated I guess. So if you just want NFL for the next two season you MUST have DTV with: 69.99 x 12 months (first year NFL ticket free) 109.99 x 12 months + 300.00 for 2022 season. = nearing $3,000.00 for two NFL seasons lol In 2021/22 are we really in an age where this is necessary? I mean really, this is extreme. This is why people illegally stream it. Just offer an NFL package to buy and stream instead of a selling point to coax people into an inferior broadcast provider. If it wasn’t inferior, you wouldn’t need to.

Kinda slow around here so perhaps this topic will interest someone. DirectTVs rights to out of network games are up at the end of this season. ESPN+ is likely getting them and claim they will make it much easier to stream out of market games. As an out of market fan this is glorious. I’m tired of shady sites of ads, malware, poor quality etc. I just want to watch my Panthers and relax. I don’t mind a reasonable fee (though I think it’s insane the NFL basically punishes and outcasts it’s out of market fans in the name of local marketing and revenue, but that’s another topic). As of now DirectTV is offering packages starting at $69.99 WITH NFL ticket included. It does not appear at this point you can buy just the NFL pass for $300 like years’ past (gee, I wonder why). A 24 month agreement is required...yet NFL ticket will only be included this year, not next year. People will be hooked into a year+ extra contract without rights to, let’s face it, the only reason people have DirectTV in the first place. DirectTV continues their sleazy, fine print, bullshit ways. Many people are saying it will finally die once it loses NFL Sunday Ticket and I say good riddance.
