SOJA

Yea but we can't feasibly replace every single lineman in one offseason. Paradis would be average with better talent around him but I agree a rookie at C should be looked at

Here is how I fix the Panthers in one offseason: One) Sign Terron Armstead this offseason. IDC what it costs. Sign him to a ridiculous three year deal. Two a) Explore but don't break the bank for Rodgers/Wilson. I would not do anything wild but if a Stafford like deal was there pull the trigger. I'm excluding Watson for obvious reasons but should he be cleared of any legal wrongdoing I would explore that as well. Two b) Draft Corral or Malik Willis. Three) Trade Sam Darnold to the Broncos for a fourth rounder. (TBH I'm just willing this into existence) Four) With every remaining draft pick draft OG. Five) Convert Christensen to Guard fulltime. New O-line Armstead-Christensen-Paradis-Rookie/Daley/Brown-Moton

Maybe I shouldn't have hired the dude just because he wears sweatpants

If your hopes and dreams for this class were pinned on Deonte Brown I have some bad news for you my friend

If we lose to a Vikings team without Thielen and Jefferson it's time to just turn in for the season

It will

Alright I'll spoil it for you guys/gals: 1st Quarter- Panthers receive kick. They execute a nice little drive that ultimately stalls out at the 25. Zane Gonzales hits the kick. 3-0 Panthers. Defense gets an excellent stop and sacks Kirk Cousins. We come back on a short field and Darnolds hits Robby Anderson for a touchdown on a wide open double move. Panthers 10-0 Huddle is rejoicing. Chuck makes a new account just to join the game thread. 2nd Quarter- Minn threatens but ultimately a costly turnover nets them 0 points. The panthers move the ball well, but an untimely holding penalty costs Hubbard a huge run. Two drives net in another Zane Gonzales FG. Panthers 13-0. Despite only having 54 total yards the entire half, Minn executes the 2 min drill perfectly and steal a FG right as the clock expires. Panthers 13-3. Somehow, no one seems particularly worried the panthers should be up 21+ points right now. The huddle takes halftime off to discuss the finer points of mRNA vaccines. 3rd Quarter- Zod has already proclaimed that the Panthers are winning the Superbowl and Terrell McClain will be the superbowl MVP. Minn comes out guns blazing and leaves our defense flat footed on an easy touchdown. Panthers 13-10. Sam Darnold gets sacked to end consecutive drives. The defense holds strong but ultimately gives up a FG. Tied 13-13. Darnold, now trying to get the mojo back from the first half, forces a ball to Moore which turns into a pick 6 by Patrick Peterson (still exorcising BoA demons from that Arizona NFC championship game). Minn 20-13. The huddle game chat goes nuclear, there is at least three different posts correlating vaccine mandates to the Panthers sudden downturn from 3-0. 4th Quarter. A sack fumble from Darnold turns into three points for Minn. Minn 23-13. Panthers respond and have a good drive, that is again, hamstringed by penalties. Ultimately Rhule punts on 4-2 from the Vikings 43. The punt nets 18 yards as it rolls in the endzone off the foot of *insert name here of new punter*. The defense pulls a rabbit out of there ass and makes Kirk Cousins really like that by getting a crushing INT. The o line summons their darkest energy and somehow puts together a competent drive. It ends in a FG however despite being 4th and goal from the three. Minn 23-16. With two minutes left the defense forces Minn off the field. The Panthers drive starts with a dart to DJ Moore, who absorbs contact from a MAC truck but somehow stays upright, and gains 20 yards. The Huddle gets their hopes up. Sam throws an ill advised pick to Robby in double coverage on the next play. Vikings win.

exactly why I've been yelling to start Irving at LG, he's actually a decent guard

great fuging question Joe! That is not sarcasm.

Strange concept but if you've followed this team for longer than this press conference you'd know that this organization has been coddling Sam from the jump.

Right now Malik Willis is the only guy I'm high on. I bet one of these other guys will pan out but they all seem to have weakness. Have not watched Corrales admittedly

I'm a UNC fan but man it would be AWESOME if we drafted a guy who is from Charlotte and then went to college in NC and he became a stud at LT, would be such a great story. Rooting for this kid no matter what honestly

We *should* win this game at home. But the Vikings absolutely can beat us, and quite frankly I expect them to if we play like we did against the Eagles. All I know is the next four games are winnable: Minn-ATL-NYG-NE and we need all of them because in the last 4/8 we see TB x 2, ARI, and BUF which very well could be 0-4, maybe 1-3

We don't have a bunch of draft picks to throw at the Texans for Watson lol

It is insane how much Rhule protects Sam

I have a bad feeling about every game

Holy fuging poo the mad man did it

He's still one of the best CBs in the NFL (when healthy) Is he healthy? Who knows. I can't see CAR being a legit contender unless we offer him a huge deal (which is risky and doesn't play into us trying to maintain cap flexibility) or he really wants to be back in the Carolinas. I can see us offering him a one year loaded deal. The problem is if he wants to do a one year deal why not sign with the Bucs (whose secondary is now complete trash) or the Chiefs and be on an instant contender? I'd love to have Gilmore mentor Jaycee though.

Our offensive line so far has been serviceable when I expected them to be far below average

I love Baldy

this is a trap game if I've ever seen one Thursday night/short week (check) away game (check) Houston team who no one believes in but has been competitive their first two games (check) Starting a rookie QB who we don't have much film on (check) The panthers should win this game, that being said we have really left off the gas peddle in both our first two games. If we show up and do that for four quarters in Houston I could totally see Houston winning a low scoring slugfest and us all standing there scratching our nuts

well what we absolutely can't do is go there and show up like we've played the last two second halves. This game should be a win but HOU has been far more competitive this year than anyone expected.

fumble at the goal line is a metaphor for most panthers games

why the fug would tepper do this? Such a terrible decision

I mean those are pretty reasonable takes. I'm far less optimistic about chances against the Saints...Jameis looked great and Payton is probably the best coach in the league. They are also talented and established. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a blowout. Hoping for the best, but the Panthers can not play like they did last week with wasted opportunities if they expect to compete in this game
