Seeing as how we are still some time away from truly competing for anything of note we are in the stages of simply competing to develop our young roster. Let the young guys get their reps and see who sticks. As much as it might hurt to let the past go given how much we like Shaq as a person it's something that must be done. You don't see perennial playoff contenders lobbying to bring back soon to be 32 year old linebackers coming off an ACL tear. Sooner or later we've gotta start acting like a franchise that wants to contend for something before the year 2030.

No. Let go and move on.

I am feeling optimistic for sure. But at this point in time in Panthers fandom talk is cheap and seeing is believing.

As a solo act I can agree with this. I've seen so many of his prank videos from back about 15 years or so ago and I have to give that guy infinite kudos and praise for creating not just one or two but multiple hilarious characters all on his own. And he was spectacular at it both on the phone and in person. If he still has all his old pranks on his channel you can go down a rabbit hole and laugh for hours. He's like the Mike Judge of pranks. Legend as far as I'm concerned.

Well we've been the exact opposite of complacent with the WR room and I am here for it. Competition will improve everyone.

The Panthers posted the call to our final draft pick Jimmy Horn Jr on X and after Morgan finished the call they had to get Tepper on the phone. I rolled my eyes and closed the video the second I saw him. It's his right as owner I'm not going to say he shouldn't be there but with everything that's transpired myself personally I have absolutely no interest in seeing him. And there's no need for anyone to try to have a pity party for him he did some things here that initially garnered a lot of goodwill toward him but he's also done a significant number of things that have led to his current reception amongst fans. And at the end of the day that is the man who decided to hire both Matt Rhule and Frank Reich. And then decided it was a good look to hold a press conference after firing Reich where he did all the talking and mispronounced the guys name. If he wants his reputation to change he needs to fall back and stay back.

Proper prank calling is a lost art. Crank Yankers is a GOAT show for this reason.

Short of Bryce Young going on to become a Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl MVP this trade will always be a big fat L. It is what it is.

If he were younger this argument would hold water but he is honestly past his expiration date as a QB in this league. We should be looking to develop a younger backup. And there's nothing wrong with that. Other successful franchises also do this. Because you never know what can happen.

What is the definition of "produce" in this context? We don't necessarily need to win I don't think anyone expects a winning record but we should absolutely improve overall and the offense undoubtedly should look significantly better both in the passing and running game. As long as Bryce is showcasing why he was the #1 pick and looking like a top 12-15 QB minimum amongst his peers then he is the guy. But if we can't even reach mid behind center with this improved supporting cast then we need to draft another quarterback it's as simple as that. All that being said. I expect Bryce to carryover the confidence leadership and passing ability he showcased at the end of the season. That is the best case scenario for all of us.

He's gotta be better than Jack Plummer though right? From what I just watched he at least has some pocket awareness and good mobility.

If and when Jeremy makes that decision then more power to him and the new owner whomever that may be. But just because he hasn't been around doesn't erase the fact many people who have come and gone and still remain owe him props and thanks for making this place what it once was in it's best days. He also could have shut this place down long ago. There are a multitude of reasons for the current state of things and most of it is related to the fact there were major changes within the organization and the team has been bad to put it kindly. Maybe better times are on the horizon though. For now just be glad this place is still going.

Another WR. Offense went from being a concern to a lot of young options. Now they just need to be developed.

I don't blame anyone at all for being pessimistic knowing this team. But this draft does definitely feel different in many ways. Some of this is legitimately down to just plain dumb luck too. We'll see.

5th

Another TE One thing for sure they are building around Bryce Young. Not giving any excuses.

Look forward to seeing him bowling over some poor bastard.

Honestly hilarious he goes to Cleveland in the 5th round after all the bluster about not wanting this team or that team.

Cam Jackson niiiice

Ransom there's your safety.

I think most of the ire is related to Brooks last year. Etienne is talented.

That writing on the wall has been there for months already. Anywho. It isn't exactly where I wanted them to throw a dart at RB just yet but we are about to pick again in another few minutes so we'll see.

Dan Morgan just can't help himself
