It was the only logical move to make at this juncture. Now we have options.

I don't think you fully understood the post sir. Woke is a tired term and in general I only see it used by politicians pandering for votes or grifters lining their pockets off simpletons. Maybe one day you'll have an awakening.

It's always amusing to see the same people who insinuate anything someone doesn't like is racist basically apply the exact same concept to anything they deem to be woke. Maybe just spend less time watching cable news.

Oh geez people are citing the dinner the Tepper's had with Stroud? Have we not learned how meaningless all that is by now? And the misogyny stuff really needs to die. Anyone who has made sexual remarks has been shouted down as they should. For some reason though that's drifted into any general criticism anyone might have. Like it's controversial to say she shouldn't be involved in football decisions. Sorry but she's basically Ivanka in NFL circles. That's one of the contributing factors for why our team has been a dumpster fire. I don't like acknowledging it either but facts are facts.

The original owner of the team and the man who was behind the branding at the time was a notorious racist who was forced to integrate black players to the point the lease on his stadium was almost revoked. Attempting to go back to that would be ridiculous.

It might be years from now but eventually Reich and McCown will speak on how it all went down. Until then anything that makes the Tepper's look like anything less than incompetent fools in over their heads should be taken with a grain of salt.

What does this even mean? It's like saying gonorrhea is better than chlamydia.

I was a Panthers fan before the Tepper's and I'll be one after. If folks like you want to shine shoes you're welcome to do so. Maybe Dave and Nicole will notice you and give you a pat on the head big guy. Keep your dream alive.

lol @ pooing posts over this. Enjoy another losing season.

It's only newsworthy for some folks who want to simp for whatever reason. Anyone with eyes and a functioning brain only has to go back to CJ Stroud's proday. No warm embrace from either of the Tepper's and we barely got a glimpse of Dave. It was Reich and McCown who were beaming from ear to ear. But no all along Nicole was staunchly pro Stroud.

She liked CJ Stroud so much it took almost an entire calender year for this to come out? I've got a very lovely bridge to sell anyone that believes this.

It's brutal to read when you consider that many here were saying the same things before the draft and were attacked for it.

The Falcons have a pretty good versatile young playmaker at RB and a possible stud TE if he develops but what else really? Fields has to take several steps as a passer for me to be too worried about him joining the Falcons. We'll see.

From a sprawling state of the art practice facility to a "fieldhouse"?

I do too. I was rather underwhelmed by the hire. I'm not reading much into anything Dan or Dave Canales are saying at the combine or the upcoming draft at this point. Been there done that buying into fluff and hype. The Panthers social media has bamboozled us time and time again. Talk is cheap. I'm all about that action. Show me results.

The Bucks are going in dry tonight. Well it was fun while it lasted ya'll.

One of the best elite WR's in years and he will only be turning 25 this summer? Definitely kick the tires. But he also has to want to be here. I mean the Vikings aren't exactly a top notch destination but we're in the cellar until proven otherwise. I know and I understand why people don't want to hear it because many of us want instant results but if we are going to turn this around it's going to have to be via very good drafting.

That's Dr. Lunker aka Mr. Tepper's personal shoe shiner. Don't give him attention.

That was awesome. Just be careful out here some of these young guys are quick to get into the gunplay nowadays. Glad it only ended with some hurt egos.

I think it's misguided to put the lack of culture on any single player. Particularly those on defense when the most important player on the team finished with one of the lowest yards per attempt in NFL history. By midseason every other defense out there including ours because they practice against each other knew we were limited and some throws and basically half the field were simply off the table that was pretty much it. I wouldn't be inclined to go full bore and risk my career to a fluke injury watching Bryce Young's historic rookie season either. We can keep pointing fingers but whether it's Brian Burns or Derrick Brown or whichever FA or rookie pass rusher we acquire if our offense doesn't begin to resemble an actual NFL unit eventually anyone is going to get tired of it and stop going the extra mile. I'm fully on board with switching more resources to the offense because that's where the league is going. But we should be clear with each other right here right now that if our pass rush looks like ass in the regular season some of ya'll are going to flip flop and be rage posting about it. Don't kid yourselves.

I've gone back and forth on Burns for the last few months. At the end of the day no matter which side I fall into one aspect that does not change is all this feels eerily familiar to the discussions we had about both Christian McCaffrey and DJ Moore. Remember that at one point even Derrick Brown was talked about the way Brian Burns is now. I put the odds at 85% that if he is traded to a good franchise he experiences a career resurgence and we see a lot of tunes change here about him and folks act like they didn't want to trade him.

His avatar being him walking with his luggage is amusing.

Oh I completely agree. I've been saying all along if Bryce debuts at camp looking like a newer man he has a legitimate shot at turning this around. If he shows up looking mostly the same physically I'm scouting QB's for 2025. Straight up.
