Well we know why he rolls out. But with 34 games worth of tape out there for defenses to chew on it's not fooling anyone anymore. They expect it and react accordingly. And lately whenever he immediately bails from the pocket it just ends up with him putting the ball on the ground. If he struggles to protect the football again in a game with sloppy weather conditions they need to do what's best for the team.

The optimist in me says he can't be much worse than some of the other turnstiles we've started at tackle over the years. But the pessimist says expect pain. Either way I have low expectations for our passing offense.

The huddle has been calling for people of all walks of life to be fired for over 2 decades now. Dying on a hill for David Newton of all people is just embarrassingly tacky. Please stop. Thanks.

Moton being out certainly hurts but the hit dog mentality is tiring. Guys on other teams get hurt too. We're at home. If this team is ever going to emerge as any kind of contender they need to overcome adversity.

Honestly. The fact that David Newton is paid any amount of money to be a "journalist" is a black eye for all of civilization.

I agree he is terrible and the team needs a better beat reporter. But I don't see anything happening. Maybe when the Panthers finally start contending again we'll finally get someone else.

It was unintentional but there's no reason David Newton can't do a little basic research beforehand on who he's interviewing. And XL is now in his second season so it's even more inexcusable.

$315.8 million in career earnings. He doesn't need the money anyways.

Ordinarily I would say a potentially messy weather game at home for a team with an opportunistic defense and a stout backfield should be a close game. But the problem is our QB beyond his lack of physical tools and poor footwork has been very panicky when the pocket collapses. We'll see.

What does Brooks have to do with Skattebo? He has 9 career NFL carries and won't increase that number until at least next year. Besides Skattebo was a 4th round pick. And the folks who want to carry water do know the whole purpose of drafting an RB high is to get immediate production while on their rookie deal yes?

The Eagles can be an enigma at times but by the end of the season as long as they're in the playoff hunt they'll be tough to beat.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4402432/2023/04/14/panthers-nfl-draft-samir-suleiman/ I like him but let's keep things in perspective and take things slow. There's a lot of football left to play.

Tagging Norman should have been an obvious move. Instead we let him walk and then a year later that horrendous panic signing of Matt Kalil happened.

Nazi comparisons because people are rightfully criticizing the 4th highest paid player on the roster spotting the other team points is peak mental illness.

He's washed it is what it is father time is undefeated which is what some people were saying months ago. But some folks were in their feelings and trying to prop him up like he was a future hall of famer because he slogged his way to 1k receiving yards in the worst passing offense in the league.

10th in pass defense 14th in run defense. Certainly much better than last year. But we've got some tougher offenses coming up.

Glad to hear they are taking accountability and pushing one another. Need more of that for sure.

The holier than thou "all these other people are toxic and I'm completely perfect and have never done nothing wrong ever" shtick has worn on most people who are actually seeing the posts now but somehow it's still not clicking. But what are ya gonna do. You can lead a horse to water...

Hilarious.

I understand where you're coming from in terms of how you feel about Morgan. I would argue that if Morgan was indeed as skeptical as you suggest at that time then he would have made a real attempt to have a legitimate fallback plan in place this year after seeing his #1 overall pick begin the regular season two (now three) consecutive years in a row playing poorly.

Ah yes everyone on the roster exists solely to either make Bryce look better or be his scapegoat.

We won't know who specifically was fully in on him before the draft unless Reich speaks out in a couple years and that's only if he chooses to do so. Ultimately I get the sense far too much emphasis was placed on factors not pertaining to assessing the viability of his physical abilities on the field (not participating at the combine given the level of investment that was made should have been a moment of clarity) and moreso on the hype revolving around his football IQ and his personality. The word at the time was that he simply wowed everyone at that dinner before the draft which I assume included Dan Morgan along with Fitterer and Tepper. This fully lines up with how things went down with the Matt Rhule hire too where instead of an approach of due diligence it was an impulsive reaction of being caught up in a moment and deciding this is our guy we don't need to look any further or deeper.
