100%. Trying to get cute is the last thing we should want this FO doing right now because they are trash at it.

Yeah when the Chicago Bears are a more well run organization there isn't anything left to say. And this after the recent things I've read about the Bears from former players only adds salt to the wound. Still. I hope those fugers flounder. Yeah I'm petty

Milquetoast David Tepper who couldn't handle a mildly outspoken Cam Newton without unceremoniously jettisoning him to the shadow realm would never sign off on Shedeur Sanders. He mortgaged the future of the team to draft the QB who was as far away from being like Cam he could find. Might as well wake up from your dream and stop simping bud.

Unstable mental state and a firearm. Not a good combination. Unfortunately this is a very distinctly American storyline.

Safety over DL with a top ten pick and a huge need for defensive linemen lines up with how David Tepper's Panthers have tried to build rosters.

Two lives lost for no reason. Something has to give with the state of American drivers on our roads sooner or later. Too many idiots who don't need one are getting a license and driving like aggressive asshats and half of them are in overpowered muscle cars they also don't need.

I definitely understand that. It's an unfortunate result of fatigue from going on now 8 years of losing seasons consecutively. Hopefully we're on the verge of something better.

I was too. I bought his talk of being a leader heading into 2023 and was excited as well. Ultimately that and the hype never amounted to a hill of beans. We got bamboozled. That man is sitting on what should be generational wealth now. He's doing just fine I assure you. Let's just hope Dan Morgan and Brandt Tilis are better equipped to identify talented defensive linemen who are also motivated to win.

Idk man for a long time there were people who gave Burns the benefit of the doubt. I think really it's about learning and adapting going forward. We already can't draft worth a damn. If we're targeting pass rushers we need to reconsider past approaches and try something different so we don't keep ending up in the same conundrum.

Not sure Panthers fans are the right folks to be drawing a line in the sand over using obscure stats out of thin air to prop up a QB. I seem to remember a lot of that last year.

His biggest issue was buying into his own hype. It didn't help he had his brother in his ear at every turn building him up even when he was disappearing out there on the field and stinking up the joint. But they got what they wanted. The big payday. That was more important to Brian that cementing his place as an elite pass rusher amongst his peers. But listen let's get down to it here. Regardless of how one feels about Mykel Williams or any other DL prospect maybe we should consider an alternative measuring tool going forward for our historically bad defense that isn’t defined by just being marginally better than Brian Burns. I'm just saying.

Burns had a big ego on top of it all. Legend in his own mind. I'm certainly very intrigued by Mykel as a prospect it's the notion that we are rolling the dice on a top 10 pick with only the hope that he can become a force as a pass rusher. That being said I'm certainly more upbeat about the possibility of Mykel Williams honing his craft than I am someone like Shemar Stewart. But who knows with our Panthers. We continually seem to make the wrong decision.

Shades of Brian Burns.

Possibly. He's comparable to Pinero in overall accuracy but I don't think we can understate just how useless Eddie has been in long situations we basically all but waved a white flag if it was more than a 45 yard attempt and even that was iffy. Whereas the kicker in question here at least has a proven history of making those 50+ yard kicks. I'm not trying to argue we should limit ourselves certainly we should consider multiple options. But long range has been an issue for us for some time now.

Every time I look at this division I just laugh and cannot understand why we continue to stumble around and end up in last place. Even with our needs there's no reason we can't compete for this division in the sorry state it's in.

Depends on who is available. DL should be the pick. But a case can certainly be made for offense depending on how the first seven picks fall.

No reason not to kick the tires.

The spat with the restaurant owner while ultimately harmless was as good of a glimpse into David Tepper's thought process and overall approach to owning a sports franchise as anyone needed. I've got a lovely bridge to sell anyone that would believe that thin skinned middle aged adult man would sit back and let someone else make any and all decisions for a team he paid billions for.

I've been very critical of the Tepper's. But. If they are actually learning and evolving then great. I will give them credit for it. My issue is though I'm just not seeing any wholesale changes. Same draft scouting staff. Hired the worst GM in franchise history's righthand man. Our first round pick last year Xavier Legette was handpicked and publicly endorsed by Bryce Young's father. Our 2nd round pick was an absolute vintage classic Panthers pick. From there largely meh. Then we have the situation of Evero sticking around again after being forced on our first year head coach last year. To me the Tepper's are still behind the scenes pulling strings until proven otherwise.

In the weeks before the draft the consensus swung back and forth and then finally hard to Bryce Young once the "sources say" character assassination of CJ Stroud and the publicizing of his alleged S2 scores (lol) began. As far as the huddle there were people here in the months before the draft wanting Stroud and some wanting Young. Idk why we have to continually reestablish this.

The Tepper's are meddlers. We all know it.

Greg Olsen all day fug Tom Brady.

Obviously that would be a nice compensation package but if it sounds too good to be true it is.
