  1. Buzbee shares some striking similarities with Lin Wood. Both appear to be immoral ambulance chasers at best and neither should honestly be members of the bar association.
  2. Uhh if you want my advice try a few deep woosahs and a nice long walk sir.
  3. No one said commendable. Lumping it in with a discussion about harrassment and assault however is an odd leap. It is curious that you have made so many posts defending Watson but in your moral compass you apparently draw the line at being a father to children by different women. Seems inconsistent.
  4. Since when is being a father a negative? That's quite the leap in logic. Can see the kind of circles you run in with remarks like this.
  5. If no quarterback I would be fine with trading down but more picks don't always guarantee anything looking at the Seahawks drafts. Staying at 8 based on who we believe will be available Fields/Lance 1a/1b followed by Pitts/Chase and the top OT available. I may find myself in the minority but taking a tackle top 10 is my least favorite scenario in this draft. Multiple reasons for that but this could be the last top 10 pick we see for a bit if we are content at just being mediocre enough to stay middle of the pack and I would rather add more passing weapons to the offense if we can't get a fresh signal caller.
  6. I will concede on younger generations overlooking it but don't mistake the NBA as a for profit business entity using the tragic circumstances of his passing as a money making opportunity as his reputation being permanently restored in the minds of most. Before the crash he was still very much a flawed figure and whispers of that trial still hung over him in many circles. In the social media age where everyone now has a voice his name is still attached to it. For every discussion where you see him mentioned you will eventually see that follow. The intent here certainly isn't to try and keep score or allude one instance is more serious or deserving of relevance than the next but in America some factors that shouldn't will always play a role in who is "forgiven" for transgressions and who isn't.
  7. Kobe couldn't escape and still can't escape his trial and even in death it is still very prevalent. So why is it in all these morality takes the discussion of Ben Roethlisberger is usually met with a shoulder shrug and a "yeah but..."? That privilege is real.
  8. Ultimately it is only symbolic but the last thing the team should be doing is bringing in negative publicity when it is already in a downward trajectory. Until the Panthers have restored some semblance of actual legitimacy again certain jerseys should remain off limits. Build it back right and focus on not being a joke in our own division for awhile for starters.
  9. I get that but I just don't buy that a man who has a giant set of balls on his desk and paid a new head coach 100 million dollars handed the keys and full authority of the trajectory of the franchise to Marty Hurney while completely removing himself and said new head coach from the process. It was undoubtedly a collaborative effort if anything in bringing Teddy to Carolina.
  10. By all accounts at the time the other teams sniffing around looking to sign him were blown out of the water when we swooped in with our offer. We then proceeded to get Teddy out front and center in all of our media activities to show off our new face. Yes maybe we didn't "love" him but we damn sure were hard up to acquire him.
  11. Let us just call it for what it is. We got played like a fiddle by Sean Payton into believing Teddy could be more. The worst thing we can do is double down. Get back to what made this team a hard nosed competitor in our division and not a one win wonder just happy to be here.
  12. We drafted Jimmy Clausen. People can say what they want about the man but he knew how to get the job done.
  13. I used to enjoy your posts but your inability to reconcile with the fact you were wrong about Bridgewater after months of going to bat has sent you over the edge and now you are bitter in every thread. Find a way to rappel yourself back up to reality soon.
  14. The next year mantra has been done before to no avail. This is groundhog day for Panthers fans now. At least in 2010 we knew how to secure the bag once the obvious became known unlike 2019 and 2020. As it is we still won't know if we'll finally get the dreaded no back to back winning seasons monkey off our back until at least 2023. But yeah keep hoping for that fabled next year boys.
  15. This take is so awful I'm siding with a Saints player. Please change and evolve.
  16. Why the hostility for the guy? If it isn't okay for Teddy who is on the books for 60 million why is it okay for Grier who is making small time rookie money by comparison and already on the outside looking in? Doesn't seem consistent.
  17. This is revisionist history. The defense was unreliable at times but in the second half of the season in particular I watched them get the ball back for the offense many times only for Bridgewater to squander it. Some of it was playcalling but many of the wasted drives fall squarely on the qb.
  18. In the top 10? Agree to disagree on that. I would rather add another offensive target or solidify our corner depth.
  19. I get that sense from you and other posters but that one in particular must be a relative or in teddy's circle or something. I am not thrilled with the possibility of another season of Teddy starting but I'm not saying he's the worst quarterback we've ever had either. That being said I also not wwilling to deal in self deception. If someone isn't clutch and not franchise starter quality you just have to accept it. Sitting around making excuses is just more of the same. They didn't fly for the last two long term starters we had and they won't now. It is a perfomance based business and about money at the end of the day.
  20. Yeah ok. There's a reason even Jets fans have been clowing on us. Keep those homer shades on fellas.
  21. Bridgewater isn't going to change as a player. What you see is what you get. He is Kyle Allen with a little more mobility. He doesn't lack heart and he doesn't play scared because he obviously isn't a pussy as those scrambles he made showed. But he does lack the decision making and fight necessary to get over the finish line on his own. He is also dreadful in the redzone. How many promising drives did we waste that we were gifted by our defense? The guy just isn't clutch and you either have it or you don't. I want a team leader who despises losing. Someone who won't go ham it up on the sideline with our arch rival as they go in dry on our defense in their house.
  22. The bust rate for tackles high in the first round has not been kind to teams the last decade or so no matter how promising the prospect looks on tape. If we are throwing in the towel I would rather just take Pitts.
  23. That first super bowl with Jake was nearly two decades ago. You can't achieve future success being scared and living in the past. The league has changed and quarterbacks are in much more demand now and you have to be willing to make calculated risks. Atlanta was one half of football away from making us the laughing stock of the nfc south as the lone team with a bare trophy cupboard. As it currently stands we have tumbled even further down into the cellar in the time since. The clock is ticking.
  24. You have to be a special kind of gullible to believe it was all former radio host turned gm Hurney who was already halfway out the door yet entirely on his own went out and signed a backup quarterback to a 60 million dollar contract. It is crap to blame the fans for having the nerve of expecting more and not wanting to see the franchise waste the prime of our young core on manageable contracts because we picked the wrong quarterback. The onus is on the coaching staff the owner and unfortunately for him Fitterer the new gm to figure it out and right the ship. We were fed a line of back and forth double talk about our former qb and the process itself moving forward in the early stages of the 2020 offseason that this was going to be a rebuild then it wasn't and we blew up our cap space on two luxury positions and Teddy Bridgewater. Figure out the plan set it in motion and fix this.
