I liked Golden as a prospect too. But I think you are selling TMac short on what he brings to the field. The kid is going to be a problem for defenses. I think both of them will have good careers. Ultimately if Bryce can't succeed with a talent like TMac then I just don't think it's going to happen. At that point you shoot your shot again on QB in the next draft.

Put it this way. If our ability to compete hinges on 35 year old Thielen's availability after drafting WR in the first two years in a row then someone needs to be fired.

Self driving cars are nowhere near being feasible for mass use yet and might not be in our lifetime. But not all public transportation is created equal by any means. And public transportation in many parts of america versus overseas are not at all comparable. In NYC you could either get randomly set on fire or pushed in front of a moving train just trying to use public transit. I'm good.

Now you're talking!

True. But at this point the collective offensive group outside of Chuba has to prove the second half of last season is the norm going forward and not a flash in the pan.

"Do as I say not as I do."

It's interesting that you continue to die on this hill of negativity completely ruining your fandom yet you were one of the first people to poo all over the Kon Knueppel pick. Not very consistent of you Mr. Anti Negativity.

I agree entirely about Mays. He's a gem no doubt.

I mean in terms of that being his floor as opposed to his ceiling. We can argue about what this QB or that QB would have done and rehash the same talking points. But at the end of the day the second overall pick from that draft has two playoff wins under his belt already. Fair or not the onus is on our #1 pick to show up and put the division and the league on notice. That's what he was drafted for.

Christensen is a solid guy to have due to his versatility. But we may find ourselves needing him elsewhere early. Because if I recall correctly Zavala has been banged up a bit already. At this point we're just waiting for the when not if moment that Corbett gets injured. But anyways we can go on for hours about injuries and depth. Hey we're Panthers fans we know something is going to happen. I would like to reach a point where our staff and FO have us in a place where just a few injuries don't cause us to stumble down to poverty level again. Because at the end of the day every team deals with injuries. And we can't keep using that excuse. Sooner or later we have to overcome some adversity.

The guy who started this place has directly told you and anyone else that's been paying attention exactly what the current ownership is and why the ensuing results are what they are. You are mad and looking to place blame for what you perceive to be only negativity at other fans for perceivedly bursting your bubble. That's fine and understandable. But this is not a franchise with sustained success to justify that. If and when we emerge from the gutter then things will change for the better and the staff and front office will begin to receive the benefit of the doubt on things more often than not. But that will not happen before. That's not on you me or any other fan. But that is the current reality for the franchise. No amount of complaints from anyone here one way or another will change that.

Right I think we are mostly on the same page. But we got obliterated in the first game of the season by a bad Saints team who is now the laughingstock of the division. QB play was a direct part of that as much as the defense unfortunately. We're all hoping the second half of the season Bryce is the real Bryce. That's what it boils down to on the field.

Most of the people saying that are in just in their feelings. Obviously this format is dated af but if anything kills the huddle it will be the Tepper's.

Well if I'm being honest in the back of my mind I have concerns. Moton is banged up and center is one injury away from a major issue. That's where Morgan needs to come in and exhaust all attempts to shore up depth at certain positions after cuts.

The defense being terrible and the opposing defense not fearing our passing attack went hand in hand in that respect unfortunately. Until we can establish a stout passing game it will be the same recipe from opposing defenses again this year.

Of course that will be huge. But more than anything else and beyond QB we need Dave Canales to be the guy. We can't keep cycling head coaches.

I think thou doth protest too much. I've seen plenty of posts from you where you are anything but anti Tepper. I can't even take out my Panthers wallet without someone asking me why on earth I'm a Panthers fan If you or anyone else want to live sunshine and rainbows shooting from your buttocks 24/7 and be an unpaid mouthpiece for the Tepper's that is absolutely your right to do so. Doesn't mean it's the only way or the right way to be a fan.

Oh we know what we'll find. Many people from fans and those in the media agreed that it was a solid situation for a rookie QB to be going into at the least. Certainly it was regarded to be more desirable than the situation CJ Stroud was supposedly being drafted into. The revisionist history on that now is the same as it is for all the talk before the draft that Bryce Young was the most pro ready QB in years and would work his magic on the NFL field even if he didn’t have the best talent around him because he was that good and indisputably the best QB in the class.

Normally he's been pretty solidly logical on most things. I guess everybody has their moments though. We're all human. For myself I'm glad to have Coker. I think he's got a bright future ahead of him. But. I'm also a Panthers fan. And I've seen the likes of Ian Thomas and Terrace Marshall Jr shine in camp so I'm also going to withhold celebrating just yet. First two games of the season are on the road. That will tell us unequivocally where we're at.

It's bonkers to even read it in print right? But that's David Tepper's Panthers!

Carrying water for David Tepper and the terrible moves he's been a large part of pushing for in the past isn't moving the needle either. Certainly kissing ass hasn't made a difference as we've only gone from bad to worse. In actuality this board could really use some actual opposing fans and viewpoints from them to show you how insulated some of you have become. Literally some of you are Jake Gyllenhaal from that movie Bubble Boy.

It's always been like this. There are tweets and a link to cbssports in the TC camp thread for today that further elaborate on what happened with Jaycee Horn. Anyways regardless of whether or not the huddle is dying I don't see how this is any different or worse than sifting through Twitter or any other similar format social media site because either way wherever you go there are going to be people bloviating and arguing left and right. That's the internet these days for better or worse.

There is a legitimate chance he has a big season under their new coach. I would be hesitant to make any firm declarations either way at this point. There are so many variables that go into a possible scenario where we don't trade Moore. But to be clear. By definition we are not better after surrendering a haul of resources in that trade. We just fielded the worst defense in decades. And we had the 32nd passing offense in 2023 and the 30th passing offense last year. We made a flurry of moves we hope will stem the tide for the time being and we have many young players with promise. But our season and the trajectory of our franchse still very much hinges on Bryce Young taking multiple steps forward this season.

Yup. Born and raised in Charlotte. Now that I'm older Kannapolis is the better living option. And even then Charlotte drivers are slowly making their way here unfortunately. With that crime and insane overdevelopment Charlotte has just become a nightmare.

He was 6th in receiving yards in the entire league the year we traded him. I don't know why you guys are making me defend this dude lol I still have PTSD from him and the Bears absolutely dragging our defense up and down the field last season. I mean it should be a forgone conclusion that the guy can play regardless of how we feel about him and want to justify the trade.
