At the time Sam and Robbie combined were sitting on 40 million dollars in guaranteed money. I think plenty of people here in these financial times would welcome boos for that much money.

Cliche he says after caping for two of the worst quarterbacks in the league the last two years.

Luke is the definitive nice guy. But the difference is he loved football and he flipped a switch on gamedays. He was a dog off a leash on the football field. Mills was a stout competitor out there as well despite his off field personality. Sam Darnold has the physical talent he just doesn't seem like he loves football. That's okay. But that is not going to make this football team one worth watching. I hope he finds happiness in whatever path he chooses next. He will have a very good chunk of change to rest up on and invest how he chooses. I'm hoping Baker can be the guy for us but I'm not falling head over heels for anyone until I see sustained success. He has the potential to be what we need though. It all depends on what he has learned through the mess with the Browns and applies that in the future here.

Nice guy no doubt. Looks like he's already been hitting a couple buffets here and there. I don't blame him. Just feels awkward how eager some people are to be complimentary for him taking 19 million dollars and keeping his head down. We had folks losing their minds over a QB wearing a scarf and though he had ups and downs until the arm fell off he was still a top 15 QB any given Sunday. I don't think the Wine and Cheesers are going to be very fond of Baker he has that cocky mentality in him. But that's what we need. We don't need a team of nice guys. That's why we've been trading places with the Falcons for last place in our division the last few seasons.

Baker Mayfield is a former first overall pick he's still young and he just went for a fifth. I have to think if there were teams looking we would have already heard rumblings about possible trades for Robbie. Other teams see him on social media the same as us fans. If he has a productive season again there could be a move provided Marshall Jr makes strides. But it's going to take a Baker Mayfield resurgence to restore Anderson’s value in the league. Well that and deleting his Twitter app.

We get it you made it your mission to defend Teddy Bridgewater then Sam Darnold too. That's your choice. But it was very painfully obvious leadership was lacking big time when Sam was the starter. He simply could not lead when things got remotely challenging. Can Baker? We'll see. But so far just stuff like this is night and day. Sam is a nice friendly guy but he simply does not have the disposition necessary to be a hard nosed franchise QB in a league full of elite talent.

It's related information during a slow time period before training camp officially starts. There are worse threads going right now.

You just described most of current social media including yourself. Trolling is one thing but he talks to himself on Twitter I don't think it's just an act. He probably needs some real help.

Well even if you get your wish the East side would just look like other parts of Charlotte that are over developed with new expensive housing and condos that are priced out for many of the people who already live in the area. Charlotte isnt the city it used to be and simple greed is the reason.

I very much enjoyed Eastland in the 90's. Great memories there. If you want a discussion about the city and how the surrounding area has been neglected over the years I'll listen and we likely won't disagree one iota about who is to blame for that. But this thread is about the Carolina Panthers owner and so far as a local business man failure is all he is known for. Jerry Richardon was raked over the coals frequently over the years for different reasons and usually rightfully so. If criticism of billionaires bothers some people so much they should take it to Twitter with the rest of the folks who worship the ultra wealthy daily.

Bayless is a buffoon who shouldn't be paid a nickel for the idiocy he spouts on a daily basis. They need to retire that dinosaur.

You'll never make sense of it. These are the same kind of people who fan girl over guys like Elon Musk.

He isn't going back until August 20th so we get another whole month of embarrassing silence from our local professional basketball team

Took less than 5 minutes for Tepper's personal shoe shine crew to waltz in here and make excuses. Always good for a laugh.

With their continued "no comment" responses it certainly looks that way. I hope the Panthers can get their act together this fall because the pro basketball team isn't one worth watching if beating the hell out of your wife and kid isn't an issue worth taking an official stance on from the get go.

Just awful. The silence from the team is a bad look no matter how you might want to look at this with teal or purple shades. They should have already cut ties officially.

He's already weighed in as expected.

Glad Shaq spoke out against this. That's the kind of leadership we need. Waiting for the inevitable thread where we rehash the grass vs turf arguments for another 20 pages.

Catsfan69 is really triggered about these black helmets.

Not worried about Baker's arm or his football IQ. Prepared to see him have some turnovers. But where he is night and day from last years QB is he isn't a milquetoast bore. He will at least bring some fire to the offense.

It's been rough as a Panthers fan but this is awesome and we have waited many moons for black helmets. Glad they used common sense and made the fans happy.
