    Out of interest, do you ever have anything positive to say about this team?

    I've learned to love the contrarians... 

    When this team starts doing well again, this guy will be posting under a different alt acting like the biggest homer around...

    I've seen a lot in this place since the Carolina Growl days of the early 00's... nothing is more predictable than to watch a negative/over-the-top homer poster completely drop off when the teams fortunes change...

    I could be wrong but at this point I just view it as an alt game...

    Man I bet he’s pissed goes from super bowl team to bottom of league team.

    No, he's excited to be on a team where he will get some playing time, b/c that is his ticket to get paid.

    For the most part, I think only veterans who have made some money have the luxury of thinking that way... most NFL players know (or learn quickly) that the NFL is a business more than anything, and getting a SB as a fringe roster player may be great, but his agent is reminding him that he may be pawning that same ring in 10-20 years if he can't make some money...

    I think that is much more of a thing in the NBA where basically everyone is making stupid money at this point b/c the rosters are so small.

    We seem to be running out of ammunition for my predicted LG / LB trades.

    I wonder if we're actively trying to trade some of the guys we're about to cut.

    I'd be on the phone to Detroit about their WR situation if I was Fitterer. David Moore looks mighty tempting right about now. 

    I'd be willing to part with David Moore for a LG especially... with TMJ emerging I don't know how many snaps and/or targets on offense he will actually see.

    I don't think the team views LB as big a need as we fans do.  

    RG is actually one of the positions with decent depth with Miller & Brown... LG is atrocious (I was really hoping Daley was going to win the job)

    Or cut, I mean a 4th year player should look good against backups in preseason.  Don't get me wrong, he showed flashes this preseson, but you also have to take that into account when evaluating him.

    I agree with a lot of your posts, but respectfully, you are in left field on this... 

    Haynes was solid last year (5.5 sacks which was 2nd on the team) and has had an excellent TC and preseason.  He is going to get substantial playing time this year.

    This move is bad news for Christian Miller/ maybe Phil Hoskins...

    Haynes will 100% make this roster

    Marquis Haynes going to IR I bet 

    I don't think so... I really think Rhule and company just wanted another more traditional 4-3 guy

    Burns, Haynes, & Reddick are size-wise more in the mold of a 3-4 OLB.  I know they can play DE in a 4-3 alignment, but they don't really have the size to move inside to pass rush on 3rd down.

    Will also be a core ST player- led the Bills in preseason tackles on ST, which is impressive for a big guy

  6. The only contrarian thing I'll say is this, why not just keep Efe Obada who could also pass rush from the interior??

    Kind of like the deal of trying to replace Alex Armah with Ricci...

    I have liked most of the moves Rhule/Fitterer have made, but those 2 stand out as question marks...

    In the end this particular trade isn't really going to be anything more than a wash for Perryman who evidently wasn't a fit here and was expendable with the emergence of Carter & Luvu

    Overall, there seems to have been a solid market for Darryl Johnson, and I'm loving having an aggressive GM.

    Phil Snow has to be a happy man.  He has been given a lot of pieces to work with.  I'm excited about the defense b/c I think Snow has a chance to really do something innovative with the versatility of this defense... I'm thinking/hoping for something that takes the league by storm like Dom Capers did in 1996 (for those of us old enough to remember) where you never knew where the pressure was coming from...

    Just dumb I’m sorry but we didn’t need another de. Hell he had to come from Temple because this is a damn head scratcher.

    I think he was brought here b/c he showed ability to pass rush on obvious passing downs from the inside, something it seems they were looking for.  Right now, the best guys are YGM and Morgan Fox.

    We have the big body guys like Brown, Jones, Roy, & Nixon and smaller, faster Edge guys like Burns, Haynes, Reddick, etc. that aren't big enough for interior pass rushing.

    At least that's what I think reading the tea leaves.

    Darryl Johnson is supposedly very good on ST also

  8. Darnold didn't look like a world beater but he did look like a capable starting QB.

    The last 3 throws he made were as good as I've seen a Panthers QB make in a long time.

    If the offensive line does their job, Darnold won't have to play hero ball. The weapons he has here are legit, and we can win if he can out the ball accurately and on time in their hands.

    Love the fact that he seemed to have chemistry with all 3 of Robby, DJ, and TMJ

    The pass rush will be ferocious until teams remember CMC is also on the field.  A couple well timed screens/draws will take that deep pass rush right out of them.  
     

    If all goes well, defenses will have to stay home just to keep McCaffrey from 200yds a game.

    Great point. CMC is our best weapon against our offensive line being overwhelmed by the pass rush.

    I hope Brady calls one early against the Jets to give them something to think about.

    For all their struggles Friday, perhaps the block blocking play may have been on that TMJ screen that went for paydirt

    I think our current staff just doesn't value the LB position as much as we think.

    We run alot of 5 defensive back formations with only 2 LBS on the field.

    One of thos backers will always be Reddick or Shaq. Then we have Carter in the middle. Also we have Chinn as a joker playing linebacker but lined up as a safety alot. 

    We just don't need as many LBS as we do defensive backs.

    Good point, especially the part about Chinn.  

    Probably good news for guys like Myles Hartfield and Kenny Robinson trying to grab the last few roster spots.

    I’d imagine if he’s not been brought in, the reasons are there.  I guarantee it’s not because they forgot he exists.

    True. Was just wondering if anyone knew what the reasons were. Only thing I read was maybe a money issue. 

    This defense looks like it has top 10 potential and I would hate to see it derailed bc of LB, especially bc historically that unit has generally been the most settled for the Panthers defense and this year its the biggest question mark.

  12. Had the Seahawks/Chargers preseason game on and didn't realize KJ Wright was still unsigned.

    With the Fitterer connection and our need for LBs, was curious what everyone thoughts were. 

    Is this a Russell Okung type situation where Wright is holding out for money than teams are offering or is there something more to it?

    Seems odd Wright is still unsigned bc to my knowledge he was solid last year even though he is getting older.

    Would think the Panthers should have interest unless there is something I don't know.

    It's never "conspiracy theory time".

    Thank you. People like conspiracy theories bc they are exciting and fit into our evolved brain's need to form a narrative from disparate events.

    The problem remains that human beings are awful at keeping their mouths shut... it's why actual conspiracies involving more than a few people almost anyways fall apart...

    It’s be one thing if Smith was speaking for himself but it’s almost seems like he’s relishing Slye’s yips. just feels wrong from an official Panthers announcer. Everyone can see it, no reason to rub it in. 

    I'm sure Smitty's commentary was not as soft as the Panthers would have liked it to be, but I don't think Smitty was trying to be just mean there.

    I think he's keeping it real about how physically and mentally abusive this violent sport that we all enjoy, can be
