Mage

What kind of contract are we talking? I'd be okay with extending him for back-up QB money. If we're talking top 10 QB money (because that is where every QB extension starts)? I'm not sure there is any level of performance that he is realistically capable of achieving over the course of a regular season that would convince me he's worth it. I hope I'm wrong though.

vs Chicago - L @ Falcons - L @ Browns - W vs Lions - L @ Eagles - L vs Buccaneers - W @ Packers - L vs Broncos - W @ Saints - W vs Ravens - W @ Buccaneers - L @ Vikings - W vs Saints - W vs Bengals - W @ Steelers - W vs Seahawks - W vs Falcons - W 11-6 Early bye week sucks, but 4 of the last 5 being at home is huge.

DJ Chark was a good WR. The ankle injuries are what did him in.

I don't "hate" him but he is a terrible journalist. And you have to keep in mind that a lot of us can remember how Darin Gantt covered the team. Say what you want about Gantt as a person, but he was a damn good journalist. It never felt like Newton even tried to improve. And man he used to ask the dumbest questions.

Just posted on his Facebook https://www.facebook.com/david.newton.948/posts/pfbid03zkpp611fJdrhJ4EpoDgsCSxmvWujdAaZLe2FM4MjudsZNBqcQCZCpxVCRsto6Vel Truly some of the best Panthers-related news I have heard in the last 10 years.

I've been on here since 2010. Damn.

Scott Fitterer was so bad, man.

Credit to you. You were right. I'm pretty shocked he's getting off.

I've hardly kept up with the draft this year, so unless it is a WR, I'll probably be happy with whomever we take.

I'm really not buying it. And don't think it is worth getting worked up about something so unknown. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly admit it. But I really think this has been a big smokescreen. Panthers aren't taking a WR in R1.

I don't think KC is going 1st round. If we were to get him, it would be in the 2nd round IMO.

Harold Fannin is a stud. No shame in getting passed by him on the depth chart, plus Njoku was banged up.

FWIW, the Panthers have done a solid job at developing OL the two years Canales has been here. We saw it last year with Yosh filling in and looking decent. BC, Mayes, and Ikem have all also improved in the two years Canales has been here.

This is why making the playoffs was important. Whether we "deserved" it or not - perception matters, and it likely gave us somewhat of an edge in negotiations.

Hard to say. People keep talking about how Tepper has a trigger finger, but it isn't a Tepper thing. Look at how many HCs currently have lasted 3+ years. It ain't a whole lot. It is very difficult to make it to a 4th year with 3 straight losing records. If that were to happen again, I could see him being let go. But I don't think he's necessarily on the "hot seat", as in I don't see any way he's fired midseason, and those are the types of HCs I would consider on the hot seat.
