Anyone else feel like Andy goes off this weekend? Yes, bears D and all of that. 320 22 for 31 3TDs 1 pick. I just want to beat the brakes off a team this year and keep their point total less than 10 so it accurately reflects the true bludgeoning that actually occurred.

Don’t show me this sh*t. It was the last panthers game I decided to torture myself with in the dome. It goes a little something like this: I can’t remember what the play was, but with not much time left, Atl iced it and I told my wife it’s time to go. She said it’s not over yet, to which I replied, babe, I’ve watched this team play a thousand times, I know how it goes in the dome, bla bla bla. As we’re almost to the ground floor, I hear the place get quiet as a church and then the sound of people panicking. Someone mentioned the panthers scored. We rushed to the gift shop to look at the tiny ass tv they had near the ceiling. I was, and still am so sick over missing that epic moment. Had we won, that would have been our version of the Mike Vick levitating play. I will never, ever, walk out on a panthers game early ever again.

This man has to be locked up for another 2-3 seasons to groom our current young talent and to groom his successor. People take for granted how fortunate this team right now to have a QB basically rescue this team from the brink of dark despair.

Johnson and Chuba would put a contract out on Bryce if he were to ever be made the starter again. They would lose millions

Too late to edit, but read my post and need to post a clarification. I meant to say “these are straight up DUDES.” The way I wrote it was quite ambiguous

If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such. You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well. Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men. Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this. Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS. He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait.

Bro is also putting millions in Johnson’s bank account. Can you imagine how he felt after game 2?

We now have someone who can walk the walk, and the entire team knows it.

It’s a tough call. I love the guy’s game and it’s really difficult to find a player who can do what he does…. But it’s almost like ptsd. We have a history of getting roasted with overpaying 1 year wonders and it ends up setting us back. On the flip side, we have the chance to have 3 really, really good receivers for the first time since…. 2003… Dude goes across the middle and is not shy of contact. His YAC is impressive. priority numero uno of the offseason is locking Andy up for at least 2-3 years. Critical for developing Mingo and XL. I really want Thielen back. Is there room for Johnson to stay with what he’ll demand? Either way, I’m really enjoying the ride and do trust Morgan. I’m being patient with his additions. Thus far, not a peep from Tep which is refreshing.

Panthers have been good for my fantasy team. I highly endorse this air mail, completely irresponsible behavior. I have Chuba and XL. Did nicely this Sunday. I benched T Hill for XL.

100% Andy has probably put an easy $8 million in dude’s bank account.

I think if the mentoring by Thielen and Andy goes like I hope and truly believe it will, X, by game 12 will have us saying Johnson who? My prediction is that by week 7, we will have traded Johnson for a solid linebacker and X will start really coming on. Additionally, Dalton is THE guy that Mingo needs. Dalton can put the ball anywhere. He’ll put it exactly where Mingo wants it to be. Confidence is essential, especially at WR. Mingo has seen a season of hospital balls and off target circus catches. It doesn’t take a genius to see how skills would atrophy and the demotivating funk sets in. You see how this 5’9” kid is about to kill a career you’ve worked your whole life towards? Naw, bruh. I really couldn’t imagine. You put in to that kind of work your whole life, get drafted and think your dream is coming true, then you meet your starting QB. There would be a full metal jacket, how’s that bar of soap feel, meeting. He may not blossom, but this is his one chance to show the NFL that he’s actually useful. I’m telling y’all, you can’t have better mentors for young receivers than Dalton and Thielen. Here’s the correct way to do this with surgical precision. Our home growns will finally develop. Johnson will blow it up this year and the allure is there, but for the first time since 2003, we have mentoring that is capable in helping a raw WR talent realize potential.

Y’all fall in love too quickly. I’d like to date a bit longer before buying a ring. No trade yet. Get him 2-3 more games, 300 more yards, 2+ more TDs and let the contenders in need get a bit more desperate. Big contracts to damaged goods 1 year rentals… fraught with peril. Defense needs help. No more big $ on offense, please.

You can lose but not feel like a loser. This is where we are now. ‘Winner’ and ‘loser’ is a mindset. We swapped 1 person before the cancer had a chance to metastasize.

Once X and Andy develop some more chemistry and he coaches him up… it’s going to be so beautiful. Andy is good for these dudes confidence. He doesn’t throw hospital balls and his passes are very consistent.

I would much rather give $$ to homegrown dudes. Character matters. To dish a big contract to someone who hasn’t even been on the team a year… that’s gonna be a no from me, dog.

Is he yet another guy who we would give big $$ to and then peace out? This is all a part of getting the right kind of people locked up long term. Robbie Anderson part. 2. He’s obviously talented so why did the Steelers let him go? If we can get at least a first, I’d seriously consider. I don’t like giving someone that’s iffy big $$$. Robbie. Anderson.

And we have a winner!!! But for real, it just 1.

Please don’t panthers this one up. No stopgap washed up has been. Just roll with what we’ve got. Keep our draft capital.

X needs to do whatever Chuba did to improve his pass catching. Dude REALLY put in work and it’ll prob bank him at least a couple more million come contract time.

Healthy Thielen and we win by 10. We keep their o off the field for 5 fewer minutes and we don’t have nearly as many 3rd and longs. You could tell in Andy’s reads that he didn’t like what he saw. It ran clunky. Old panthers ish. Everything looked harder. Plus side is X now has the pressure of his first start behind him. Now it’s time to grow. More I think of it, the more I like the idea of growing young talent under a Jedi master, building it up and then letting handing over to the hopefully future QB. We don’t need the blind leading the blind. So also this, do people have any idea how freaking fortunate this team is to have both Thielen and Dalton? Knowledge. You couldn’t get more fundamentally sound dudes. That’s who I want mentoring our young guys.

The most important position group on the team got real help for the first time since, ever. Dan is building it right with the right people.

The last LB from a better era of Panthers football. Speedy recovery Shaq.

I could see that as well, especially if we can’t stay healthy at LB. But like I said, a top 5 I’m not sure really benefits us. I’d really rather go stud DE in the first round. Let him develop with Andy at QB where there is a chance of the other team playing from behind. Andy plays a key roll in developing talent on D with his ability to keep the offense rolling. It’s tough to learn anything when the other team is up 3 scores and they spend the entire second half running it down your throat.

I’m glad we never gave him that third game. How bad is it when we underestimate just how damn bad Bryce could play. We all expected to see at least something. I think we’ll pick at 8.
