fuging NC State, man. Even if Carolina can somehow miraculously won all of our remaining games and the ACC CG I just don't think we're going to have the SOS to go to the playoffs.

Bama is in a weird spot for them. They're very much accustomed to playing for championships. Having several games to go and knowing they're out of the hunt is unfamiliar territory for them. Interesting to see how they'll respond to it.

Ever heard of a player begging to play on turf vs. grass? We sure have seen a lot of the opposite.

As bad as our D was early on it has improved over the course of the season. Now don't get me wrong, we are NOT a good defensive team but we have improved from literally one of the worst P5 defenses I've ever seen to just a run of the mill below average D. Not where we want to be but damn, it's a huge improvement from the complete and utter ineptness we showed earlier this season.

I think both of the two most recent UNC/Wake games have broken 100 points.

I wish Wake hadn't tailed off hard in recent weeks. Would've been nice if they were still a borderline top 10 team going into tonight's game.

There's plenty of young QB talent in the league. We just don't have any of it. Fortunately for us, neither do any of our division rivals. Hell, for that matter almost all of it is in the AFC.

I sincerely hope he does, but sadly that's just not how this injury usually goes.

Well, that sucks. Gotta assume he's done. That's a brutal injury. If he can comeback it'll just be icing on the cake.

I have no issue with re-signing Foreman. Just don't give RBs big money cap crippling contracts. But if Foreman continues to play well and you can sign him to a 2-3 year deal for say $3-4M per year, why wouldn't you do that?

A high priority? No. But I'm of the opinion that mid to late round RBs should always be on the radar. Good talent at that position can be found deep in the draft and my goal would be to keep drafting them to avoid paying them. Let some other team give them that big $$$ second contract if they hit. Teams with cap sucking RBs rarely compete for SBs. I don't think that's a coincidence.

We're a losing franchise with a handful of good seasons. We're basically the Bucs over the same time period except they actually got two rings.

I want the most draft capital I can possibly get. The talent in the locker room is the talent in the locker room. Them winning 2 games or 5 games last year doesn't have a huge impact overall. They're still a down trodden team needing lifting up and better coaching that's what I was hired to do. Give me all the draft capital to work with to keep building a more talented overall roster.

We can only hope.

A new coach is going to bring his own atmosphere. Winning some meaningless games this year has zero impact on the future... other than draft position.

The teams that suck perennially suck because they can't build a good organization because the owner ultimately sucks. And THAT is my biggest fear for the Panthers. Because so far Tepper is looking like he sucks. Hard.

You can trade down. You can draft a non-QB. There's no benefit to drafting lower on the board for a non-playoff team. None. Zero.

This team is a lot closer to being ready to compete with a coaching staff and a QB than a lot of fans realize. It's hard to see it when we suck but this roster is a lot better off than most awful teams.

Figure out if we want Levis or Richardson. If no, trading down to acquire additional future draft capital should be option #1. If Fitts is still around he thought Corral was a 1st rounder. Play him. Draft Drake Maye or Caleb Williams in '24.

You don't walk into a winning organization as a new coach unless it's to take over from a retiring coach. That previous guy got fired for a reason. If you want to cheer for meaningless wins, feel free. But the reality is we're still going to be a loser and beating bad teams to push us down the draft board is only going to make it tougher for the next coach to build a winner. I want a winner. That's why I want to lose now.

Oh Jesus. The good news for him? At least he got paid. The bad news for us? Those cap hits are gonna suck.

Winning just enough games to not get top 5 draft picks is working out so well for us. That's the weird thing about pro sports. If you suck, you might as well suck BAD because you're literally at a competitive advantage in the future to suck worse if you're already bad.

at Pineiro acting like he just kicked the game winner in the SB

Well, fug. Thanks Falcons.

If DBs could catch tonight there could literally be double digit INTs in this game.
