Not gonna lie, I was a little concerned about how emotional Hubert was after our win over UCLA to make the Final Four. Kinda seemed like we were just happy to be there. That concern was obviously completely unfounded.

Good night, dark prince. Sleep tight.

I've obviously seen some clutch players come through Chapel Hill, but Caleb Love these last two games... holy. fuging. poo.

Ruined his final home game curtain call. Whipped his ass out of the Final Four. Suck on that, K. RETIRED YOUR FUGING ASS!!!

They're just going to keep holding these guys' hands and walking them to the FT line.

8-2 foul count. Just saying.

Basically

He's just a designated fouler and instigator. That's his role

Oh look, here comes K walking out completely by himself. Gotta make sure every camera is on him. It's always all about him.

This is the level of musical performance I expect to see at small town karaoke.

At least one of these "stud LTs" is gonna bust hard. Probably the one Matt Rhule wants.

Hey, duke...

If only it was so easy to pick and choose when you have the luxury of adding your QB.

He's a great player but he's pretty significantly undersized. And he's a center. There are plenty of drafts that zero centers go on the 1st. Hell, it might honestly be the norm.

Exactly why I didn't like him as a prospect. None of what he did at OU translated to the NFL. I was concerned he was another Darnold.

I didn't like him because of how OU used him. But I sure wish we had the chance to draft him. That's basically what I mean though. Love 'em or hate 'em as prospects we'll all be a lot better off if we land a legit QB.

He never had a shot. He went one pick ahead of us. Shout-out to all the folks who were excited about the great culture that was being brought in with that meaningless late season win against Rivera's Washington team.

Imagine all these takes in retrospect if we take a LT that busts and leave a guy on the board who becomes a franchise QB.

I do. He can't be. He's not going to magically learn how to read a defense in his fifth NFL season. Darnold's success is entirely reliant on his first read being open. When it is, he looks damn good. He can throw a beautiful ball. Disaster strikes when his first read is covered AND he has time to go through his progression instead of being forced to go to his check down due to pressure - you know. Unfortunately, in a functioning offense that's most of your snaps.

That's basically where we are with Tepper's Panthers. Already looking at the season after this one because it looks hopeless.

Parker basically had one season (2019 - 1202 yards and 9 TDs) out of 7 where he was the NFL WR I thought he was going to be coming out of college.

At least the JR era had sporadic success. Some may not realize it, but the the Tepper era in terms of the W-L percentage is statistically the worst stretch of football in Panthers' history. Worse than Seifert.

If you want a LT, fine. But don't let it delude you into thinking a shiny new LT might make Darnold salvageable. Were you watching him? Most of his worst decisions come when he actually has the time to survey the field.
