You know how I know the bowls are dead? I've never even heard of the majority of the sponsors and I don't even care to look into who they are. I just chuckle that they pissed their money away to slap their name onto a toilet bowl. This poo has to be abysmal ROI driven by boomer executives who still think it's a big time power play to be a bowl sponsor.

The best case scenario is that Fitts is the architect of this disaster and that Tepper has been snowed by him this whole time. That seems like a huge reach but we can still hope.

We've all been harping about this all year and even longer. We're the worst franchise in the league currently in large part because we've made horrible personnel moves, both in terms of the roster and the coaching ranks. We have some good players and we probably have some good coaches but we don't have enough to overcome the rest of the poo show.

Bieniemy has been a disaster. The Dolphins were straight up mocking his poo offensive scheme and flat out said that Howell getting outside the pocket and making something happen was the only thing that concerned them.

Does this guy make any videos that you don't post?

All I saw of that one was 13 fumbles. Like holy poo.

Honestly, that's better than the "good" bowls. The "good" non-playoff bowls get gutted with draft bound sit outs. I'd honestly rather watch lesser teams playing full strength.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Honestly, given the sparse attendance they should've made a PA announcement to invite everyone to move down as a thank you for actually showing up. It would've been an awesome PR move for an organization that seems to go out of their way to piss fans off.

They've lost three straight now. Just lost to a team that had lost four straight and playing a backup QB.

Gorgeous deep dime from Drew Lock for the likely game winner with under 30 seconds on the clock. New randos keep taking the field for other NFL teams and looking better than our #1 overall pick.

Which is generally accurate of the QBs it's applied to. You don't necessarily have to have a dynamic game breaking QB if you have a brilliant offensive system with elite surrounding talent. The issue you run into is when you start having to pay everybody and making tough salary cap decisions.

I think you should always be looking at RBs in the mid to late rounds because you shouldn't be looking to pay RBs on a second contract.

What we need to do is stop treating RB like a premium position. Chuba is doing a solid job and we got him for a mid-round pick. This is how the majority of the league has been treating the RB position for the last 20 years now. Panthers fans just haven't noticed because we keep acting like this is the 1980s and spending premium picks and salary cap on a luxury position

He's plenty good enough. You don't need a true RB1 in today's NFL. You haven't for decades now but that hasn't stopped the Panthers from investing heavily in positions of yesteryear, namely RBs and off the ball LBs. Outside of a handful of truly elite players those are "fill the gap" positions with draft picks and/or low to mid-level FAs. We've sorely lacked at more crucial positions because we invest heavily in the wrong positions.

My Eagles fan buddy told me he had poo for vision and that I'd get tired of seeing him run into the backs of OL when there's a gaping hole right there for a potential big gainer. We don't have the Eagles' OL and ability to keep defenses honest with a legitimate passing attack so there aren't those same gaping holes and that makes his vision issues even more readily apparent.

Why has Matt Rhule's wife made our best draft pick in recent years? Matt Rhule's wife for GM!

There are guys in training camps all across the league who work their asses off and have all the drive in the world but it just doesn't matter because they lack the physical talent. That's what Bryce looks like. A small school local UDFA signed for a feel good story.

No.

If anyone is arguing we're a top 5 defense or even top 10, then yeah it's overrated. But I don't think many are arguing that. I think most have us somewhere in the middle of the pack which feels about right. Our yards are skewed to our benefit likely because teams are fairly conservative against us knowing we aren't gonna score much. Our points allowed are skewed against us likely because our anemic offense means we're consistently losing the field position battle.

Chuba is a solid RB. Nothing special but he's not a problem. Definitely the most improved player on the roster this year. By far.

He looked physically fine. His accuracy is just really spotty and his decision making and ball security aren't improving like you normally see with young QBs. He just doesn't seem to be developing. When you've started as many games as he has you shouldn't be making the types of mistakes he's consistently making.

No.

I meant that I wouldn't be surprised if one or both opted out of the interim role.

He definitely runs hot and cold. What's concerning this year is that the hot hasn't been all that hot. He honestly hasn't had a great game all year long.
