Have you been in a coma since Tepper bought the team? Welcome back! LOL

Wide ass open guys in the end zone on back to back plays. Yikes.

Nice pass deflection to prevent the easy TD. Who was supposed to be covering that RB???

I did. I saw a subpar starting QB throwing a decent ball that could've been more out front away from the defender creating more room to a subpar starting TE well covered by an All-Pro who is elite at breaking up passes. That all adds up to a failed 3rd down conversion the vast majority of the time. Stop coping.

Subpar to subpar going against an All Pro. Them's the results nine times out of ten. It is what it is.

Welp... looks like we're gonna be talking next year's draft when we're still running the AC.

Stop. Dude was on him like a blanket. LOL Bryce threw a decent ball and a guy who should be a backup failed to make a pretty tough catch. It is what it is. Had the ball been a little more out in front it would've been better but we have a subpar starting QB throwing to a subpar starting TE and we got the expected result.

Texans blew that. That should've been a TD.

A 2nd year mid-round rookie TE failed to make a contested catch against one of the NFL's best DBs who ahad the 2nd in the NFL in broken up passes last season. Who would've think it. LOL

Agreed. Probably looking for a DPI but even then, you're putting all your eggs on the basket of the refs calling the penalty you think they're calling.

For all the talk about Bryce looking better that looked like the vintage Bryce most Panthers fans were ready to move on from.

Okay, Bryce clearly saw the DL tackle the OL and the flag flying before he threw that. Thank god, because yikes...

I didn't want UNC to hire Belichick simply because it's the exact same thing we just had to get rid of - an old, retired coach getting off the couch to hopefully act as a bridge to the next generation of UNC football. In the perfect world, Mack would've retired as Drake Maye was going into his final season giving UNC a great opportunity to go out and land a good coach. But the dinosaur wanted to hang on as dinosaurs tend to do. I had a lot of doubts about Belichick as a college coach but the recruiting so far is alleviating most of those. I just had a hard time wrapping my mind around how a guy was going to go from being in a position to tell All Pros that it's his way or the highway to kissing HS kids' asses. That seems like a hard switch to flip. But it seems like they've essentially built a recruiting structure where others are handling the bulk of the process and Bill just shows up wearing six SB rings and says "Are we gonna do this or not?" Basically still in the same "we'll see mindset" but it's going better than I expected so far. The big question to me though is still "what's next?" Is it Bill's kid? That's probably the Belichick plan. Is it UNC's plan? No clue. Gonna be a wild ride one way or the other. LOL

The question mark is health. We're already dealing with injury issues on the OL. Hopefully that doesn't linger.

It won't be shocking if we have to do that again this year at LB.

Winston or Mayfield would easily be the best QB Pittman has ever had. Winston can put up the numbers his issue is turnovers. Pittman has been playing with trash. I'm not saying the guy is elite. I'm just saying I'd like to see what he could do with a legit starting caliber QB.

I don't think anyone is freaking out about it. LOL

He sucks, but yeah he's gonna be QB2 this year.

There won't be a QB3 on the roster. We might have one on the PS.

I'd honestly take PJ at vet minimum over Dalton at $8M simply because I don't expect to win anything with either on the field.

He didn't look fine against the Browns.

Career means nothing. Who are you right now? That's all that matters. Lord knows the Panthers have plenty of history giving guys career achievement contracts.

I don't think it's a huge need either honestly. Backup QB really only matters for contenders. Which is exactly why I'd just like to clear up the cap space. I'd be fine with paying Dalton if he wasn't starting to look like straight trash but I mean... it is what it is. At this point I'd rather have the cap space.

And that list is going to include guys like Kirk Cousins who were paid to be starters, they're not backups by design the plan just didn't work out.
