A lot of these guys probably played QB at some point along the way. I mean, let's be real, if you have a future NFL talent on your little league or middle school team, you want to get maximum impact out of him. That's QB. A lot of them even play QB in HS for the same reason. If you don't have a good QB, then put your best athlete at QB. That's kind of a mantra for football below the collegiate level.

Yeah, he definitely thinks he's a super cool Miami guy now. Watching him transform from football super nerd to Rico Suave has been pretty entertaining. It's like watching Zuckerberg and Musk and Bezos think they're cool now. Like STFU nerds, you just got money now you're never gonna be cool so just stop. LOL

I don't really see an issue with McDaniels. The issue with that team is that their QB has a glass jaw and they don't have a viable backup. He's 25-16 with Tua. He's 3-7 without him. They won 11 games the one season Tua stayed healthy. They just can't afford to have backups like Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson with a starter who is likely to miss some games. You need a top tier backup.

Good. Honestly not a big fan of retaining Evero but at minimum there had to be significant changed under him.

Honestly, it's a pretty easy decision. You extend him. Bryce played much better down the stretch and Chuba looked like a top tier RB and a big part of both was the revamped OL. Don't go fuging it up.

I was about to say it's gotta be Kobe, right? Trading an all-time great for a run of the mill starting center is brutal.

100% disagreed. It was very obvious he wasn't the problem and got scapegoated. That entire staff was way too light on NFL experience. It was clear that Brady was an inexperienced play caller but it was also clear that his offensive system was going to translate to the NFL. I hope the Saints don't hire him because I like him. And honestly I think it might be too much too soon for him. He's still pretty light on NFL experience.

Hell, I don't even have network television. LOL I stream sports and that's my only exposure to network television

Cam is my favorite all time Panther and I wish him nothing but the best in all of his media ventures but reality TV and sports talk /podcasts just ain't it for me.

I'm for extending him because Lord knows Panthers fans should well know that quality OTs don't grow on trees but anytime a guy is over 30 it's not too early to start thinking longer term. Plus l, the way his contract is structured were practically forced to extend him. He has a $31M cap hit next year due to previous restructures kicking the can.

Hopefully

This. I didn't want him in the draft but he honestly showed quite a bit more promise thank I expected. I wanted McConkey and still think he should've been the pick but Legette has a chance to develop into something. We'll see what happens.

Pretty much this. Yeah, I would enjoy getting a better look at the process as a Panthers fan but my #1 goal as a Panthers fan is to see my team win. I don't think the circus of Hard Knocks at all contributes to that #1 goal. In fact I think it works against it and that's why teams seek to avoid it. I'm honestly surprised the NFL hasn't gotten rid of it with all teams universally hating it but then again the same thing is true for Thursday Night Football, so yeah... all about the Benjamins.

Keep in mind, Mays is only 26 and just wrapped up his third NFL season. Not like we're talking about some aging vet on his last legs.

I think he's played plenty well enough sandwiched between great guards. With the hard salary cap you're never going to have a roster of All Pros. You have to pick and choose where to spend your cap and we already have a ton of it spent on the interior OL with our two recent big money guards. We kinda have to shop on a budget at center and Mays has shown he's up to the job. The other thing is that Mays is still pretty inexperienced at center. He should still have considerable room for growth.

Why not? We need depth anyway and Moton is on the wrong side of 30 and is going into the last year of his contract with a massive cap hit. It's not too early to start thinking about life after Moton at RT. Plenty of OL remain effective well into their 30s but a LOT don't.

If Tennessee can't say no and they have a shiny new #1 overall QB that's the direction I'd go. I'd prefer to not have to have us deal with that circus.

Some people seemingly just want to be unhappy. If we ever win a Super Bowl they'll be whining about how the game was so much closer than it should've been because of this, that, and the other.

It's almost like you can't grasp that Bryce and we as a team could play better and still lose. That was the story of most of the second half of the season. We just fuged up and actually won two of them. No one would feel a bit differently if the Falcons had won the toss and gone down the field and scored in OT like we did. Because that was the bottom line. That game was essentially decided by the OT coin toss the way both teams were scoring at will.

If you're out as soon as you're wrong about a draft prospect no one has survived a single draft. Hell, probably not a single round. It's a damn crap shoot. LOL

Not sure if anyone else is watching this D1-AA championship game but I don't know if these receivers have NFL athleticism but they got HANDS. These boys can flat out CATCH. This is a good football game.

5/10 Could easily see it going either way moving forward. We finished on a high note but it took a looooooong time of looking like a raging dumpster fire to get there.

This is definitely a key factor IMO.

Johnson is absolutely the guy I'd want if I was the Bears but I'm not sure I'd want the Bears if I'm Johnson. It all boils down to what he thinks of Caleb Williams. No questioning the WR talent and everyone knows they need to address the OL no matter what.

I've always wanted the Panthers to have an elite sideline to sideline ball hawking over the top true FS. Mike Minter is the best safety we ever had and honestly he was in the "good" category and he was a pure old school SS. Deon Grant is probably the only quality true FS we've ever had and we didn't even sign him to a second contract. It's a position we've always undervalued. I loved watching guys like Earl Thomas and Ed Reed and Brian Dawkins, Darren Sharper was a step below those guys but was another one I really enjoyed watching play. Having guys like that playing over the top allows your CBs to be so much more aggressive. Panthers fans have always lamented watching our CBs play 10 yards off the line on 3rd and short but this is a big part of the reason why.
