Pejorative Miscreant

Yes I was in the midst of posting a similar reply. I’ll go with this

I don’t think the coaches are putting too much on his plate but I believe mant fans have unrealistic expectations out of the gate. He has the skills and intelligence o be successful but I don’t think it will be in the form of a first year dynasty. I think the comment from Tepper was just saying you don’t need to break the bank on top dollar FA offensive weapons if you have an elite QB. The FO and coaches know we need good WRs one also know this group has no clear #1. I think the team believes Marshall and/or Mingo excel this year, otherwise BY gets by with the mediocrity this season and it’s hopefully addressed next off-season

Rich people are poor people with money. Doesn't make it any less annoying though

The last time I had good Bojangles was a tailgate special before an NC State football game in the 90s. I think it was before the internet…. damn I’m old.

Very reasonable end of thread comment.

Not sure. Just looking forward to seeing him and Corral.

I think this is a reasonable assessment. But with Burns many people are only looking at what he doesn’t have or bring to the table. I think the naysayers should be looking at what you lose if you don’t sign him. Maybe not perfect but you can’t go to the Defensive End store and get someone with all those superlatives gift wrapped to plug into a roster. It’s not settling or overpaying it’s just what the market is for current elite players at that position. Burns will get every penny he is worth either here or elsewhere. Based on the offer the organization turned down I would bet it’s going to be here. Folks have to deal with it.

BY and his agent want to maximize his income. Rightfully so. The Panthers organization want to minimize risk. Rightfully so. Both groups need the contract signed and have BY in camp on time. The sausage making will get done this week because it is in everyone’s best interest to do so.

Twitter dude read Gannts article.

What would you expect from the people that faked a moon landing. /s

I hope the folks in N.O, Atlanta and TB grow to hate BY as much as we hated Brees, Ryan and Brady. That’ll be a true measure of success.

Don’t blame BY for negotiating. Don’t blame the org for it either. Just business. But it will get done.

I remember that fiasco. Used to visit Smack forum to read SCP abuse that Alice dude. Such fond memories of the good old days.

As a player, he’s got a bit of a mean streak in him.

I think maybe he needs to play a snap or two for me to have any definite opinions. Maybe even win a game? I’m very enthusiastic about him but I just want to give him time to settle in a bit.

I think it was mixed but personally I was happy the team was trying to do something. I don’t think many were really excited about BM, they were just excited to have something to hope for. but yeah it was rhule so it was just the next train wreck.

A head coach Micromanaging PR on a professional sports team classifies as worrying about things that don’t matter, Matt. I feel a bit purified too. Good riddance.

Take that poll after young makes a (run of the mill, every rookie goes through this) mistake in practice and I suspect your results will be way different. Personally I’m very optimistic but it’s gonna take some time to fully come together. Good to be excited for this team again.

Haven’t paid much attention yo defense as it has been overshadowed by new toys on the other side of the ball. But yes it will be interesting to see. I have questions on who compliments Burns and how our backfield shakes out. Not overly concerned (yet) but I hope Horn/DJax are healthy and ready to go.

Just me, but I’m not a sauce guy. If my bbq needs sauce I need better bbq. Generally a bit of Texas Pete gets me by. On a similar note, my then 16 year old son got a job as a line cook last summer. He caught on fairly well till he had to stock deliveries one morning before opening. Manager told him to take the steak sauce to the pantry. His reply…. What is steak sauce? True story and Proud papa

Minnesota had 4800 receiving yards last year and Theilen was #2 behind Jefferson. I personally hope Theilen doesn't end up being #2 on the list and would not value him less even if he has a dropoff. Hopefully the young guys catch on and carry the load. Let him be primarily a redzone/TD and 3rd down pass catching machine but from a production standpoint I want development from the youngsters.

Yes. You are both correct. That is a complete brain fart and was a stupid statement on my part. Thanks for pointing that out.

That group had Olsen and a waning Cotchery but not much else. While this team doesn't have a talent like Olsen, we do have several sturdy and capable pieces. Also, I think the Oline is probably much better than the group back then. That coupled with a more innovative coaching staff leads me to believe this Panther group will surprise a lot of people this year. I think if Young will have some normal growing pains as a rookie but he will impress. Probably drinking some homerade, but I think we will be in a position to win the division this year.
