The Athletic: Insight to Brian Burns Contract
Donald LaFell replied to Saca312's topic in Carolina Panthers
I think the problem is that he definitely will which is why I was ok with trading him. I feel like big money should go to 3 down players or at least they need to load up on the D Line to keep him effective. -
I think all sides try to be politically correct but when it comes down to brass tacks Burns is on the precise of generational wealth and needs to look out for himself. I can see why the team didn’t trade him to attract a new head coach, but I feel like willingly gave up leverage so I’m surprised they aren’t paying Burns. Even though the Patriots don’t draft well I really like their policy of trading the guys they can’t pay before their 1st contract. Keeps everyone happy.

I’m not trying to sound snarky but I feel like this is always code for having crappy receivers. I don’t mean it as a criticism of the FO as you can only do so much in an offseason. But it does feel like Theilen will be Young’s favorite target so far.

Hardy was a highly touted prospect who dropped due off the field stuff in the draft. He also showed a lot of progress his first two years. YGM hasn’t been effective, I’m not sure why anyone would consider him primed to breakout? Especially just based on stats. That’s asinine.

Chris Harris before that

Official Lions at Panthers damn it's hot out GameDay thread
Donald LaFell replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
Regardless of how Corral turns out I’m glad the staff gave him a chance to put a lot of film out there. I feel like it will help with UDFA recruiting next year(I hope). -
I feel like the stadium culture is just not all that cohesive. People are so quiet and bored. I hate whoever that fan hype man is. Just feels like a random radio jockey vs more organic fan of the team. The PA in the lower level is way too loud. i wish the stadium had better public transit access.

I can’t tell if you are knocking or praising that era of Lexus but those LS sedans have a cult following for reliability and quality.

I perfectly content to watch a new squad take their lumps during a 2-3 year period while the coach settles in. Something about this team just looks plain lackadaisical and I sure hope it’s on purpose.

In my experience when the team looks bad in the preseason they look bad in the regular. I haven’t really seen enough individual efforts from guys to look excited. Right now they look pretty bad. I’d be surprised if they look much better in the regular season. I’m fine giving coaching 2-3 years to hit their stride but I expected a better preseason outing. Not really pessimistic about the team but I feel a little iffy.

How is Thomas firmly TE2

Hopefully just bad cramps

how important is it that we win preseason games?
Donald LaFell replied to rayzor's topic in Carolina Panthers
In all my years every time we suck in the preseason we suck in the regular season. IIRC we looked good in preseason 2006 but totally sucked in the regular season. That was the biggest surprise I think. I think they need to look invigorated and make some progress week over week. Mistakes are fine but I’d like to see them look motivated and make some plays. -

That was 2013 -
RBs don’t need preseason anyway, bubble wrap till the season

Not sure if serious but any/everybody doesn’t want to get struck by lightning

It's Jets joint practice Day 1 (8.9.2023)
Donald LaFell replied to Ricky Spanish's topic in Carolina Panthers
Everyone was mad about the field too -
Yeah seems like he’s petering out like a lot of 6th rounders do. NBD, happy he got to play some. I wish we took that huge OT on the 3rd day this year.

Panthers sign excellent DT replacement for Bravvion Roy
Donald LaFell replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
This guy has been on an impressive amount of practice squads. I hope he’s saving his money! Maybe he’ll finally break through. -
It’s a lot nicer to mow the lawn or go for a walk and check the score routinely than be a die hard fan. I can never break away from my fandom but I’ve learned to have balance.

Teams who aren’t in the SB hunt should pay their RBs and trade them for a 1st. Buy a first round pick back.
