Man I remember that preseason game versus Baltimore before the 2015 (I think?) run. Luke Kuechly you absolute monster you.
That was 2013

RBs don’t need preseason anyway, bubble wrap till the season

we’re not determined enough to practice in dangerous weather?
…honestly overall this doesn’t sound good for us
Not sure if serious but any/everybody doesn’t want to get struck by lightning

Pepperidge Farm remembers. The Dolphin beat writers were clowning us and saying they had to take it easy on us b/c we couldn't hang...
Big market bias is real, but none of that matters come the regular season.
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.

This guy has been on an impressive amount of practice squads. I hope he’s saving his money! Maybe he’ll finally break through.

First season for me that I'll support the Panthers with my money in some time.
Very long time.
I'm hoping to spend more time watching them this year, I honestly missed more games/quarters on TV over the past 3 seasons than in the previous 15 years prior combined.
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.

he should play. as much as any other starter. we got a new scheme. Horn hasn't even logged a season yet in the NFL. We need to be good defensively this year.
I don't want to go w/ a Mr. Glass mindset. Also sets a bad tone I think w/ other legit starters. Horn more precious than Burns or Brown?
I think most established guys shouldn’t play much. I feel like this focus on stubborn principles vs actual pragmatic decision making is what separates these old school drones like Wilks/Fox/Rivera from coaches who aren’t afraid to actually to think for themselves.
You will have different rules for different players. Horn is the only legit CB we have and has bad luck for getting injured so don’t play him.

If they play him in preseason I won’t be optimistic about the staff’s decision making abilities.

Please just treat it like preseason, I’m tired of watching players like Stewart or Newton getting hurt.
Young will get plenty of experience this year, he doesn’t need to get hurt in a scrimmage.

I admit I was one for a while, but mainly because of the cap issues Hurney put us in and Gettlemans work to get us out of some of that. But he proved to be more of a detriment to the team than he was an asset.
The first two drafts were pretty great too. Gettlemagic started off strong.

Yeah if it’s public money then there better be a lot of reqs attached. I’d rather zero public money be used.

I’ve never seen an infamous Jersey but I have seen St. Pierre and JJ Jansen jerseys

He will be an epic failure at Nebraska as well. It will be fun to watch.
People keep saying this when plenty of college coaches did terrible in the NFL and didn’t skip a beat going back to college.

I’m not going to say they are overpaid because of the beating they have to take, but I don’t want to have the highest paid RB in the NFL ever again.
For real, any non contending team should pay their RB and trade them for high draft capital to a contender. I view it as buying draft capital.

Try telling that to former coach MoRon Rivera.
I mean Fox drafted Williams and Stewart. Rivera keeping both signed was a bit dumb though lol. The spending spree in 2011 got a little dumb especially for some of the home grown players.

Jeffers actually put up stats though.
Yeah Jeffers had a beast of a year.
I like how the author mentions Smith’s PR experience as a plus when he’s shockingly bad at fielding the ball

Its almost as if you don't know how business works! He didn't buy the team to make fans happy, he bought it to make HIMSELF money! He is doing that.
What’s disappointing is these franchises print money no matter what unless the entire NFL goes in decline. JR made asinine decisions about costs(indoor practice facility). But at least he prioritized the football team for the stadium.

It’s bittersweet when artists get big enough that they only do stadiums or outdoor venues too. Takes a lot of the atmosphere away for me sometimes.

You can’t fix every position in a single off-season. There’s not even a CB/Edge available to sign on the same level as D-Hop.
I’m all about getting Young as many weapons as possible. Especially in his first few seasons.
Yeah I’m on this line of thought. I don’t think this team can get to a SB before young’s 1st contract is over so I think the next 2-3 years is about helping him develop and drafting well.

I love how they put grass down for the traveling soccer teams each time. It’s so deflating knowing that Tepper ultimately values flexibility for his entertainment biz vs winning or player safety.

The view I'm getting from these comments about Young is that his ability to understand and apply nfl level concepts is that of a more seasoned veteran. It's kinda caught the staff off guard a bit and that's a good thing. It may not sound like much but it is a blessing in disguise.
I still worry about him “anticipating” at a college speed for his first year in the NFL and getting baited by some NFL safeties. It’s not a big deal for a rookie QB obviously. If he starts dinking and dunking defenses like Brees or Brady I’ll be really impressed.

I got absolutely thrashed on this forum for saying Rhule was trash and should’ve been fired year before last.
There are absolutely idiots left here. You know who you are. Actually, you probably don’t.
There are some posters here who think literally everything and anything this franchise does is the right move (despite being one of the worst record wise) and anyone who says otherwise they just give poo to.
I mean some of that comes with being a fan. I was born in this region and I support the home team. I was optimistic when Rhule was hired especially since we hadn’t tried a college coach before but it just didn’t work out. Pretty much all of that is Rhules fault for certain.
I definitely didn’t want the Hornets to draft Brandon Miller but hopefully he ends up being a great player.

how important is it that we win preseason games?
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.
