Let out young edge guys develop and save the money for a difference maker when this team is ready for a real run.  No need to get all bothered about not knowing the answer on the other side this year.

I kind of feel like we are more or less in “win now” mode. It just happens to be by a different name “do everything we can to support the rookie QB and make sure next years draft pick is in the 20s and we look smart” 

Was an upstart player on a bad team, it’s understandable. If we do well and he maintains his level of play he’ll get some attention for sure. 

I hope we win a lot of games and make that pick as low as possible. It doesn’t actually mean anything but it’ll make us look smart lol. 

Sounds like it all worked out. Shaq isn’t as beloved as some long tenured Panthers but having a playing from 2015 is nice, gives me that sentimental feeling.

I feel like people always say that about companies. I don’t expect the org to crumble. 

Hopefully they get more out of Burns to make the contract worth it. It’s a gamble but I understand the position they are in. 
 

I’m still pretty shocked we didn’t trade him. That would have been a juicy haul. 

So you still have to keep 3QBs but you just don’t have to activate 3 QBs?

im usually good with 2 QBs, has any team ever won a SB with a 3rd string QB? 

Definitely one of greatest running backs ever, and one of the greatest lacrosse players ever too. 

Very likely not a good person too, based on the amount of violent incidents he’s had in his life. 

Hopefully they do their best to showcase him in preseason so he can get a chance with another team. Nothing is going to make them give up on Young after 1-2 years years and if Corral thinks highly of himself he’ll really want to be competing somewhere else.

Corral deserves the same number of reps and chance that I do. Zero. 

Don’t be so cynical, you deserve a fair shot. 

I definitely heard Tepper mention it once but I assume it’ll probably have to wait until we have a new stadium.

anyone want to give a summary for those of us who don’t want to listen to an hour of coach speak?

BREAKING: Panthers staff to focus on “hard work” and “execution”

shame we will never get an easier playoff game. that poor 3rd string QB they had went to go up against prime Luke and TD.

Our crappy 7-9 team had to face the legion of boom after that so I don’t have much sympathy

I’m jealous of the folks in the nosebleeds on the west side of the stadium. Right under the scoreboard looks very shady.

New staff new schemes and brand new rookie QB. This ranking is probably where we should start the season at IMO.  It’s fair. 

Yeah I feel like expectations are way overblown, I hope ownership is patient. I also hope the coaches stick together long enough to build a cohesive culture/org.

West coast teams typically travel the most.

 

this is a nothing burger of an annual article

Nothing burgers are all we have to eat in these desolate off-season times! 

It felt like we WERE tanking in all those games lol.

I try to forget about Ken Lucas. 
 

I miss Chris Gamble.

Lucas was pretty legit in 2005(firmly tier 2)and I think he was somewhat serviceable afterwards. 
 

I think Gamble was better but he never reached shutdown status.

Won't see me complaining. 5 more games I'll most likely get to watch while they are not during the normal Sunday slate/Panthers. 

Yeah I missed a lot of games in high school bagging groceries on Sunday. Different schedules are nice for a lot of folks. 

Dwayne Jarret stuck around a long time on talent and potential. He apparently showed out in practice sometimes but just couldn’t cut it real games. Also I heard Smitty berated him a lot.

Your Right,Bucs fans should already be predicting Baker to win League and Superbowl MvP 

Why not? It’s the magic of the off-season  

There is genuinely no reason for every fan in the NFL to not predict their team can go to the SB at this time of year

Another offseason, another list of UDFA's that the Huddle gets way too excited over.

That’s kind the point of being a football fan, which is the point of having interests/hobbies, which is the point of feeling alive lol
