yeah i'm not happy with it. can't imagine that they are settled on it as well. i'm thinking it's probably likely that one of the first 2 picks will be a center because i don't think there's much in the way of FA OCs out there and they are probably going to want someone who could at least compete for the starting job.

We'll probably look to draft a center. Either one that can start right away (preferred) or developmental (most likely) who can be depth at guard. And maybe another swing tackle. I think we're in good shape, but I doubt we are done trying to get the OL right.

I hope you find a way to enjoy the team.

No it's not. Doesn't mean playoff contenders. It means we're going to put up a fight every week. And it means we're going to win some games. We aren't going to be a cakewalk or a gimme game this year. And teams that beat us will feel it for a few days. Fug that brake. Be brave, bold, and stomp on that gas.

The thing with Clowney, even half-assing it, he's still an upgrade from Burns.

I've just been doing this thing called being a panthers fan for nearly 30 years. I know the effect it can have on you if you take it too seriously and personally. It can eat you up but you've got to put it into perspective....it's just a stupid game and games are supposed to be fun. This is entertainment, it's supposed to be enjoyable. If it's not either of those things, then leave it behind. There's too many other things in life to make you unhappy. This is supposed to be an escape from the rough things in life...not an addition. If it doesn't seem fun from your vantage point, find another spot to look at the team where it can look fun again. There's more than one point of view. There's more than one perspective. Choose the one that makes you feel better about this stupid game and team. You control the view, not anyone else. Especially not anyone in the media. They're all idiots looking for the lazy hot take. The truth is, the team has a chance, even with Bryce. You just have to allow yourself to see the potential. You choose the view. Good or bad, you choose the point of view.

It's literally the toilet bowl of the Mississippi.

Good job getting it embedded. Keep it up.

The way you keep bringing back and how embarrassed you sound....I don't know, sounds like you do care a lot and you are taking it personally. I could be wrong though. Wouldn't be the first time.

Lol you care too much about all these perceptions. Denver is more fugged up than we are. Cleveland is probably, but yeah....keep thinking that people's perception matters. Seriously, who the fug cares? The more you care about that poo the worse it is for your psyche. You might have to give up this fan thing if you're so obsessed and affected by what others say. If you live your life controlled and affected by other people's perception, they've got you by the balls. They own you.

And Cleveland is pretty bad.

I think Denver has us beat.

More ironic, his name is chase.

Good. He can be a bum there.

We're going to be competitive this year. Trade back if we need/can, but focus on getting more picks this year. This is a good deep class. Get as much out if it as you can.

i know...eichenberg. i like him. guy has fight in him. still, probably should have gone OL there. overall i wouldn't be unhappy with this.

Would be nice to have a WR at 33 or 39 be somewhat of a luxury pick.

Pretty much all of that. I really don't like the way the team was left after last year. Just didn't seem like a complete team. We just weren't built right. I think that the team is looking a lot like it should have had we been run well. Yeah, QB is still a question mark, but there's lots of teams who are in the same boat we are. That's not abnormal and it's something that we just have to have patience with while they see if last year was an aberration or he's really just that bad and we simply just can't give him an honest eval after last year just because of how bad the whole situation is. (yeah you don't agree with me and i'm a moron for not seeing it like you do in your expert opinion - oh well) aside from BY, i think we're just now starting to look lie a team should look heading into the draft were it run well. if we can get clowney i would feel pretty good about the pass rush. not great, but it just wouldn't be the glaring hole we had. i see him as an upgrade to burns, tbh. CB is still an issue. Gilmore is out there but he probably wants nothing else to do with us. Not sure about that Steven Nelson cat. seems to bounce around a bit. could be we have to wait till the draft for that.

That's a sad, unfortunate truth.

Same here. I like him. I hope he can be everything we hoped he would be when we drafted him. I think we also will see a significant improvement in him. The biggest thing is I hope he's the guy just so we don't have to worry about that anymore. I really don't want to start the whole damn search over again.

I kind of like this one. Could be three starters right out of the gate with those first three... possibly 4 if we don't get Clowney or Young. Started thinking also about continuing to to beef up that OL. Got a good swing tackle and another solid OG, both show a lot of versatility.
