nothing against him, but i hope he doesn't make the team unless he blows the doors off everyone. i just don't like the idea of us being in such shape that we let a guy who took a year off last year get a roster spot. i'm sure he had good reasons, but i'm more interested in seeing the younger guys get a shot or David Moore since he proved himself last year with us.

9 wins and NFCS champs this year.

i'd like to keep this thread alive all offseason. close it first day of training camp. that's my goal.

good write up, btw. thanks for doing all that work

I fixed the OP for those of us using dark mode.

glad we stuck to it. i think we're going to be really happy we did.

this place had been cooking for a few years before i got in here and already had an....ummmm......interesting culture. i remember it being called the panthers huddle before the team shut down that name and then the big crash after that ATL game in 2008 where Harry Douglas(?) went nuts.

i've been here over 20 years now. i'm not planning on going anywhere, but i think if zod sold it i might. depends on who he sold it to i guess.

i'm really digging everyone that we drafted. just looking at that list and i see most of them being people who can or will get used pretty heavily in the next few years. i think Horn will probably have the hardest time getting serious play time of all of them. yeah...we definitely got three starters in that bunch coming out of the gate (TMac, Scourton, and Ransom) and four more that will be in heavy rotation.

i'm quite happy with this draft, especially after hitting all the stuff we did in the offseason leading up to the draft. bringing in moering, bobby brown, and wharton was huge for us. so was dowdle. i think that set us up quite nicely for the draft. i think tmac will be a really good target for bryce. same with mitchell. we've got a good WR room right now with a ton of potential. i REALLY like the TE room right now. RBs looks good now as well. i think that defense is going to be a lot better next year as well. we added a lot of beef to the DL and a lot of boom to safety...all of it geared towards shutting down the run game. the last few weeks our pass rush was getting to the QB quite a bit and giving them a rough time. i think there was already a lot of momentum to build on there. it was just the run game that kept killing us. looks like we got that fixed.

we got the right WR at 8.

sounds like you need put out of your misery. i can help with that.

i love it. hope he can make a mark. i love the way our receiving corps is shaping up.

pretty much this. for anyone with an open mind, it has to be perfectly clear that he proved himself worthy of the starting gig and we're going to be in good shape going forward. the benching was the wake up call/kick in the ass he needed.

I think he comes out looking like he did to finish the season.

Did he not come off the bench running? He's not going anywhere, nor should he be. BY9 is going to be the panthers QB for a long time.

I keep thinking this. Benching was the end of coddling. When he came back the little boy became a grown ass man. Nothing but respect for what he did after coming back and nothing but excitement for what lies ahead. Haters better get over it and doubters better start believing.

Sorry. This is just silly.

1) committing to your QB is not a bad thing 2) putting your QB in the best situation to win by getting him a good OL and giving him a lot of weapons is not a bad thing. We are heading in the right direction. Feeling some positivity about the team is not a bad thing.

I think it's a bigger deal that we stop the run. Let the front rush and frustrate the passing game and make it easier for the secondary to control the receivers.

Well our top analytics guy either for PFF for a long time so it's white possible there isn't going to be a lot of difference. We aren't using theirs. We have no need to. We've got our own guys

Offensive "huh?" surprise pick then two "hell yeah!" defensive pick then another "huh?" surprise offensive pick. That's the cycle we're in. And apparently we have a thing for Notre Dame TEs.

Pattern holds

Lol and there it is....another "huh?" Offensive pick

Yeah the hair is enraged. What a clown.
