Watching the video attached to the article beginning at 58:00mins, they discuss Panthers vs Texans. They start by sharing "traumatic" experiences they've had with Panthers fans and how they attack you if say something bad about the team or any player. 

it starts with a Marc Sessler's confession and acknowledgement of Josh Norman's great game against Jax.

PS: that huddle thread gets a mention.

I knew there had to be some kind of backlash against the media for going out of their way to trash our entire franchise and players. One analyst a few weeks ago flat out said "the Panthers are a lousy franchise, and they're going to have a lousy season". He was squirming around in his chair and waving his hands around like he was in pain because he had to think about the Panthers. Another major "expert" admitted that he would sometimes force himself into "hate watching" Panther games as a form of torture to let out some anger. I know we're a small market team, and some of our fans are metrosexual and indifferent toward winning, but we have passionate fans as well. We don't want to be told repeatedly that our franchise is garbage, and that we're going to lose to teams like Jaguars. So yes Panthers fans are a little prickly by now.

That was Gregg Rosenthal. He was the guy on far left in the video OP is talking about.  I'm surprised he didn't mention it when everyone else was talking about getting bashed for what they said

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
