Called in to Late Hits on Sirius NFL Radio a few minutes ago.

Believes the 2nd half would have been a lot different if Seattle did not get such good field position on the kickoff. (Have not seen that mentioned here but is a great point.   That short field may have been the demon of the 2nd half.).

He thinks the Panthers will beat the Cards 41-38.  McClain and Finnegan, without mentioning names, are going to get lots of balls thrown their way....we all know that.

When he mentioned Cam he called him, "my good friend Cam."

Praised Richardson and Morrison for the type of players we have.

I think it's almost a certainty that the team lets off the gas. I think many teams do that in the midst of a blowout, but I think we do it way too early. Keeping that killer instinct out there a little longer could've made the box score read 41-14 instead of 31-24.

He is definitely one of the most panther friendly members of the national media.  Good story.

Brandt's resume' as a team architect is impeccable. No, he's not always right, but he's right more often than not. If someone wants to dispute something he says, he has the standing to back it up.

That, plus some of us get to a point where we're too old to give a flying rat's ass what people think, so we just do what we do.

Getting to a point where you just do what you do? Reminds me of a certain someone...

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
