Nailed it.... (edit) Please let the Panthers open the Season on Thursday night against Denver....

Would be a great thing for the Panthers to open the season on Thursday night. 

 

This will be the only time a Thursday night game will ever be a good thing. Full week to prepare as the 4th preseason game doesn't even really count as a game and is at home, no travel. Starters won't play. Then after, 10 days to prepare for week 2. 

 

Sounds like a 2-0 start to me.

might also avoid a late season messy weather slop fest there, would help dampen their banner raising, would get their QB in his first game there, would set the tone for the year...too many reasons to count why this would be huge.  No reason this shouldn't happen.

On one hand it takes good teams that become bad a couple weeks to realize they suck and implode, so they may not look as feeble week 1 as they will by week 8

 

But IDC. Bring em on. Annihilating them on banner night and letting them know its over may be the only way for me to get on board for next season with the same anticipation I've had every previous year of my fanhood

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
