Refs took the game over again as we were closing the gap while letting Memphis get away with murder.  Still believe we're the 2nd best team in the East, but missing Zeller has hurt us big time the last two games.  He is a much more vital piece to the puzzle than people realize.  We desperately need him back ASAP.

Also, we need Lamb back as an option.  We are thin and depth and quality mins from the bench have been an issue, especially with the injuries.  I hope we can find a way to upgrade there without losing much.

we need reliable players that we know relatively what we will get every night.. MKG is a huge ? - he has gone off for 25 pts and been a non-factor more often than the 25 pt bursts.. we need to swing a trade for Rudy Gay IMHO.. it would totally change us as a team but really give us the offensive firepower to compete for access to the Eastern Conference Championship and lose to the Cavs - which would be so so so big for us..

If Rudy Gay is the answer the team is in trouble.

NBA execs always believe Rudy Gay is the missing piece or the guy who could put a team over the top and it always fails.

Memphis was 1 game away from the WCF with Rudy Gay in a suit. The next year with him back they got eliminated in the first round. They would eventually go the WCF finals after trading Rudy Gay.

Toronto became a good team once they traded Rudy Gay.

Sacramento is a dumpster fire I can't blame him for that.

In brief Rudy Gay is not the answer.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
