I'll agree with you on the football, but that's it. Summer is great, and I didn't take advantage of the hot weather enough this year. Nascar has the worst timing with it's schedule because as soon as football starts, I stop watching, and I miss the whole chase. Maybe if there were more saturday races I wouldn't. I'm pulling for Martin most, but wouldn't mind seeing Smoke win it, and Jimmie wouldn't be bad. Chevy FTW!! Baseball is a snooze.

Yeah, that's their biggest problem. They will NEVER beat football in head to head on a Sunday afternoon.

They don't schedule it right and to top that off, thru the season, a race is shown on a total of 5 networks. Your average fan can't keep up with it. Those who are ate up with it (like me) can tell you but the fan they are targeting gives up trying to figure which flippin channel the sh!ts on!

I thought about making a post about the “enlightened” sports fan. You know, the guy who can be critical of the organization when the team’s losing, but still realizes that you’re not going to have playoff seasons every year. The guy who loves the team, but is able to put it all in perspective and not let his team’s poor performances put a damper on his life in general.

These three losses have removed all expectations I’ve had for this season and, in an odd way, I can now just try to enjoy the season a game at a time with no thought of the future or playoffs. If we win, awesome. If we lose, no big deal – we’re not going anywhere this season any way. Win or lose, we’re going to see some changes, and that’s interesting in and of itself.

Other great things about this time of year: great weather, good food, good beer.

I think you are right on...with us going to the superbowl in 2003 it really gave the fans High expectations...and with all the up and down years, we have been on a crazy fuc7ing roller coaster ride. Now that we know we have some serious problems with our team we can atleast sit back, relax, have some beer and hope that we can look just a little better each and every game!

yeah, this. You know, it'd be great to be a Pats fan, or a 90s Dallas fan, or 80s San Fran fan. To rarely lose and always be in the race. There's a lot of appeal to that.

There have been a handful of teams like that in my lifetime, and I haven't been blessed to be a fan of one of them. I'm not going to be one of those douchey, bandwagon fans. I've got my team and you always want the best for them, but if it's not in the cards for this year to be the first year of some expected Panther dynasty, pitching a little whiny fit isn't going to do anything but make me one of those fans.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It should be a facto, because while he needs to perform to keep his job, you still have to build with an eye to the future. Where we will be drafting, there is a more than good chance of there being a player there at a position of more need, such as OT, LB, TE, S, or CB. With all those holes, I just don’t like the idea of taking a player who will ensure one of him, T-Mac, or Coker won’t be here 4 years from now, and we all know it won’t be T-Mac who gets jettisoned. So either believe in Coker or don’t, keep him and draft another position or draft a WR and trade him, don’t straddle the middle and hamstring us by leaving more holes while leaving us a huge problem a couple years from now.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.

      It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?
