So I was perusing online for cornhole sets for when this whole social distancing thing gets relaxed and I came across this site (one of several) selling Panthers themed cornhole sets:

https://www.fanatics.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/tailgate-and-party-games/o-1361+t-47931335+d-97553589-9792+z-9-1529650705

The depressing part is this: Note that under player shops, Teddy Bridgewater is listed, so the site has been updated since his signing, yet 3 of the 4 top players listed in the top players section are no longer with the team. Sign of the times I guess.

Unrelated...Does anyone have a hefty bag's worth of black tar heroine I could mainline? No reason.

my 4 jerseys: Stew, Olsen, Luke and Smitty. :(

maybe it's time to start shopping for a 95.

The problem is, it's not about being attached fanboys to specific players.  It's that so much talent was wasted.   Cam was an NFL MVP.  Luke was a DPOY.  Olsen was a multiple time pro bowler.  We didnt win with them because they were tied to an inept coach who failed to recognize and target talent and failed to develop a roster around those pieces.  We should've been a favorite to go to the NFCCG every year with that core, and yet we didnt.  So, sorry, a lot of is are going to be salty...  yes, its exciting seeing this roster develop from nothing into what it is becoming, but it's also bittersweet because Tepper could've made the call on Ron as soon as he acquired the team, and MAYBE, just maybe, Cam and Luke would still be healthy enough to reap the benefits of it, as they deserved.  Instead, Tepper let Ron linger, waste more time and more seasons, and run two generational talents into the ground with nothing to show for it.

Hurney didn't know how to build a team around a young, gifted, cheap Quarterback.  That was the first mistake...we didn't have a GM or a HC who were smart enough to know what to do with the NFL's biggest gift.  They had absolutely no idea...none.

So they made a mess of it.  Got us into salary cap trouble.  Overspent on defenses instead of understanding that you need to build the D line and the O line first...then get your QB some reliable weapons.

That is what you should be mad at....JR, RR, and MH all being too stupid to know what they had in their hands....then choosing to waste it.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
