I think he's jumping the gun just a bit. We're 2-2 so that makes us a .500 team. We beat the Chargers (1-3) and the Cardinals (2-2). The two losses came against a 3-2 Tampa team and the Raiders (2-2). We've played hard in all of our games. But, if we lose to the Falcons (0-4) this week I don't think Mr. Schrager (or my fellow Huddlers) will be feeling the same way.

Ehh, we've already exceeded or matched many people's (fans, media, etc.) expectations for this season and we're only a quarter of the way through. I agree a loss this week would be brutal and feel demoralizing, but just a couple weeks ago we were the favorites for 1st overall pick and many thought we had a chance to go 0-16... 2-2 is a huge success considering the roster turnover, coaching staff turnover and all the dead cap we have.

He said we are the best story, not the best team. We were suppose to win a game or two and have the worst defense in history. We were supposed to have a coaching staff in over their heads.  We are looking like a competitive team out of the blue. That makes a good story.

Though I'm not a big fan of Peter Schrager as he seems to just be a typical NFL talk type of guy not a knowledgeable analyst. More like a Stephen A Smith.

It’s amazing what getting a smart and competent coaching staff can do for a team.

No kidding. They’ve impressed me the most because I’m sorry to sound negative that we do have talent holes in a lot of places. It does make you sad for the 2013-2017 run to think what could have been with all that talent if we had a coaching staff like this in place.

We have a young team that tries hard, every game.  Regardless of our final record, and assuming we continue to be "that team", this season is going to be our most successful since 2015.  Turning over so much of the team both on the player side and staff side . . . it's incredible.

All this premised by "assuming we continue".  If the team gives up at some point, well, we've all seen that story unfold before.  I am cautiously optimistic for our future, if not this season.

Honestly, with a coaching staff as talented as this one, the 2015 Panthers probably go undefeated and win the Super Bowl, and then follow it up with a strong run at another title in 2016.  That team was talented.

      to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day

      I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..

      Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
