The Jets made their bed when they decided to pay a 34 year old Blake f’n Wheeler and retain Maurice.

I still believe Laine would’ve signed here long term had they offered him top dollar and put him on the top line (he deserved both). The locker room was split into two groups a couple seasons back and it’s never been the same since.

Hopefully the Jets can lock up PLD long term. His dad coaches here with the Moose (AHL) so it’s not as far fetched that PLD stays as some may think.

Whose locker room?

I'm not sure I wanted to part with anything for him. Canes are gonna need cap flexibility sooner rather.

Looks like some of the locker room problems I had mentioned are starting to come out today. There’s obviously a lot more to it but yeah, like I mentioned above, Wheeler is the root of all the issues. 34 year old loser captain.

So Laine WAS playing too much Fortnite! Too bad he didn't windup in Carolina, he would have been able to fill a squad with Cane's players.

I will preface this by saying I don't like Mark Scheifele as the captain of an NHL hockey team. I think he sets a terrible example as a leader and I tend to believe that he and Laine probably couldn't co-exist given their polar opposite personalities.

Don't get me wrong, I'd have Scheifele on my team for a 2-year year deal, but he wouldn't be a captain if I could help it. Anyone remember this? What the video misses is Scheifele cross-checking Pesce into the middle of the ice, Mrazek then trips Scheifele, and Pesce goes after him.

I was at this game and remember Scheifele taking a couple cheap shots once the Canes got out to a lead.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      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.
