Atlanta. Forever. 

I was at a Foo Fighters concert and Grohl mentioned they had just come from Atlanta. In unison the entire crowd loudly booed. He asked why we did that and the crowd again loudly booed. It's a Charlotte thing.

As for the Saints, it's more a Sean Payton thing than the team.

To me personally, the Falcons just down the road in Atlanta are our biggest rivals. I have often traveled to Atlanta for the Panthers vs Falcons games and come away with a feeling of sadness and remorse.

Please watch the video and notice how unselfishly Cam, gives up his body attempting to make a first down.

Division rivals. We don't play anybody else enough for there to be a significant rivalry outside of the Division. 

Atlanta straight up owns us in the wins/loses column. 

The Saints have always been a thron since Brees. 

The Bucs have won 2 championships, yet they are one of the most inconsistent teams in out division. 

So for me, it's Always going.to be Atlanta and whomever the divisional champion is.

I still think it's Atlanta and New Orleans.  We'll need to finish second to prove ourselves this year

If I only get to pick 1, I'm going ATL, mainly because they're so close. Ironically, I've never considered TB a rival, really, because, well they suck. Looks like they showed me! This year, I'd say they're who I want to beat the most, because that would likely mean that we win the division. 

BTW, fug the Taints too.

I think to have a great rivalry you need certain players to make it a little more than a football game.   We just have had so many all around good dudes that play for us. 

maybe Horn can help with that.   Not saying Horn isn't a good dude.  But we need some trash talk.  We some edge before and after the whistle.

I’ve noticed over the last 2 years these division rival games don’t seem to matter to Carolina. It’s all ho hum just another game. Would be nice to see a little extra against those divisional foes 

 

Free Agency killed rivalries.  Now it’s hard to develop a tradition when the guy you pulled for last season plays on the team you hate this season.

He truly was superman.

We don’t have a rival. We haven’t been competing with anyone. Apparently it’s been Rhule vs Ron. Fitterer vs Hurney. That’s all you guys talk about. 

Rhule beat Ron last year. 

Fit is finessing the draft while Hurney is looking for his lost car keys.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
