Team positional history. Historically, we're very strong along the DL. Weak in the secondary. That's why good players like Gamble and Minter are so fondly remembered. You also remembering all the other trash that played those positions for us. Same with Gross at LT. Yeah, Gross was good but the way us Panthers fans recall him you'd think he was Jonathan Ogden. It's just because we've historically been soooo bad at the position. Gross is our oasis in the desert at LT.

Gross was a 1st team all pro in 2008 which equates to being the best LT in the entire NFL that year.

Michael Oher on the other hand...

Gross was very good and more importantly he was consistently good for a long time, but he's not the all time great LT that we remember him to be he just is in comparison to everyoje else we've fielded.

My God dude. Is there any Panther player you are not willing to dis on? Player, FO, Support staff. Is there anyone you like?

 

Gross was an all time great Panther. And one of the best LT in the league for nearly a decade.

 

Is this another one of your posts where you are trolling us. Get over it, we didn't draft Fields. Move on dude.

Think the point is while gross was a great player he wasn't a hall of fame LT, but around here he gets remembered as one.

I think the point is, Gross was one of the best LT in the game for almost a decade. Not making the HOF does not diminish his productivity. 

 

There are more than a few Panthers that have had good to great careers. Not making the HOF does not diminish their accomplishments either.

 

Ah the Panther fan. The only fans in the league that disrespect their own players careers.

The people saying brown disappointed perplex me the most since people fell over themselves praising Chris Gamble, who was never better than fine. 

Like what the fug did anyone expect? It was either Aaron Donald or bust.

I seriously think half the people on this site don't actually watch games and are just a CIA op to mildly annoy me. 

There's no need to knock down a guy to pump up another. 

Gamble was really, really good. 

Brown is one of those War Daddy DTs that SEC teams bag up early. He holds everything together in the middle and allows you to dominate the trenches IF you surround him with talent.

If Nixon reaches his potential he'll eat next to Brown.

Yeah, you are the smartest one in the room. I forgot about that.

 

1st you state, "Gross was very good and more importantly he was consistently good for a long time," Praise.

 

Then you state, "but he's not the all time great LT that we remember him to be he just is in comparison to everyoje else we've fielded." Disrespect.

 

YOU may under appreciate his career. There are a lot of folks that do not.

 

Like I said. Is their any Panther you won't dis on?

Saying Gross isn't an all-time great along the lines of a Jonathan Ogden isn't disrespect. It's reality. He's the Panthers' all-time great. That doesn't make him an NFL all-time great. My point was our views of certain players as a fanbase are heavily influenced by our history as a franchise at that particular position.

This isn't difficult to comprehend.

In regards to all the Jordan Gross discussion, I never took it as fans saying he was an all-time NFL great. But that he was still a great Left Tackle for us for years. And many of us would love to have somebody of that quality back again. I don't recall ever seeing him compared to All-Time NFL greats. But a staple like Gross was for us would make a lot of fans very happy. Myself included.

But then again, I can be mis-interpreting everything.

He's done this for years. I feel like the only one who noticed how excessive it is until recently. It's constant shitting on everyone.

      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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      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.
