I'm 80% wrapped on a film I'm shooting and after a three-year sprint to get here I needed a breather. Plus signing what amounts to Netflix deal this week demanded a celebration. So I flew to St. Lucia.

Last night, as kickoff approached, I, marooned on a faraway beach, found myself caught between two choices: go out and find a bar and eat and drink and socialize and get hit on by voracious cougars from the sandals resort up the road, or drop $50 on high speed data to watch the panthers eat ass instead. Crossing my fingers and dumping international data on my plan, I chose the latter.

Imagine my surprise when I caught myself, for the briefest moment, wondering which regular season game this was. Through the cigar smoke it looked like a November matchup playing out on the screen of my iPhone.

Who's the ginger cringer in 14? Holy poo, he settled in and threw two touchdowns and ripped out frozen ropes on those first-down outs that made cam so good. Who in the sweet fug is number 2 and why is he- oh my god that's DJ Moore! He looks good. Why is Muhsin Muhammed wearing number 88? Wait! That's a fuging ROOKIE. Who's that intercepting that ba- OH MY GOD IT'S BRIAN BURNS. And how did the Panthers get Raymond Cruz to kick for them? Who the fug is running the Panthers now and why weren't they here a decade ago?

It's an imperfect team, and the interior line has to be addressed, and the jury is still realistically out on Darnold, but hot god damn if I didn't find myself dousing the remainder of my cigar and heading inside feeling like choosing the Carolina Panthers over a hangover and regretful decisions with a plastic 40-something divorcee from New Jersey was the right decision. More of this please.

Well it is just pre-season, so I may have just chosen the plastic something divorcee from Jersey. There are a still few gems available from the 40 something selection pool.
 

Now, if we are are talking about the regular season, then that would be a entirely different story.

How many people are members here who have yet to get the PhillyB experience? This is what I came here for 10 years ago; the PhillyB ESPECIAL!

Now, we need our weekly Thursday or Friday post back Philly. 

Also, that was the smoothest I've seen a Panthers QB look since Steve Burlein.

As I wrap up some lvl21 and 22 plans for a mid rise, I thought..Panthers. Just got done with a floating session and morning meditation and am about to sip the most delicious cup of Oregon mushroom tea. And thought..Panthers

I love this teams potential and I love that we have a competent GM and a HC willing to make changes to better the team. I hate listening to 99.9 the fan where Adam Gold constantly trashes the team and HC after sucking off Rivera for years. Same thing with Joe Giglio and Joe Ovies. The Joes are more blatant about their dislike of the coaches and FO. I have to turn it off sometimes.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
