It looked like he finally played like he had the confidence in himself that the Panthers have always had in him.

It also is provably somewhat to do with not having Luke’s shadow over him. He’s able to fully take charge and be himself now. Not discrediting Luke or anything. Just saying he had really big shoes to fill last year. Now that it’s a little more removed he probably feels a little freer.

I don't know if it was just the number switch or what, but he looked like a different player out there today. I've been just as tough on him but I'm hoping today was a sign of things to come.

I'm hoping it's coaching.

Rhule has assembled a staff of teachers. 

This was, by far, the best game I've seen Thompson play for us. He actually looked like a good LB.

Not sure if $18-20 mil a year for a LB will be a bargain. His 8m this year is looking good, but contract as a whole, I’m not sure anyone can really live up to just idiotic though not his fault. I agree he played well. Problem is he earned a lot of great money being good, but it’s in the past. Something will have to be done about his contract at the end of the year. Let’s see if he can keep it up and be worth most his money.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
