I have no beef with Horn it was just a terrible pick if we wanted to maximize value. A QB or LT made the most sense, either to increase Darnold’s chance of success by beefing the OL or by covering our bases if/when Darnold failed by having a promising rookie QB on the wing to groom.

Imagine how different our outlook going into this years draft would be if we had a promising young QB to work with.

I thought we would maximize the value of our draft picks when Hurney left but we’re still doing the same stupid poo.

Right!? I like Horn a lot he is going to be a stud and you can tell he is a student of the game. But at the end of the day he is still just a corner. As good as he will be he can only do so much if our offense is doing what it's always done which is go 3 and out. It just boggles the mind that we would go corner last year when QB and LT have been the biggest looming voids and are currently two of the most sought positions. It is not hyperbole to say we have only further delayed this rebuild with an all defense draft and back to back 1sts on defense. Now some of us are ready to engage in fisticuffs over which to draft QB or LT 🤣😂

My main issue Is the man who’s responsible is still employed. Gross incompetence like this is hardly tolerable. I hope it doesn’t set a precedent….oh wait the same owner kept Hurney…

His money is painful, but are we really going to get rid of a "young player" just to get it off the books?  They made a bad move, gotta live with the consequences instead of continuing to compound it with more dumb moves.  It seems like they are determined to poo away this surprisingly good offseason with foolishness.  ie: trading a player to dump Sam's money or drafting a qb at 6.

I HATE IT HERE.

I'm just saying, at this point in FA, I'm not sure where that extra 18M would go wisely with what's left out there?  We already have the most cap space in the NFL after the CMC restructure, and haven't spent much of it.  With all of that space, there's been no movement at LT, in bringing Gilmore back, adding another (new) safety, or adding edge rush help to help with Reddick's departure.

I just don't see the urgency in needing that cap space right now...  Not unless there's another big move for a QB we're not seeing?

to be fair, we don't know what kind of movement has been going on behind the scenes or what kind of stuff us in the works.  just because a blue checkmark isnt saying something is happening doesn't mean something isnt in the works. 

 

this has been as tight lipped as i ever remembered the panthers being

Well, I agree.  I speculated in my other reply to snake, that I can't fathom what we would need the cap space for unless they are working on a trade for another established QB before the draft...  I also mentioned how Fitt said our plan last year was to always fill our needs in FA so when the draft comes around we can just draft BPA.  And then, even with the current cap space we have, we could still sign a guy like Clowney, re-sign Gilly, etc., so the only reason it makes sense to get Darnold off the books immediately is if we are trying absorb a bigger contract...  the only guy I can think of that would be worth that, IMO, who was rumored to be available at various times the last two seasons is Derek Carr.  If we trade for him, I will cream my effing pants.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment.

      I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
