Let's draft Adam Morrison, let's draft Malik Monk instead of Donovan Mitchell, let's draft MKG...

MJ, your decisions are crap, let your GM do his damn job. Who in the hell are you going to hire now?  He better be head and shoulders better than Borrego since your emotions decided to can him. 

What a cluster this is.

I mean, MJ has let Mitch pretty much take over and our drafts have been fantastic over the last couple of years lol

Yes, he has. But wasn't the Borrego firing all him?  I know Mitch is covering for him, but this seems an MJ decision. When MJ "interferes", bad things go down.

Borrego was what he was.  We saw his ceiling as a coach, and it wasn't pretty.  We need a new coach and although this is embarrassing, it probably is for the best because Atkinson is a bum and D'Antoni and Snyder are better options.

More embarrassing things happening for Charlotte sports, although personally I wanted D'Antoni much more than Atkinson so hopefully this plays out like it did for the Colts getting a much better HC after McDaniels pulled this poo on them. fug Kenny A

Yeah it is bs because this dude should've never  accepted the offer or went through with the  other interviews we gave him. It's draft week and now it's forcing Mitch to see which direction  goes best with new coach. Btw... hope we don't go after Looney... im tired of neglecting the 5 position  with just guys.

Crazy how going from down 2-1 in the NBA Finals to 4-2 and NBA Champions changes someone's mind so quickly. I liked the idea of Atkinson as coach but he just let his true colors show. The guy is a coward à la Josh McDaniels. Guy went from being ready to jump ship when he thought the Warriors may lose in the finals to "Oh wait I'm getting a ring? Nevermind, fug Charlotte. Bay Area for life". What a giant pussy.

Atkinson’s heart wasn’t in it from the start, whatever, I didn’t want him anyway and I’m personally glad that he isn’t going to be our head coach. However, that fact that he was able to deceive our higher ups when it should have been obvious that his heart wasn’t truly in it is concerning. It leads credence to the belief that our front office has no idea how to hire a competent head coach.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
