Went to the Hall of Fame game in 95 between the Panthers and Jaguars with three of my friends.

We were the typical young male numbskulls who didn't plan anything, just hopped in a car and went.

By the end of the day, we were all thirsty, starving and had severe sunburns 😆

That is so cool, man. I have never been so excited for a preseason game. Even watching on TV, it was awesome!

One year ago, during the preseason, was when we all witnessed Rhule "coddling" Darnold and giving him hardly any reps.  We were all left wondering what we would get out of him once the season started.  You think Rhule will coddle Baker the same way as he's clearly emerging as the opening day starter?

...I went to that game also..... I grew up in Canton and had been living in CLT since 87 and wanted to get the taste of the Browns outta my mouff... Jumped on the Panther bandwagon then... Did you miss the Friday night festivities of bands, booze and booty?

It's funny how every nfl season starts and ends with worthless games.  (Hof game and pro bowl)

Jags and Raiders are probably the least interesting teams they could have picked. Not even really any interesting rookies to check out, maybe some random UDFA's will do something

Did you go to McKinley?  I went to Massillon.  I moved down here in 2004.  Went to training camp several years ago at Wofford and been hooked ever since.

When Tyrone Poole made his leaping interception, I jumped too 😄

Was also right there about ten or so feet away when Steve Isreal knocked down that final pass.

Nope. Just drove up the morning of the game and drove back after.

Did get to see the speeches.

Yup.... so im not accustomed to losing...but Massillon/Canton rivalry was awesome.... Think the browns should change their name to the Bulldogs...

Wonder if Carr/Adams will take the opening drive? There is that. 

I still think Trevor has similar appeal to a rookie QB. Given the mess Urban created last year made it all meaningless.  Plus, their other first round pick last year didn’t play last season because of injury.  I’m curious to see how Etienne’s speed looks on the NFL field.    So he basically is a rookie.

I agree!! They should give more respect to the Hall of Famers and make the first game of the season the actual Hall of Fame game.. instead of having to watch Scrubs!!

Tevor's not playing, Not sure about Carr. Adams is supposed to. Jarett Stidham vs CJ Beathard, actually both decent backups. I suppose both teams have new coaches but I doubt they show much as far as playbooks go

Bethard will not be playing.. he pulled his groin.. Looks like Luton for Jacksonville.. not sure who else they have as qb

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
