Ya I follow a few teams and the panthers have the worst media department and writers. Do they do anything like building the browns or flightplan (arizona). Like their own hard knocks type thing? They’re YouTube and social media is horrendous. Could hire a couple college grads to do a better job.

I think the nfl as a whole has pushed back on independent media and dana recording stuff. Team social media accounts are too important right now.

Sometimes we have blinders on to what the rest do the league does. Kinda like the black helmets, i was thinking, "wow the panthers finally listened" but in reality the nfl changed the rules and like 13 teams are doing alternate helmets this season.

Again, sorry for the length.

No apology owed. In a day when Twitter only gives us little bits and pieces, more thorough analysis is good to see.

My health hasn't allowed me to get out to training camp for a long time. I miss observing the little things. The descriptions and pics here remind me what it was like.

Appreciated 🙂

Never understood the Ian Thomas re-signing.....I mean he is notorious for being not so football smart in games and tends to drop important passes!

He's never been that special. He can block a little bit now though, but nothing Band-Aids can't do.

The price was absurd. Not a smart move by Fitterer/Rhule.

I agree with you there, but I'd call it a WTH-moment (like including a 2nd round pick for Darnold) as opposed to a WTF-moment (like extending Darnold). It's Darnold-esque for sure.

I hope the kid's hands suddenly soften up and his route running heats up.

Yeah, hence why I am wary of proclaiming Fitterer some sort of genius. He isn't a real GM and our moves have been equally good and bad. 

I hope to see him in a traditional GM role with our next coach. I think that will let us know if he is the guy or not.

You realize that he is highly ranked and thought of by NFL circles, simply for his work as GM here, and that's despite the Darnold extension (but, admittedly, maybe skewed by his drafting)?

I certainly haven't seen anything credible showing him "highly ranked" nor thought of in "NFL circles." 

If anything, he's an "incomplete" because he isn't a real GM. We have no idea what he is truly responsible for and what Matt Rhule is responsible for. I hope it's been a healthy dose of Rhule on the many bad moves we've seen.

I'll take "Incomplete" with what Fitterer has done with the draft and acquisitions he made this offseason.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By cranky · Posted

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.

      At the end of the day we're all holding our breath in anticipation waiting to see if Bryce Young will look and play horribly to begin his fourth season just as he has in his first three seasons. No cherry picking obscure metrics or screaming about haters will change that.
