Came home exhausted last night. 

Wasted season, fired HC, we lost the previous  game before the half 35-0, lost CMC and  rainy miserable weather pretty much through the whole game.  Traffic was a nightmare heading INTO Charlotte.

The stadium was half empty, but  the fans who were there cheered hard.    These were the die hard fans.... a lot of Mills and Delhome jerseys and the vibe was surprisingly upbeat. Chants of fnck Atlanta on the ramps going into the game, and Keep Pounding leaving.  My son really wanted to go to this one, and it was cool to see some grit from the team.  It was a great memory from a lost season and dark time for the Panthers.

Honestly, Atlanta is in that transitional first year with a new coach. We'll be there next season unless Wilks is retained.

Atlanta has some of the pieces but they are a QB and some defensive pieces away. We're, ummm, not that different. 

Still, I think the in division games this season for the NFCSouth should be interesting as all of the teams are on par with each other... and that's not a compliment.

Remember when this was the toughest division in the NFL?

I would say ATL is worse off but the biggest disappointment is definitely Tampa.

He's not getting away without at least taking a couple sacks. Too much money, he's never played behind a consistently good O-line, Rhule is gone, zero reason to not give him a couple starts

zero reason?  We arent resigning him why in the hell would we trot him out there knowing full well he sucks ass

Getting "another look" at Sam Darnold means waiting on him to inevitably throw one of the most ill advised passes you've ever seen. Come on. We know this story.

All you are going to watch are reruns the rest of this season.  The new episodes come out next season. Might as well settle in with a big bowl of popcorn and call the games as they come on...err play out.

The only argument that can be made is that he has been a damn good backup QB for PJ. I wont steal Baker's thunder here, but a lot of the practice reports and media reports have called out Darnold for being super helpful to the QBs around him. That's valueable if you have two young QBs on the roster..... MC9 and whoever we draft.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By DeAngelo Beason · Posted

      A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.

      The logic is hilarious.  "They have to see what Bryce Young looks like with 10 pro bowlers on offense, otherwise they'll never truly know if he's any good or not."

      Meditation: Reading Morgan,Reasons to bypass Edge and More

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Relax. Burn some lilac and honeysuckle incense sticks--waft them.  Breathe deeply. Sit with your legs crossed and hold your hands away from your bodies and open them while connecting your thumbs and middle fingers.  Close your eyes, then open them to read this.   Some random, radical thoughts that may contradict your calcifying opinions of what the Panthers need to do--No.  do not lock in.  Not yet.  As birds know when to migrate to more hospitable climates, you will know when it is time to start thinking that your opinion is all that matters and anyone who disagrees with you is stupid.  Avoid that pitfall for now. MORGAN'S APPROACH TO THIS ROSTER RIGHT NOW.  Morgan's strategy for re-signing our free agents is clear.  "If you love something, set it free..." Morgan is letting Mays, Rozeboom, Nijman, Rico, Wonnum, etc. enter free agency.  If they return, they do so on team-friendly deals.   Edge is not as big a need as we think. WHAT? AM I CRAZY? Clear your minds of it.  Scourton and Princely will no longer be rookies.  Our starting Edge players (Wonnum and Jones LL) missed a combined 22 games in 2025--of course we struggled to pressure the passer.  Secondly, we did not have LBs that were a real threat to blitz.  Rozeboom?  Wallace?  Puhleeze. More importantly, Wharton, the 5 tech who was supposed to pressure the passer from the inside, sucked a lot.  Our two top DTs were not really known for rushing the passer (A'shawn had 5 sacks in 2014, but for his career, averaged 1.5 per season.  Brown has averaged about 2 sacks per season).  Wharton was supposed to bring pressure from the DT position after sacking the QB 6.5 times for KC in 2024.  So maybe another edge is not the best way to address the problem.  SUMMARY:  improve the ILB play, improve pressure at DT, get a veteran back from IR, and allow your 2025 rookies to improve.  Here is my idea: Move up in round 2 and draft Jake Golday (Cincinnati, 6'3", 240 lbs): A flexible defender with experience as a pass-rushing defensive end, capable of filling hybrid roles.  (If Golday can slide out and rush the passer from a 9 tech or provide pressure from the 5 to free the nine from the WILL LB position, we could take a lot of pressure off the edges) OT:  There are five I would take (realistically) so move back in round 1 and up in round 2:  Proctor (I am warming in him), Lomu (going to be good), Freeling (this should be the guy we target), and Iheanachor--all project to be solid starters in the NFL--trade back and take the best of these. We KNOW we need a starting SAFETY. The draft seems loaded at S in terms of talent.  Working with Jackson and Horn (CB) and Moehrig (SS), I think FS is the missing piece.     So, based on my mood now: 1st TACKLE Trade back and take an OT--sign Nijman or a vet tackle to take the pressure off, but these OTs can start in a pinch. 2nd:  LINEBACKER Trade up and take Golday OLB--if we can't trade back in round 1, and this is my plan, I might take Golday at 19 and hope one of the OTs falls to 51--hope not, but you never know. 3rd:  SAFETY Free Safety:  I think we can take a player like LSU's Haulcy (who will drop to the third, imo) or Clark (who might even be there in the fourth) who can start. 4th:  QUARTERBACK: There could be some hidden, depressed talent to open day 3.  If you get rid of Dalton, or not, here is where you grab some fallen, unloved stock. 5th: WIDE RECEIVER--Pretty deep. Give XL a last chance but groom his replacement. 6th:  CENTER--there are some solid OTs whose arms were too short.  They can be coverted to centers and have superior athleticism.  Find a smart one and take him to groom. 7th: BPA FREE AGENCY:  INSIDE LB, CENTER, Depth
