How excited are you to watch Panther football in 2023 compared to the dumpster fire we have had to endure since Cam had his career changing injury? Let’s all rejoice and love one another, this is going to be a magical week for us all. I know that many of you are miserable fugs who will not be happy in any circumstance, but let’s reflect for a moment on where we were compared to now.

We have an all star coaching staff compared to the years of suffering under Matt Rhule (this actually could turn out to be one of the best in franchise history), we have a team that can compete for a division championship right away, for the first time in YEARS we have a top half of the league O line, we have young players at many positions that are on the cusp of being elite, we have a possible franchise QB coming in who will be on a rookie wage for the next 5 years, and plenty of cap space next season.

A few years ago we were debating Heinkie vs Kyle Allen, or Teddy B becoming a starter again in the NFL, or the possibility of Sam Darnold being resurrected. Now I challenge even the biggest Young haters to look at things from a positive perspective: His hands are 9 and 3/4 inches, he has one of the largest brain in NFL history, and his package is rumored to be between 7-15 inches long. Times have changed, and what a complete turn around in one offseason. Cheers to the upcoming draft week!

I'd like to dedicate this post to Lovie Smith. Without him we would be stuck at 9, arguing about how Will Levis would be the next Josh Allen or Justin Herbert. Cheers to you, Lovie.

Will Levis will be a Colt most likely.

We would be arguing whether to draft Bijan Robinson or a Cornerback lol

Being in the position we are now feels soooooo much better than having to sit at 9 and continue the QB carrousel that we have been on since daddy Cam left us

I prefer results. The man who hired/retained all those dumbass blunders is still here calling the shots. We are literally hoping he has learned, at the expense of fans, what other successful owners (and even arm chair GMs) already knew.

He is not backing off, so it’s clear he does not think he’s the issue, yet he is the common denominator. San Fran learned to back off and shockingly, they have success. We have to bank on Tepper either realizing that or actually call shots correctly.

Jury still out for me. We are undefeated off season champions since 1995. I’ll get exited when this team (and ownership) actually looks like it belongs in the NFL, which hasn’t happens for over half a decade.

I take exception to the nonsense that Byron Bell was disappointing.  The fact the franchise had to put him in the position of playing starter roles is the disappointment. When I look back on Bell I think he made the most of his time in the NFL.  Undrafted and played about 7ish seasons.  Dude should have been a good go-to bottom of the roster rotation guy and should never have been a starter.  That was not his fault. 

So as far as the glass half full goes, my cup runneth over for Byron Bell's football career.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
