Panthers Staying in Primetime

Gman is always right, remember guys?

they make the decision two weeks prior to the game. If the panthers are only 5-8 or 6-7 you can totally forget about it. Contrary to what people think the nfl wants a competitive game that has playoff implications on primetime that late in the season. Thats why they have the flex scheduling. It doesnt matter if bret favre is on or not.

would you be willing to bet money on that if the panthers still have a losing record by then that the game will be flexed out? Nobody cares about the panthers outside of charlotte. Nobody is going to watch a non competitive matchup just because favre is involved

it doesn't matter if its bret favre. They're not gonna put a team with a losing record that nobody cares about if they can have a more competitive game instead

Lmao! They only kept it because the bengals/chargers and packers/steelers games were protected and there were no other options

Green Bay @ Pittsburgh? ( edit - You're right, this one is protected.)

San Fran @ Philly?

San Fran/Philly could have playoff implications.

Just admit you were wrong with your Panthers suck - Favre doesn't matter posts

Um did you even read my post? Packers/steelers was protected. Philly/sf is a worse game than our game. They had zero options to chose from. So no gman is still right as usual

Philly/SF is worse than ours because of the Favre factor. Most of your argument was about nobody liking/knowing the Panthers. By your logic, Philly/SF should be the much better game because they both have national followings. Gman is wrong.

Sf had a national following in the 80s. No one cares about them either.minnesota has the second best record in the nfc which is why they got the nod

But you said it wouldn't matter because of the Panthers factor.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
