@Icege I have been a long time lurker maybe a decade now. I predominantly read here an inferior site comments and contribute occasionally on Reddit. I felt the need to finally say my peace here also. @Bear Hands should look to encourage other more tenured mods or Igo if he still cares to review other mods bias because over the past maybe 2 years I have notice him throughly take advantage of his status and since we drafted Bryce Young he’s gone on to allow other posters to make this place further become the equivalent of the Panthers Facebook page quality of commenter. Yes everyone has a differing POV but to full on bait people into getting banned by pushing the limits, critiquing anything our QB does whether positive or negative and making it a bash fest, joining in on hate posts and fueling the fire to make them the most commented threads honestly should’ve had him removed from being a mod a while ago. Once he sees this he will go into vendetta mode and look for any reason to defend himself and try to ban anyone against him. This place used to be pretty solid hell the people who posted nonsense before were at least funny when they would go off the rails, what we are seeing now is lack of structure, lack of leadership, and most importantly lack of unison because at the end of the day we are all supposedly fans of the same team and coming together would be good in these times. Don’t you think!

It’s also funny how the Panthers won today and there’s next to no engagement on the site. Normally after a loss I’d come here and see post after post ready to blame Bryce, Tepper, and the coaching staff. Tonight there’s little to no talk about anything, which tells me the most active posters on here have an agenda and if there’s nothing to feed of of them they choose to ignore it. Quite ironic.

It really is mindboggling that people can look at the corporate, big tech-controlled internet we have today and then come on here and pine for more censorship. Just nothing short of baffling to me.

Yup, it's differing opinions that some don't like.  I've seen this place worse off in the past and it was when the site was a group think, where differing views were squelched.  There is a lot of complaining here, always has been and always will be, but a least people can have differing opinions without getting shamed or banned.

We didn't score a touchdown and we are going to finish with the worst record with no 1st round pick.  I can see why a lot of people don't care all that much that we won.

Actually most of the hate has been directed upon the players who helped with the game winning drive. Chuba was spectacular today. Mingo and Chark both had clutch grabs and they've been trashed left and right here. But I haven't seen the same level of hand wringing to defend them. And we didn’t trade a first overall and a top ten player at a position of need for them. The whole offense played better today. But at the end of the day the whole offense goes as the QB goes. Bryce was dialed in on that final drive. Hopefully we see more of that going forward.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
