This season is going to suck! Seriously though I wish we had a hard knocks or all or nothing show to watch weekly to see the poo show behind the scenes. Or a rat leaking to the media instead of directly to Tepper

You know, I don't think I even want to see behind the scenes. Show me on the field. No amount of intrigue behind the scenes is going to matter to me.

Not to mention, we aren't going to be interesting to a national audience. We have no star players that any casual fan would even know. If you asked most casual NFL fans, they probably couldn't name anyone but Bryce.

Oh, I am gonna still watch. NFL Sunday is a tradition I plan to keep. 

It’s a family thing for us. Games on every weekend and then a big family dinner. Daughter and son in law, my brother and his wife, mom, aunts and uncles, all are welcome. 

Door is open, games on, and I’m always making enough for everyone.

From conversations I've had, there's a lot of women folk that would watch just for Canales.

That's going to account for about a baker's dozen nationwide.

He isn't bringing Taylor Swift numbers nor, sadly, are those shows bringing many female viewers in general. Substantially less than regular games will.

I am not pining for any sort of publicity that isn't from the field, good or bad. Tepper has definitely cured me of any of those notions.

IDK, people love a trainwreck. If it's as bad as it's been, yes in a new fun way, then people would watch that. It would be terrible for the NFL IMO. Just selling negatives is terrible for them if they are trying to hype up the season. At least the Bears have hope, even if the cameras and a rookie QB is a giant distraction when trying to get that guy NFL ready. 

Even with the first pick last year there wasn't much interest in the team nationally beyond the pick itself.

I mean, I can't be excited with Bryce as the QB until he consistently shows something. I'll just wait and see. There's no cautious optimism, or any type of optimism, and that's really foreign for me this time of year as pertaining to the Panthers.

We're getting little to no attention on the national scene. We're not hearing an awful lot of juicy news from the local guys. We've got no big name announcements or the drama that comes with them.

Our off-season is pretty much a team stuck on a deserted island.

No one really cares about us or considers us much more than #32 out of 32.

I'm cool with that.

We've been those cats before. And then we were our best.

I am excited! New coaching staff that has a plan and vision and finally the whole team/front office seems to be moving in lockstep. We got 2 new WRs. One in XL a rookie who looks like a beast and the other in DJ who is an absolute weapon. Excited to see Brooks and Sanders ( TE ). We got some Oline help finally. Excited to see if BY9 is the guy ( I think so, but we'll see ). Defense gets a 2nd year and hopefully some help from offense and I believe Evero can coach them to be VERY good this year. ST should be interesting because kick offs are completley new.

 

I was just thinking the other day I can't wait for preseason to start. Always signals the start of actual football for me. 

Why do you think Bryce is the guy after one of the worst overall 1st overall pick’s rookie years in nfl history?

They cancelled JR big time.

Until I see the actual accurate account of the racist slur part of the ‘case’, I am not judging him on it. People lose their temper and say poo sometimes because they want to hurt the other person and can’t come up with a reasonable insult. That is why people call people names, as far as I can understand. 

It happens. People get pissed and say stupid things they wish they hadn’t. That is a fact. I would like the real details before I go into judgement mode. 

When I was young and pretty I worked an assembly job at a GE TV plant for about 6 months. My line supervisor was gay and he didn’t ever touch me with his hands but man oh man he harassed the hell out of me. (You can’t move on an assembly line, but you supervisor can). I needed the job so I dealt with it. It sucks, but you know he never got any satisfaction and I didn’t sue him or GE. I put up with his poo for the paycheck. I left when I could, end of story. No boo hoo and boycotts and lawsuits.

Some of these people who get these settlements, I wonder really, how bad was it that you couldn’t endure it for that probably pretty good paycheck. 

So I am one who thinks on balance, what I know *for a fact* about JR doesn’t make him a bad enough guy to be forced to sell the team he started. ( edit: I really am fine with condemnation, but need facts before I go there).

Something tells me Tepper was afoot in that poo.

The fact that Smitty TD and all of our other black players love JR, it was probably another made up cancel culture BS to go along with the times.

Because anyway you slice it, he was going top 3. So no matter what the huddle brain trust tells you, he was deemed to have the talents to succeed in the NFL. We then gave him a terrible roster combined with a coaching staff in over their heads. So, here we are with a staff with a plan and the ability to work to maximize Bryce. I also like to root for Panthers players, especially when they are great people. It kinda goes with the fandom thing.

Okay, I'm sure if it was your daughter or wife he was harrasing you'd be completley fine with it. They probably just making it up anyways right?

Ever since Tepper bought the team we have been hyped as "play-off bound" by somebody, Starting with RR/MH [95%MH], then MR/MH, then MR/SF, then the super-max hype from FR/SF. Tepper is guilty of falling for it along with a lot of Huddlers [even those that will never admit it] We are hardly the first team to have both a bad HC & GM. When we get to 10-20 years of such then we'll fit in with the worst. As far as next season goes: I am looking for improved play pointing to long term success. If Bryce proves what I think wrong & turns into a NFL QB great. But right now I'm looking at the other players proving themselves for 2025 & 2026 & beyond.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
