Who said blow it up? I didn’t. I did however say Rod needs to rethink his philosophy and 2nd, let Koochie be our guy.  Also, get a damn 2nd line center. 

Let it play out. Chill.

There is no reason to be antsy. This is literally arguably the best period in franchise history. When/if we win a Cup, it would OVERWHELMINGLY be the best period in franchise history.

Take some notes from the other POS franchise we root for, stop and smell the roses a little. I wish I knew how good those good times were for the Panthers. I wish I had appreciated them more then.

Paul Maurice took 30+ years to get a cup....  bad example 

Strictly speaking of his tenure with Florida. Only took him two years. In those two years, two cup finals and 1 cup. In 6 years Rod has made zero.  Just talking current tenures.  I believe in my heart it’s his stubborn reluctantly to have kept at least the rotation going with Koochie and Freddie while also his man defense. The team just finds ways to fizzle out in the playoffs every year.

I appreciate the heck out of the last 6 years. But at some point it’s like damn guys, best talent ever and the same song and dance. We all want the Cup. Hopefully it comes but doing the same thing over and over getting the same result while hoping for a different one is insanity. Something has to give

He can be stubborn but it's belief in his guys. That poo is also why a lot of these guys love him. 

Look, his trajectory is great. We just need to tinker and stay the course.

We change things all the time. That same system of play that won FL a Cup....that is what we do, BTW

Piss off asshole.  If you don’t have anything good to say singling me out all the time then fug off.  

I think  you need to apply that same logic to your posting, squirt. 
 

I will be doing the game day threads this year to reverse your bad juju.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
