It's not a prediction when we have data to back it up

Of course, we will be labelled the ones who started it again.

me, when Bryce shows out this year and proves the haters wrong

Which will get overlooked.

I'd love to see XL get some reps.  Sounds like he is almost 100%.  I wonder if we hold Dalton out to keep him healthy in preseason game 2.  After seeing Plummer they might realize how important Dalton is to this roster.

I'm in the same boat. Part of me thinks that it'll really depend on what work, if any he gets vs. the Jets.

I am so much more excited for the TE room than I have been in previous seasons. Tremble finally getting a chance to start, Sanders ascending, and the veteran presence of Matthews will be helpful if we run a significant amount out of 12 personnel.

To be fair, even a mediocre TE corps will be a huge step up from what the Panthers have had in years.

Where was this energy the last several practice threads when the roles were reversed? 👀

Talking about gaslighting oneself.... if you did not close your eyes to it, you could see that here are examples of that all over this board. Just because it went the other way doesn’t negate those examples. 

Another one of that crew, did it in a camp day thread I think last week. I let it go but when you people start telling us what opinion we can express about a football on the Panthers, you are suppressing thought. And seriously pissing people off. I do not want grabber’s thoughts suppressed, or anybody’s. Let him spread his own seed and people can choose to agree or not. 

here is the other post I specifically remember just a few days back, and up to that point in the thread, no mention at all of Young, much less QB bashing or hating, so gaslight away

Or, for some on this board:

 

  • Thursday, August 1st (6:30pm) - Bryce Young doesn’t throw the ball far enough
  • Saturday, August 3 (11:10am) - Bryce Young doesn’t throw the ball far enough
  • Sunday, August 4 (9:30am) - Bryce Young doesn’t throw the ball far enough
  • Monday, August 5 (9:30am) - Bryce Young doesn’t throw the ball far enough
  • Tuesday, August 6 (9:30am) - Bryce Young doesn’t throw the ball far enough
  • Thursday, August 8 (7:00pm) - PRESEASON WEEK ONE: Bryce Young doesn’t throw the ball far enough
  • Saturday, August 10 (11:10am) - Bryce Young doesn’t throw the ball far enough

Etc.

 

I am not spending any more time hunting this stuff but will ask other Bryce critics to chime in: I am not making this up am I? 

And finally, the thread about hating Bryce. Who made that one? Getting on people for saying critical Bryce stuff. I think I only posted to defend people who had been in there saying critical things, but I knew that was also directed at me. Not cool. Cant take the heat, get him to be better and stop making excuses for him.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
