Mike and Mike picked Tampa over us Sunday. Greeny said he hopes everything is okay with MM health-wise, but said he was 'atrocious' against the Giants.

I know the majority of us have expressed out disinterest and dislike for almost all of ESPN's talking heads and national media in general, but I was slightly surprised for both of them to pick Tampa to win.

Undah da Raydhaar!

But seriously, I like when people pick us to lose because it seems like we always win when they do.

This will be a good game to watch or go to. Too bad I refuse to go to a game this year. 0-2 would be devastating and tickets will be free. The theory isn't that 2 games means the season, it's that with the unpredictability and all that has happened with the panthers there already was to begin with In other words a team not getting better in any area. So far CJ is only DL looking nice, added to a shitty secondary.

14% chance of making the playoffs after 0-2 historically. But worse would be losing to the Bucs who are in the bottom of the league.

We are now favored by 3.5 which was 1.5 before MM was confirmed as starter.

Exactly.

NO 2-0

TB 2-0

ATL 1-1

CAR 0-2

This could very realistically happen...in two days lol...

Usually that scenario would have me contemplating a game of Russian Roulette, but for some reason this year, I feel like I expect a win but if it doesn't happen I understand why lol.

Kind of like coaching the special olympics, if they make it to the finish line it's a bonus, if not, good effort.

So after factoring in the 3 point home field advantage the Panthers are basically a push against Tampa on Sunday. Yay.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.

      If hypothetically, Ickey comes fully healthy, would he be willing to give up left tackle money for left guard money? In the Panthers case, moving Ickey LG or RT would be in our best interest and as it gives us our best starting offensive lineman combination. However, Im sure there's another team that would be desperate and willing to dish out top dollars for Ickey to have him come play left tackle for them. In that case, Ickey would just leave for that team instead.
