I can’t prove that I’m right, but I know plenty of powerful people in football who share this opinion – and. like me, they probably hate to see the Panthers rewarded with the No. 1 overall pick.

Stopped reading at that point

Maybe the National media really do hate us :lol:

"By doing neither, Richardson put the Panthers in obvious lame-duck mode, something which typically results in disaster in a league in which players are asked to summon a pronounced degree of emotional commitment. From Bill Cowher’s final year in Pittsburgh to Marvin Lewis’ lost 2010 season in Cincinnati, this type of arrangement tends to suck the life out of an organization and engender a going-through-the-motions vibe."

Exactly. But they got paaaiiiidd riight???

Please dear god let Beason, Dwill know how to forgive.

Something he is wrong about, these players for sure deserve the #1 pick. Who cares about JR.

His whole argument revolves around 3 points: we didn't replace Peppers, we didn't buy Fox out/fire him and Richardson is spearheading the labor dispute.

1. Charles Johnson is apparently invisible.

2. It's easy to say "eat 6 million dollars you cheap bastard" when you're not actually the one paying for anything. Fans who buy tickets can complain here, not a blogger from Yahoo who has probably never seen more than 10 minutes of highlights from a Panthers game in his life.

3. This is the only point that has some merit. Still, this doesn't mean he tanked anything, it means he's a businessman who disagrees with a labor union. There's a shocker.

I guess it's more fun to villainize the owner here, but maybe he really thought Fox, who's never had a record with less than 7 wins, would make this season a little more competitive, rather than sulking through half of it.

The writer can be proven right simply by fact it took last year to get a Panthers logo on the BofA field. He cares more for the NFL as an organization than he does the Panthers as a team.

Does the writer have a chip on his shoulders? Yep. Do a lot of fans? Yep, and the stupid-ass apology JR gave to the fans was an admission of guilt.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
