I watched the whole thing and it was overall very encouraging.

The trio of Morgan/Tilis/Canales has me feeling optimistic for the future. Now we need to see this on the field.

As for Tepper. I don't mind him being in the draft room and giving basic input. Anything beyond that should and will ilicit criticism. Just be an owner and let the football people make the decisions when the time comes. And that's what he did so I have no complaints.

I will say as far as the draft and FA we seem to have put a higher emphasis on seeking additions with the right mentality and high character. They're trying to instill a culture. I have no idea if it will work but at least they are making it a priority. That's all I can ask for at this juncture.

one thing that was interesting was how they were using Tepper.

They had Eric Eager doing analytics on mocks he was running to see who might be available later and then he was relaying to them the odds of so and so being there later and then they would look at Tepper and ask wat he thinks of those odds and even then it was kind of "we're already making up our mind about this, but are you in the boat with us?"

so any involvement tepper had in the discussion was limited and kind of just a courtesy. that's just my perception anyways. i could be completely wrong. wouldn't be the first time.

I like the Teppers involvement sorry. Rather have an engaged owner and then someone falling asleep in his box seat. And I think this idea that's he's been overruling the coaches have been overblown, he's just been really bad at hiring them. Canales is his attempt at course correction by making it Dan's choice.

The "football guys" are still picked by the owner at the end of the day, there's no way around that so I'd rather the guy be into it. 

 

Meddling dumb owners is the classic way to ruin a franchise. Ask the Redskins.

Happy Mental Health GIF by VeeFriends

This seems to be the new Panthers and I like the vibes I'm getting from the entire organization right now. 

this off-season, we were the happiest 5-12 fanbase in the league

where other similar teams were drowning in their tears, we ended the season with hope and a seemingly upwards trajectory

I like these panthers versions of hard knocks. They do their duty of getting me pumped up for the season. 

Is it a fluff piece? Absolutely 

Will the panthers be good this year? Who knows. 

Are these worthwhile and entertaining watches? No doubt. 

Can I wait for the season to start? Nope

I wonder if the value in theory of those picks next year go up in value simply because of the qb influx that will be in the draft? I just hope this isnt another burns situation.

My personal read is 2026 draft is immensely more valued than this 2025. 

*But the deal is the NFL has never had this amount of decent-good-elite QBs. The QB group is the best its ever been, I believe mainly to rule changes and the NFL finally allowing QB friendly system/verbiage/plays into its league. 

In fact after the rams did a 180 and went all-in the 2026 draft, which I thought was brilliant given the constant Stafford retiring rumors. While 10 years of sucking awaits the falcons if Penx is a bust. Browns and rams both have two 1st to land a QB in a deep pool of talented players. 

I don't feel its a Burns deal.

May be nothing but was a little surprised to see Canales lack of interest/excitement when Morgan asked him about drafting Horn. 

I noticed that too.

The dynamic between Dan Morgan and Brand Tilis was really good and quite encouraging 

Basically a hard-nosed, no-nonsense player / coach type working with a colossal football nerd whose spreadsheets could probably tell you what a player's favorite breakfast cereal was at a gven age 😕

("my analysis shows that around age seven or so he started to prefer Cheerios; had a brief flirtation with Corn Flakes but it didn't stick")

I get the XL pick, and I get the Brooks pick in round 2

I hope our first two picks do better in year one than those two. I was surprised we prioritized a rb over s considering the Brooks pick and the rico fa agency pick up. I'm glad they were true to their board and got their guys. Could be a great draft.

      Taylor Moton gets emotional talking about what happens next year

      By BrianS · Posted

      If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By Basbear · Posted

      He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.

      I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
