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.

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.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      If you look at our depth chart, this has to be at the top of the primary needs list. Outside of a true rangy FS that balances Moehrig, I don't see any other "immediate" needs for 2026.  Beyond this year, figuring out C, OT, TE1 and WR3 and probably CB2 (are we going to pay Jaycee and Mike Jack?) are on my radar.  My list at 19 (in no order) : Freeling Thieneman McNeil-Warren McDonald Miller  Sadiq   I think CB is also low key going to be a selection earlier than anticipated...Chris Johnson on day 2 fits what we're looking for, IMO and he balled out at the combine. The salaries we just took on and BY9 coming up, I struggle to believe Mike Jack is a Panther next year.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Walker is a 1 year signing. Stone is a 1 year. BC is coming back from an Achilles injury. Typically takes 2 years to get back to full health, but he's also better inside than at tackle. Yosh retired. Moton will have 1 year remaining on his contract and he's already admitted knee issues. That's banking on a whole lot of nothing at the end of this upcoming season.  As far as challenging Bryce, a challenge can come from any round. It's about finding the right QB with the physical and mental talent that fits the system. Wilson, Dak, Purdy, Brady. Just a few examples of non 1st round QBs that were able to challenge the starters.  Another QB doesn't necessarily have to beat out Bryce, but we should be looking for another starting caliber QB. It's not like Bryce has set the bar so high it's unattainable. The bar is low. The goal is playoffs. Do we throw away a season if Bryce gets hurt, because KP is taking us nowhere. Dan has made some great signings this FA period, I give him that. But replacing Dalton with KP is not aggressively improving our QB room. It's at best a lateral move. This is all about getting better. But this is yet another move that makes it even less conspiracy theory, and more reality, that Bryce is being protected from any real adversity in our QB room.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Oh I think it will be. My point was that we need to be trying to get better in the QB room. KP doesn't do that. He's not going to be a long term plan with a 1 year contract. He's just insurance.  This "should" be a make or break year for Bryce. Either He's a guy worthy of an extension or not. Bringing in a rookie number 2 with potential may net us nothing, or it could get us something. The one thing we can be certain of is KP gets us nothing and that's not a good position to be in.  I don't want to go into next year with no number 2, Bryce not having developed I to a real QB1, and sitting at 12 or 15 needing to move up to take a QB in the draft just like we did for Bryce. It's not an outcome I see going well for us.
