I have some optimism. There's a difference between being somewhat optimistic and wanting to jump head first into an all-PFF analytics department after two decent light contact practices.

I mean, it could be just me, but I feel we are at hype levels we haven't seen in a LONG time.  Now, whether it is warranted or not, remains to be seen, but I am not the least bit upset that they are sprinting down the current highway.

I haven't been this optimistic about our roster in a long time.  We have some of the best position groups we have had in a few areas.  We only have one glaring weakness in my mind.  (LB)

When was the last time we could say that?  Our WR room is so talented we don't know who is making the roster.  Our offensive line is essentially fixed.  A few years ago, we would have sold our souls just to say that about the line.

"Hype levels" ultimately lean nothing and I honestly think that a lot of the perceived "hype" is largely confirmation bias because when you look most analysts, most still have us near the bottom the league in terms of overall roster strength and expectations on the field this season.

It is the time of year for hopium, and I embrace it.  I get that.  I am biased.  I feel I should be.

But you know they don't actually pay attention to us.  They aren't going to change their opinion of us no matter how much we "win" the off-season until we show it on the field, and I get that angle too.  Not like it benefits them to be high on a small market team like us.

I am a fan, and I am here to ROOT.

Yeah, I would caution most Panther fans to ultimately realize that this team is still a very safe bet to be a top 10 draft pick in 2026. 

What we want to see is roster progression. Actually starting to win is a longer term goal. Welcome if it comes early, to be sure, but definitely not expected.

I don't mind going all-in, because people are already noticing a difference from just two practices (and that's without DB).

They call that premature. Like waiting for results and then using analytics on that process to improve it would be a bad thing. If PFF was infallible then their grades wouldn't be so debatable at times.

Looks like similar to other NFL teams and sports media that the Panthers are leaning in to PFF. Like basic statistics, their grades might not be the end all be all but there is a LOT more information available through them then just their grades.

I once doubted their "arbitrary grading" (my own words here on the Huddle yeeeaaars ago) but looking at all of the data (AND watching film to try and see what they were seeing) they have it became obvious I was missing out by not considering them.

At the very least, PFF metrics and grades hold a lot more weight in Panthers-related debate going forward as the team continues to hire former PFF guys.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
