This might not be a big deal but it actually drives me nuts when we have our little Bobby Boucher "slap hands" moments going into the locker room. It feels fake as phuck. It feels like most of the leadership and corporate meetings I get on where people just spew slogans and absolute nonsense ad nauseum in the name of being positive. I don't know what's actually going on behind the scenes as far as instilling a culture goes, but the one we see publicly feels like a weak facade. Dave is like a youth pastor who sometimes calls great football plays.

Which side of the ball are the money and draft picks heavy on? How much does a former number 1 OVERALL need to score more than 17 points? Yet the damn defense is somehow supposed to be the Ravens of old and hold teams to under 17-20 points in the NFL. With what talent? The defense is playing above their talent level. Im not even an Evero defender but you BY9 huggers are so full of it its pitiful.

In case you didn't know, DC refers to Canales, not Evero.

Evero has done fine this year

Disagree, but it doesn't matter.

Evero's contract is up at season's end and I haven't seen anyone suggest the Panthers will bring him back. 

Evero has his weaknesses, but it's hard to tell how much of it is him when we have a comically bad pass rush.

Crazy enough, this is probably the most I have seen him blitz this year and I think it failed every single time. Usually our only chance at a sack is if DB beats the double team and gets interior pressure. Otherwise, the QB will have at least 5 seconds to throw the ball

You want to place all the blame on one guy because you don’t understand ball. Yeah we have money tied up in an offensive line that can’t pass block well, and wasn’t run blocking well yesterday.

2nd and 21 and Bryce threw the best pass this franchise has seen in easily 7 years for a touchdown

Still amazed he wasn't fired after last year.

Announcers questioned yesterday why Derrick Brown was backed off in pass coverage on an important down. Likewise, he had guys playing way too far off the line (past the first down sticks) all too often. 

Expect he's gone next year either way.

Most likely he will be gone. Another team that has more talent on defense will definitely hire him.

I get frustrated at a lot of Evero's playcalls also, but let's remember that we are rocking JAGs at like half the spots on our defense. The likes of Wharton, LaBryan Ray, Whitney Houston's ex-husband, whatever turd of the week ILB we have, etc. aren't going to be found on the rosters of the NFL defenses that people think are good...

When you refuse to draft defensive players in the first 2 rounds for practically 5 years straight while spending most of your free agent money on offense, this is the talent you are stuck with on defense

Is this persons opinion supposed to be gospel? The fever to defend mediocrity is astounding. 

Josh Norris is a well known lover of Bryce.   I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that he played "very well" yesterday.   Had 1 great throw and 2 scrambles.   Outside of that pretty meh.  That has to drive the coaches insane

      Panthers have a Jalen Coker problem.

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Jalen is the most productive receiver in the league per routes run. now obviously this is just routes run/total yards and the scheme can play havoc with this calculation but he’s in good company. Puca is number 2.  im not sure that x axis is relevant, but my god Metcalf is just getting mugged.     Per next gen stats Jalen reached the top speed in the playoffs. Newton’s first law of motion stays winning. Coker was also the best looking player on the field against the rams. To me he looks just like a young anquan boldin.  Coker made just over 830k in 2025. He is an Exclusive rights free agent in 2026. This means if the panthers tender him with a one year contract based on the league minimum, he has to play here or nowhere else. He’s not allowed (wink wink) to negotiate with other teams   In 2025 the ERFA was 1.03 million, or 3.1% what Joe person claims Bryce Young is worth annually. three years is the cutoff to become vested in the NFL pension, with higher benefits per year accrued after that. For those that have never heard of a pension, back in the day before boomers “two in the heart, one in the head’d” future generations, your job handled your retirement.  Three years of service also unlocks a whopping five years of health insurance; big deal for a player who still qualifies for his parents coverage. Great system, NFL. Roman gladiators were treated better. Electro, I just became a fan when Bryce got here and I can only name three people on the team. Why does this matter? NFL players don’t make money for very long. 40% never get a second contract. A season ending injury can happen at any moment, especially when your qb is a blimp commander who can’t see over the offensive line. Ickey was in line for a massive payday that he absolutely earned. He lost generational wealth (Chris rock joke here) with that patellar injury and who knows if he’ll ever play the same again. He’s certainly not going to get that new contract which is rough but it’s the way things go. Coker absolutely should not play another down for the Carolina panthers without a new contract. He just had a huge coming out on the national stage and has the numbers and tape to back it up. He's the best wide receiver on the team. Yes I know tet got (a very chintzy) thousand yards but Coker is pound for pound the better player. And that’s saying something because Jalen loves him some orange chicken. If he was a free agent this year he’d be the top WR on the market. Panthers have a lot of (honestly very easy) cap choices to make. For whatever reason they’ve already verbally committed to Bryce’s fifth year and are floating a three year extension. They’ve started hemorrhaging offensive linemen, soul of the team JJ Jansen will need his 1.4 million if he comes back, and of course you gotta lock down Leadership Council stalwart Christian Rozeboom. I would argue that instead of giving the worst qb in the league over the past three years another fuging dime you lock up and reward Jalen Coker. This shows the rest of the team that production is valued, regardless of draft position, and keeps Jalen in the building and team training program. Again, Jalen likes to eat. Will the panthers recognize this? I wish I could say the panthers head coach is good at evaluating wide receivers but….yeah. Also Canales let him clear waivers to begin with. Anyway Jalen should be the top contract priority fug Bryce fug Canales Hail Satan

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By Navy_football · Posted

      The padded practice restrictions have definitely impacted the game. 14 padded practices during the 18 weeks season and no more than one per week. That's crazy to me. But... As for Legette, he probably is in the best place possible to learn under those restrictions. But drills will only go so far. And it really isn't drills for him. It's knowing all the little intricancies of how to be a WR. That only comes from game experience, in my opinion. Being put in different situations at game speed. Hopefully he puts everything into this offseason. I'm cheering for him. This team needs him.

      It's because he's too dumb to know how to use either
