Just pull up the video of last year's. It'll probably say mostly the same stuff.

they didnt have the #1 pick last year... and the 'new' panthers so far this year seem to be more open to the media (though, thats still not saying much)

hoping for something big, expecting nothing

I know Jay Glazer and Lombardi recommended that if they were serious about Newton..they should announce something tuesday..to get the organization and the fans used to the idea..not that this would happen..just saying lol

the thing is they are still hoping someone calls.

i personally wouldn't mind them announcing it but that's not the Panthers style. Just won't happen.

I think they were just thinking paralysis by over analysis..that they might over think this thing if they wait til the last second to make up their mind.

I'm not expecting anything to be announced. I am just wondering if we had a press conference last year the week of the draft and what was said?

well they've talked more then they have in 10 years so they might of but probably didn't matter as much as when they have the first pick..

If they really are running a smokescreen, maybe they see this as the last chance to try to sell other teams on them taking Newton.

Following this line of thought, the reason they have run the Newton smokescreen is because they decided early on that he was the player other teams would be most likely to trade up for.

In any case, it will be a fun week for fans.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
