Had a great time at the Panthers draft party

Just got back from the Panthers draft party, had a GREAT time... highlight of the evening was getting a chance to meet coach Rivera! I think I was the first Panthers fan to officially congratulate coach on selecting Cam, I happened to be walking through the tunnel when he, Hurney and others came out of the war room after making the pick. Rivera is a bigger man than I expected and he has huge, powerful hands... I'm a big guy and my hand was lost in his. As they were walking out I said: "congrats coach" and he walked over to the railing that was separating him from the fans walking through the tunnel to shake my hand.

On top of that, I got to tour the Panthers lockeroom... including reaching up and tapping the "PANTHERS PRIDE" sign as you walk out towards the field and then walk out onto the field through the same entrance the players use, with one of those inflatable Panthers head things. Stood on the 20 yard line in the middle of the field and watched him announce our pick on the jumbotron, the reaction to Cam was totally positive in the stadium, a very loud cheer went up when they announced the selection.

Dang you got to go down on the field? Now I wish I would've gone.

Yup, it was crazy to go through the Panthers locker room... come out the tunnel they come out of... and then stand there on the 20 yard line while they announced Cam was our #1 overall pick.

I'll always remember where I was when we drafted Cam Newton.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
