Lucas loves attention but doesn't want attention. He drove a Rolls Royce Bentley and wondered why Charlotte's pedestrians and drivers would stare in the windows to see who was inside. Tired of the scrutiny, he dumped the Rolls and began driving more pedestrian vehicles -- a Maserati and an orange Range Rover. Hey, he practically disappeared.
huh?

LOOK AT MEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAAHHHHHHH!!!!!EVERYONE"S LOOKING AT ME!!!!!!!

schizo attention *****.

If he genuinely thinks fans have that much influence, then why is Jake still here? Why did it take so long for Matt Moore to start over David Carr last year? Or Williams over Foster?

I don’t disagree with him about Lucas being a decent player, and I agree that our pass rush made him look worse than he is, but to say that the fans are responsible for Lucas’ departure is ridiculous.

I would hope that the Panthers aren't making football decision based on the fans response.

The Panthers listen to the fans less than any other team in the league. It took them over a decade to get some form of the Panther logo on the field. I doubt they listen to us when it comes to personnel.

Try being an Eagles fan.

A Rolls Royce Bentley?? I didn't know those two companies teamed up to make a car...

Sorenson is a moron and to make the assumption that a team releases a player because the fans want them to is ridiculous. He needs to get his finger out of his a** and do some real reporting on the Panthers.

John Fox needed something or someone to pin the blame on for his horrific defense and schemes the 2nd half of the season. The fans jumped on Lucas and the Panthers responded by firing and thus appearing to be "correcting" part of the problem. Lucas wasn't a problem w/ what occured on defense. No pass rush, lame zone scheme and Godfrey being lost.....made Lucas an easy scapegoat. Fox deserves the blame for putting people in a position to fail. He ran his same tired defense that didn't have the front four to make it successful.

If we don't bring in a decent vet at CB....we will definately be weaker in talent in comparison to last season. If we do indeed lose Peppers in a trade for draft picks only......it will be hard to watch the Panthers on defense next season. Fox has proven to only want to rely on his front four and his occasional blitz schemes also have appeared very obvious and unproductive overall the past few seasons. For a defensive guru, Fox has proven to lack a great defensive mind in Carolina. His defensive scheme is very similar to his ground game......he runs the same crap regardless of who he has on the field. That isn't great coaching. That is a coach who finds success only when he has the right pieces for his 1 and only plan.

CRA,

So if Ken Lucas were in another system he'd be Deion Sanders? Blaming one player is sometimes overly simplistic, but I'm sorry, Ken Lucas was making too much money and wasn't producing enough to justify that contract.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
