"That's what motivates you to work hard," Wharton said. "At the end of the day, when you look at your fingers and you see that you don't have a ring and (remember) the way we ended it, that motivates you to continue to work and know that you haven't made it yet."

There were a lot of fans that didn't think the Panthers should have re-signed Wharton...based on this and his play last season I am so glad they did. This is exactly what I want to see out of the players on the team.

i don't remember specifically but i do know that i was happy with anything that they did to improve and solidify the Oline. considering at this point it was looking like he was going to be a tackle again (iirc), the money wasn't too far off.

i don't think i was ever thrilled with him playing OT, though, and i can't remember how much experience he had at OG prior to being here but i was hoping for a better and bigger OT.

i just can't remember exactly what i thought...doesn't matter, though. i like the oline we have.

the sentiments of that quote, though, are going to be reverberated throughout the whole team for all of the offseason. last year was the confident swagger. this year will be the sense that they have to make it right.

The first two words that went through my head when I heard the terms of his deal were "guard money". Once they franchised Gross, it seemed logical that a Gross-Wharton left side was what they had in mind since teams rarely franchise right tackles.

With that in mind, I was surprised to find people lamenting the signing. I think some of it was because people looked at the money and thought "left tackle" again, but that of course wasn't true. Gross' current contract is what LT money looks like.

For me, I'm just glad we're keeping some ugly people around. The best teams tend to be built from the foundations out, and it's nice to see us finally following that model.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
