[Tryamw]

This weekend for anyone excited about Carolina Panthers football

 

[MustardStew]

Mercy! Mercy! Change the game!

So, went out to an estate cleanout (everything was free, so not an estate sale), came back in time for the blocked punt, now I have to just see how far this goes, right?

I thought they'd be at least a little better this year. Boy howdy was that wrong.

 

[Tryamw]

Haener in can we give up another 7?
Nope...
Dalton in... Why? Bryce needs the reps

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

REPS WON'T HELP.

Maybe but they can't hurt

This franchise is still years away from playing meaningful football.

Come on now the other teams need the W's. And they may have meaning

I didn’t watch the game, but seeing two separate instances of the Panthers taking out their own players on my Twitter timeline makes me want to start doing so. This seems hilarious as someone who is not at all invested.

Soo how long until the Canes season starts again?

 

[CandyCanes]

True story. My high school football team was so bad that our kickoff & first drive chant was “We’re not losing! *clap clap clap* We’re not losing! *clap clap clap*”. I think we had something like a 32 game losing streak? Our football team finally snapped the losing streak my senior year against a team that had lost 16 in a row. Us students stormed the field like we had won the championship. Was incredible.

We may need to break out that chant at Panthers games.

Not soon enough

Inept owner being hellbent on getting “his” QB and spending inane number of picks just to move 8 spots while having no fu^king O-line will do that to you.

Holy f***ing shit

 

[HisIceness]

Matt Rhule winning 11 games under this owner honestly is an accomplishment at this point.

Dalton in... Why? Bryce needs the reps

I don't care how many reps he gets. Bryce Young is not now and never will be an NFL quarterback. I'd love to be proven wrong, but he has yet to look comfortable even making simple throws, making reads, and doing any of that at pace. His arm is weak, he's small, and he's not particularly fast.

Pro tip: Don't draft Alabama quarterbacks, at least from the Nick Saban era. They had the best offensive line talent, the best wide receiver corps, and a running game that took the pressure off of the quarterback.

But as I said, what I saw yesterday looked like a regression from Young. If I was the coach, I'd tell him his next game is an audition for the starting job going forward. Or just bench him and make him watch from the sidelines. Demote him to the practice squad and bring Plummer up to back up Dalton. Add to this that we haven't had a running game since I can remember. It is just so sad....and Tepper wants Charlotte to pony up for a new stadium. f*** him and his ego with a rusty tire iron.

TRUE: Greg McElroy (2011), A.J. McCarron (2014), Mac Jones (2021), Bryce Young (2023)

FALSE: Tua Tagovailoa (2020), Jalen Hurts (2020)

(Ok, Hurts finished at Oklahoma, but spent three years at Bama.)

So two up and four down. That's probably a pretty good ratio, actually. (Also, why do I feel like I'm channeling BBA here?)

 

[HisIceness]

Doesn't translate for everyone but among the reasons guys like Brees, Rivers, Mahomes find success in the NFL is because they didn't have 5 star O-lines/WRs.

Like I imagine when Mahomes first played, he probably was like "oh yeah, this is much better than Texas Tech, I can work with this".

 

[Panthaz89]

The only real question for the Panthers is will they be the first team to go 0-17 I'm guessing one team falls asleep and we get a win or tie at some point.
