Only three teams have put up 25+ points on the Kansas City Chiefs defense this season.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals
Josh Allen and the Bills
Bryce Young and the Panthers

Baker leaves the Panthers and becomes a solid QB
Darnold leaves the Panthers and looks solid so far
Joe Brady leaves the Panthers and is one of the better OCs in the league
etc etc etc
Make it make sense.

Not only is he the worst owner in the NFL, he is bordering on worst owner in sports. I have never seen a team go faster down the pipe than this.

In their last three games:
C.J. Stroud - 3 TDs, 5 INTs, avg rating of 73.5, 1-2
Bryce Young - 3 TDs, 1 INT, avg rating of 85.6, 2-1
The narrative is starting to flip with the talent gap narrowed on their respective rosters.

I have heard the same thing from multiple people with first hand witness to Panthers camp:
Jaycee Horn is by far the best player on this team, he is going to be very special. 🔥🔥🔥

Baker Mayfield's worst season playing through a season ending injury:
17 TD/13 INT, 83.1 QBR

So recently my long time fantasy football group (6 years running) found out I was transgender and promptly kicked me out of the league. Beyond being seriously saddened by this, I am finding myself in need of a new redraft league if anyone has any openings.

If Lamar did hit free agency, Carolina does have the cap room, the owner, and the offensive infrastructure to make it happen.

I cannot believe Matt Rhule had Terrace on the bench the whole time he was here. Insane.

I am not sure if it even needed to be said, Will Levis will NOT be picked by the Carolina Panthers. They are locked in on Bryce Young and he will be the pick on Thursday.

Baker would be the most talented QB Carolina has fielded since 18' Cam. He is far ahead of Teddy and Sam, and gives the Panthers the best shot at reaching the playoffs with a rebuilt o-line and top 10 defense. If you trot out Darnold week 1 you are admitting the season is a wash.

I feel like two Panthers will certainly be in the running for comeback player of the year next year.

Jaycee Horn, Jeremy Chinn, Donte Jackson, CJ Henderson, Keith Taylor, Xavier Woods. Carolina has the best secondary in the NFC South. Period.

I would expect one of these two things to happen today:
A. Baker Mayfield is traded to the Panthers
B. Carolina jumps up the board and nabs a QB

Jaycee Horn through the first three games of the season:
5 catches for 35 yards on 10 targets. 1 Interception. 🔒

The @HoustonTexans defense is going to be low key good this season. Combined with naturally improved QB play, I could see them hitting 6 wins under Lovie.

Carolina will be saving
2023: $19.6M
2024: $19.6M
This is huge given the cap situation heading into next year. They have shed two of their biggest anchors into getting under the cap

Shout out to the player that has carried this defense so far. I don't think it is a stretch to say he has been our best player so far.

If any of these guys are on the board at 8 the Carolina should be jumping for joy and turn in the card.
1. Abdul Carter
2. Mason Graham
3. Travis Hunter
4. Mykel Williams

If you would have told me that at 2-5, after just trading CMC, and with an interim head coach that the fan base and team's moral would be the highest it has all year, I probably wouldn't believe you.

Carolina has been outscored 257-96 on the season. I'm fairly certain that is a franchise record through the first seven weeks of the season.

Final guess:
Carolina sends -
2022 1st (6th overall)
2023 1st
2024 1st
2023 3rd
Brian Burns
Jeremy Chinn
Sam Darnold
Texans send:
Deshaun Watson
2022 4th round pick

Comparing the o-line that Caleb Williams has the year to the one Bryce Young had last year puts you in different zip codes. The Bears o-line is more middle of the road, Williams just refuses to get rid of the ball quickly. Young legitimately had instant pressure on most his snaps

Carolina is not going to play as poorly as they did in week one. It takes time for everything to gel and click. This defense is not what they showed last Sunday. Bryce Young is not what he showed last Sunday. This is a potential playoff team and one week does not define them.

$63 milllion guaranteed over 5 yrs with $26 million in a signing bonus. This looks a lot better than the "5 year 100 million dollar" face value. Good deal. Not really an overpay given he was the best IOL available.

Today was a big day for me. I have hid myself from my parents as being transgender for two years for fear of rejection and abandonment as they are very right wing and religious. I sent them a letter about my coming out. I am finally totally out and it is very freeing. ❤️

Not gonna lie, seeing all the hate for the transgender cheerleader for the Carolina Panthers is really disheartening. It's hard enough to exist in this space as is without constantly being reminded you are barely tolerated within your own community. I just want to enjoy football.

My pitch for being the next Carolina Panthers GM:
-I would not have traded for Sam Darnold
-I would have drafted Rashawn Slater and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah last year
Thank you.

At this point, I feel comfortable saying none of the other quarterbacks changed the minds of the Panthers front office and Bryce Young should be the heavy favorite to be the number one overall pick.
The consensus I have heard from multiple sources is that the Carolina Panthers moved up to number one to take Bryce Young.

Terron Armstead - Brady Christensen - Pat Elfein - Austin Corbett - Taylor Moton
That would be so cool. Best line Carolina would have in a long time.

Carolina needs to execute a trade either to the third overall pick or the first overall pick as soon as possible. They need to ensure they get one of the top three quarterbacks in this class. No more playing musical chairs at the position, pull the trigger.

Someone may be able to tag Freezing Cold Takes later but...I smell a blowout in Charlotte week one.
Carolina - 31
Cleveland - 10

I do think the snap counts show Matt Rhule's inexperience and lack of on the field talent evaluation. I cannot fathom how he has handled the QB and offensive line snap counts. You cannot make it make sense.

So confused with all the Donte Jackson discourse on Twitter. He got paid like a high end #2 corner, which is exactly what he is. Plus he still possesses a ton of upside, and is extremely important in our match ups against certain types of receivers. He is worth the money.

Low key the best running back room Carolina has had since double trouble.
How do we feel about blue jerseys with black pants? 🔵⚫️
Carolina is 1-2 in this uniform combo

What if I told you that is their exact plan?
Based on the available options, I think the combination of Ikem Ekwonu and Jimmy Garoppolo would give the #Panthers the best chance to win next season.

Jonathan Mingo has the ability and pedigree to be the Panther's very own AJ Brown. Nabbing him to grow with Bryce Young was a classic strategy that could pay off big.

I'm telling you, he's that guy. If you pass on him for Levis or some other QB not named Bryce Young he will make you regret it.

I do wonder if CJ Stroud would be more successful throwing a curl route to Raheem Blackshear in his own end zone with his offensive line falling in his lap. The situations aren't really comparable y'all. The play calling, weapons, and protections are in different universes.

There is a very notable difference between the Matt Rhule and the Frank Reich regime, in particular about leaks on who they are targeting. It has been impossible to get accurate information for anything they have done this offseason whereas everything Rhule did was in print somewhere.

If Carolina wants to win this weekend they need to let Sam throw the ball more. I know he is a volatile passer but you need to throw on Detroit to win.

I like Jake, but this idea that Sam will beat our Baker isn't living in reality. Can you imagine trotting Sam out against Baker's former team week 1? It doesn't make any sense.
Although Baker Mayfield is the early favorite in the Panthers’ QB competition, franchise great Jake Delhomme thinks Sam Darnold may have an edge at the moment. pantherswire.usatoday.com/20…

This could signal the return of either Gilmore or Jackson plus more aggression on the FA market. Lots of flexibility now.
Panthers have reworked Robby Anderson’s current deal, freeing up $5.8M+ in cap space. This was a conversion, moving $11.7M+ of his 2022 salary to signing bonus. Per @FieldYates.

Reich is not hired pitching "I will add a free agent quarterback" by the way. There is obviously going to be a plan to go get a game changer via trade or moving up the draft to get one of two guys.

If you want the next Patrick Mahomes/Josh Allen, why not draft the quarterback he ALREADY makes those plays and it appears constantly in his tape?

No matter who the team drafts, you should trust the evaluation process of our front office staff who puts hundreds of hours into the scouting portion, over twitter scouts like me who get limited tape and only 3-5 hours worth of film study on each prospect. Both players are good.
