Dan Morgan: What are you up to, man? You don't sound too excited. Princely Umanmielen: Why y'all take so long, man?. Dave Canales: Princely! Let's go, man!. Princely: I'mma have to break y'all pockets in like 3-4 years. Princely is a real one.

Cam Newton interviewing CJ Stroud was so wholesome, arguing who had a better rookie season. Cam: I don't know nobody who really had a better rookie campaign than you. CJ: I'd say you be up there, let's have that convo. Cam: Yeah, but we ain't make it to playoffs, you won

Mike Renner gave the #Panthers a C for drafting Xavier Legette. CJ Stroud immediately disagreed. "You don't get WRs to all be the same. DK always had Tyler Lockett. AJ Brown has Devonta Smith. they work off each other. He's high on my board because we run the Niners system."

Daniel Jeremiah accidentally leaked that Bryce Young scored highest in class on the S2 Cognition test. S2 measures how quickly athletes process information. Brock Purdy had the high score last year. Notable elite scorers: Justin Fields, Joe Burrow, Drew Brees, and Josh Allen.

As a rule of thumb:. When a play looks bad, question the player. When multiple plays look bad, question the coordinator. When multiple phases look bad, question the head coach. When multiple games look bad, question the GM. When multiple seasons look bad, question the owner.

If I were Bryce Young, I would ask the #Panthers to trade me. Not because of the benching or poor play, but because Carolina's toxic environment hasn't supported and developed any QB in the last 5 years.

Greg Olsen with GREAT advice for the #Panthers: . "I don’t think you need to panic and go pay $25M to whoever the top free-agent WR just to check that box. I don’t think they’re one player away. I think it’s gonna be roster depth, great drafting, signing the right free agents."

Matthew Stafford didn’t want to come Carolina. Haason Reddick came to Carolina but went home instead. Deshaun Watson was pursued for a year by Carolina but likely goes to Atlanta instead. My disappointment isn’t DW. It’s that it feels like no legit guys want to be a Panther.
