One Fan's Opinion

Send us Fan Mail Finally living back in the U. S. and watching my favorite teams on-time, as intended. The Carolina Tarheels seem to be growing and putting together a competitive team. The Panthers however, seem to still be searching for an identity.  My opinion of this weekend's games and where these teams sit.  I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions here: X: @uncnavy03 Insta: http...

Send us Fan Mail Back in May, the Carolina Panthers moved up from 90 to 80 to select DJ Johnson, EDGE from Oregon. He was supposedly high on Carolina's board, prompting the front office to spend two picks on the fast, fiery, but raw prospect. But in the last two weeks the Panthers have added two veteran, Pro-Bowl caliber LBs to supplement their edge rush while Johnson has had a pretty quiet t...

Send us Fan Mail Minnesota may be in the market to trade stand out DE Daniele Hunter.  Hunter has recorded double-digit sacks in 4 of his 6 full seasons, (6 in a shortened, 7-game 2021) is a 3-time Pro Bowler and would be coming from a 3-4 defensiv  scheme. During that time, he's put up more than Gross-Matos and Haynes combined. Should the Panthers pursue him? And at what cost? I'm no ex...

Send us Fan Mail Bryce Young vs CJ Stroud, vs AR15, vs Dereck Carr. A lot of people are asking what will be Young's biggest matchup this year - why are they framing it in terms of QB vs QB?! Young doesn't have to worry about opposing QBs, it's the defenses that matter! A quick look today at some of the top players Young will actually matchup against from our divisional opponents&apo...

Send us Fan Mail Today I offer my opinion of the Carolina Panthers 2023 draft. There were a couple of great grabs, some that I would have done differently, and one that was definitely a complete head scratcher.

Send us Fan Mail The pick is in - almost! It's draft day and everything is pointing to Bryce Young being the #1 pick for the Carolina Panthers. But who do I have in my final mock? And what happens after Day 1? Carolina has a looming gap between picks 39 and 93. How should they deal with that? And who do they target after QB? EDGE? WR? TE? I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions here:...

Send us Fan Mail I'm still on the CJ Stroud bandwagon (and may be the only one left), but should Carolina draft Anthony Richardson with the #1 overall pick instead? If athletic profile and dynamic playmaker abilities are part of the reason Bryce Young is being considered over CJ Stroud, why not go all-in on Anthony Richardson? I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions here: X: @uncnavy...

Send us Fan Mail After selecting CJ Stroud with the #1 pick (IMO), what do the Panthers do next? What position groups should they target on Day 2? What should they do about the looming gap between 39 and 93?? On today's episode I offer my opinion on the options and strategie  available to the Panthers for the remainder of the draft.  I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions here: X: @...

Send us Fan Mail Who do the Panthers pick at #1? Bryce Young clearly is a dude, but can his frame sustain the abuse of a full NFL season for years to come? CJ Stroud is an impeccable passer, but does he lack the athleticism that is starting to set more and more quarterbacks apart? Anthony Richardson has all the athletic traits a head coach could desire, but can he process at the necessary level to...
