Kitty Lit Zeo: A Carolina Panthers Podcast

All media makes more money by preying on our emotions. Even if our reactions come from a good place... they're usually still manipulations of a media source.   Let's choose to think and be kind. Let's talk through this logically instead of just reacting and assuming we're right.  

I explain why the Clowney move happened when it did and which numbers are telling me more signings are in the Carolina Panther's future.

It's easy to see why the analysts don't see the Carolina Panthers as a division contender. It's up to us to look past the numbers and see why this team could be special.

The Carolina Panthers could've easily been a .500 team even with their awful injury luck. With the talent and depth they've added in the offseason the fanbase should stop putting a ceiling on this team. If they stay healthy they could be a force in 2025.

I go through the last six years of 1st and 2nd round WRs to not hit 500 receiving yards and show that every other team continued to add talent even if they liked the WR they drafted. The Carolina Panthers were smart to do the same.

Behind every great man there's a great... man? Brandt's role in the organization is so complicated that it's hard to see how incredible he is at his job. I try to simplify why he has been as amazing as Dan. I believe that together they can accomplish great things for the Carolina Panthers franchise.

I go through six Dan Morgan interviews and point out the clues that we could've taken to accurately predict what positions the Carolina Panthers were taking in the NFL draft.

We as fans continue to let the national media narratives replace our own independent thought. We are constantly surprised by logical results because we let the "expert's" divisive rendering replace our own independent thought. It's time to acknowledge this and change for the better as people and fans.

The Carolina Panthers finally have a front office that can compete with the best franchises in the NFL. I tell you why.

OPM joins the show to talk about the current state of the Carolina Panthers and how they're perceived on Social Media!

Using what we know I found my top 3 most likely candidates to be WR1 in Carolina for 2025. Number 1 was obvious. Number 2 and 3 may come as a surprise.

I explain why not getting DK could be a good thing for the Carolina Panthers.

Alex discusses reports of Panthers' interest in DK Metcalf and Trey Hendrickson.

In 2020 Marty Hurney decided to end the 2015 Super Bowl core for good. The biggest problem with that is is added millions in dead cap. The only plan I saw from Hurney was survival.

Ant joins the show and helps explain why every move the Panthers have made since Rhule's firing was made for 2025.

Fans look at cap the wrong way. I give a quick lesson that should change your perspective.

Compiled data from top 8 picked players over the last 14 years excluding 2024. 50% of the Edges and WRs drafted in the top 8 go to the playoffs within 2 years. 0% of CB, S, or TE drafted in the top 8 go to the playoffs within 2 years. The Carolina Panthers have to go Edge or WR with the number 8 pick!

I give 23 examples of current NFL QBs that got top skills players year 3. Panthers should follow this trend and get Bryce top tier talent! Also, Commanders show us defense can be fully solved in free agency.

I use historical data, PFF draft needs and Daniel Jeremiah's big board to create a mock draft where my independent biases are irrelevant!

I've been preaching how important interior defensive lineman are for weeks but it's important not to over correct. Before Carter and Davis were drafted the Eagles prioritized WR. They had to know Hurts was their franchise QB in year 3 before building a championship team. Panthers need to do the same with Bryce. Panthers should want to be the 2022 Eagles instead of skipping ahead to the present Eag...

WR and Edge both have a first round bust rate of 24% II dig deeper and explain what I would do with this information Note: Edge 1st Round Elite Hit Rate is 32%, It wasn't mentioned until later Note: I misspoke and said Nabers instead of Harrison Jr when discussing WR in the 2nd part of the show

Fans and media have created untruths about Bryce's benching because it's the Disney comeback story we all want to tell ourselves. When stories are too good to be true they usually are. So I went back and researched the first two weeks of the Carolina Panthers' season and came up with a different conclusion based on facts.

A year ago I was all in on big 2025 offseason for the Caroling Panthers. Fitterer's contracts all ended after 2024. Morgan has added an extra 60 million in dead cap in 2025 which I found odd. Other franchises surround their QB with talent in year 3. So why was Morgan setting up for 2027?

Draft Crush's Edgar Salmingo joins the show to talk all things Carolina Panthers!

Draft trend lines, free agency availability and cap allocation show that wide receiver should be the 8th pick with edge rusher being a close second option. I go through it step by step in this episode.
