One Fan's Opinion

Send us Fan Mail It's a late post, but that's what happens when you're getting back into things and trying a new platform. My take on what the Panthers should do going into the 2026 NFL draft. Free Agency set them up to be able to actually take the Best Player Available, but who will that be for them? I know I've got my opinions... I'm no expert, but you can find my opinio...

Send us Fan Mail  The Carolina Panthers are poised to open the 2025 season and take on the Jacksonville Jaguars September 7th! But first, a look back at an off-season that saw Dan Morgan and company rebuild a historically bad defense through free agency and the draft while still making moves to improve the offense. Was it enough though and will the Panthers finally rise from the cellar of the NFC...

Send us Fan Mail Recapping the Carolina Panthers' preseason kickoff against the Cleveland Browns at Bank of America Stadium. The 1st team offense showed what they needed to in their first game back, but how about the defense? Carolina had opportunities against the Browns, but didn't capitalize when they needed to. Is it time to panic already? Are we heading down the familiar road of disa...

Send us Fan Mail UNC did what they were supposed to do, at home, against UNC-Charlotte. The defense was aggressive, if undisciplined. The offense rotated almost all their players and put up enough points to keep the game out of reach for the 49ers. The Panthers on the other hand, had what most long-time fans would consider the single worse half of Panthers' football - ever. The defense allowe...

Send us Fan Mail After OTAs, Rookie Training Camp, Pre-season Training Camp, and a less-than-thrilling pre-season game against the New England Patriots, it's safe to say that the newest build of the Carolina Panthers is going to take awhile - and that's ok! It looks like Dan Morgan and staff are going to methodically, and purposefully, build a contender. How? Listen on to find out my opi...

Send us Fan Mail The 2024 Draft is over and the Panthers have seven new players to welcome. It took a number of moves, both up and down the board to secure "their guys," but the staff feel good about the incoming class. But do i?

Send us Fan Mail Last minute episode with my opinions of the Panthers' draft opportunities. No first round pick, and multiple day two picks with plenty of needs across the roster makes this one of Carolina's most interesting drafts. Wide receiver (mercifully) seems to be stacked with day two/WR2 talent, just pick your flavor, while other needs are a little more acute - OC, EDGE, LB. Plus...

Send us Fan Mail It's another Mock Draft Monday! This time, Seattle comes with an offer that looks too good to be true. If you were sitting at pick 39 and a choice between Zach Frazier (OC) and extra 2025 draft capital, what would you do?

Send us Fan Mail With the majority of Free Agency behind us, I ran through two mock drafts - one on Pro Football Focus and another at Pro Football Network. The overarching goal was the same: draft two capable WRs to compete for a starting position and increase the dynamism of the Panthers offense; find a physically gifted C to back up and eventually replace Austin Corbett, and fill in rotational n...

Send us Fan Mail It's been awhile since I was giving you my opinion and a lot has changed for the Carolina Panthers...and the Tarheel basketball program. After firing Frank Reich, Tepper relieved Fitterer of GM duties once the season ended. This opened up the doors for one of the most extensive rebuilds in recent memory for Carolina. A slew of Free Agent signings, and a couple trades has new...

Send us Fan Mail The Panthers' 2023 comes to a merciful close, as does Season One of OFO. Now onto UNC basketball and and what looks to be a very eventful Panthers Off-Season! I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions here: X: @uncnavy03 Insta: https://instagram.com/one_fans_opinion

Send us Fan Mail UNC collapses in their bowl game against  WVU, perfectly encapsulating their season. The Carolina Panthers finally show signs of progress against Green Bay at home in Charlotte before finding an all-new bottom in Jax. In a bright spot, UNC basketball picks up a gritty W at Pitt as ACC play gets underway and the Pod begins to look more closely at CBB. I'm no expert, but you ca...

Send us Fan Mail The Panthers eeked out a W in Charlotte in front of a section-sized crowd. But taking down Atlanta, and likely their playoff hopes, made it all that much sweeter. Meanwhile, UNC basketball stumbles again, this time due to poor late-game decision making.

Send us Fan Mail UNC lands in a familiar spot for their bowl game, but without the familiar names. The basketball team isn't perfect, but there's a lot to be excited about. Meanwhile, the Panthers continue to underwhelm while madness unfolds behind closed doors.

Send us Fan Mail The Tarheels pulled out an emotional and grueling win against the Blue Devils with students storming the field in celebration. And why not? You should be fired up for these kinds of games. Meanwhile, the Panthers continue to struggle on offense and it appears the coaching staff is unwilling to open things up for Bryce - why not? I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions her...

Send us Fan Mail UNC stumbles, at home, against UVA picking up their first loss of the season. Fortunately (but not really) there weren't that many people there to witness it. In Charlotte,  the Panthers were on a bye week, so we only had to endure one loss this weekend.  I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions here: X: @uncnavy03 Insta: https://instagram.com/one_fans_opinion

Send us Fan Mail UNC continues to grow with a convincing win against a top 25 opponent while the Panthers finally show a few signs of life against the NFL's #1 offense.

Send us Fan Mail The offensive struggles continue for Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers as they are outscored by their own defense 7-6 in a loss to the 0-3 Minnesota Vikings.

Send us Fan Mail The North Carolina Tarheels continue to develop and keep their winning record intact, improving to 4-0 for the first time since 1997 while the Carolina Panthers continue to struggle, dropping another one-score game, this time in a dreary Seattle loss.  I'm no expert, but you can find my opinions here: X: @uncnavy03 Insta: https://instagram.com/one_fans_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...
