Hornets about to be the great hope of Charlotte

Imagine if the hornets traded multiple future 1sts and a core piece to get to 1 in the draft and having them start the year like this. I don't watch college football so didn't have an opinion on Bryce and am not as down on him as a lot of people are, but the Panthers are in a **** world of hurt right now.

The worst thing is Caleb Williams (#1 pick next draft) is supposed to be a Mahomes level talent.

If Tepper just had some patience....

This may go down as the worst trade in NFL history.

The funny thing is we actually have scored the 2nd most points in the division. But the defense is one of the worst in the league and like 50pts worse than anyone in division.

I'm not gonna lie, I hated every single move we made this offseason. It felt like a masterclass on how not to build a team. Tepper's out here making MJ look like a great owner by comparison

I hate to defend this team but I don't think our defense is that bad, our offense just turns the ball over at a really high rate. Our offense is hot garbage though and they mainly just rack up points in garbage time. Like we had 10 points midway through the fourth quarter yesterday before they went on to score 14 meaningless points in garbage time. The offense also turned it over three times yesterday leading to easy touchdowns

I think the defense is just tired of opposing offenses starting inside out 40 literally every other possession it seems like.

If I had known that Fitterer was this bad at drafting (literally the worst drafting GM ever...how is he still employed?) I would have never done the CMC trade.

I think Bryce will be fine, its just we hired the wrong coach. Reich is a micromanager who is telling Bryce where to throw every play, which is why Bryce is making uncharacteristic throws. They should have drafted Stroud if that was the plan.

Bryce is a Mahomes/Rodgers type passer that needs to play instinctively and with tempo and a rhythm, not someone you tell exactly who to throw to. I couldn't believe that came out of Reich's mouth when he said that!

This is the NFL, why are you telling your QB who to throw to every play?

Absolutely hated the Donte Jackson extension, the Miles Sanders and Hayden Hurst signings - just a bunch of wasted money. Hurst is getting paid like a pro-bowl starter...why exactly? He catches 1-2 passes a game.

Reich is truly awful and Tepper is as bad for being hoodwinked by a southern preacher man TWICE

Well, at least if/when the Braves get their faces kicked in by Philly the Dodgers did even worse. So it's not all bad.

So, youtube's new anti-ad blocker thing is super irritating.

I've paid for yt premium for awhile now and it's been worth every penny. not that you should yield to the heinous anti-ad blocker practices, which I hate.

I found another adblock extension that works, it doesn't get detected.

I don't even care about ads that much, I watch Twitch all the time and their ads literally play over the stream.

I use ad-blocker (uBlock Origin) to block all the shorts. Those things spam my feed up, if I didn't block them they'd take over the world.

So, remember the chickens that moved into my yard?

Two of the hens vanished for a while. Figured they got ate by something or wondered off.

Well, today, I wake up and I see one of them with about 10 chicks.

Which makes me think the other has a bunch of eggs somewhere too.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say the Panthers picked the wrong QB. Stroud had nearly 500 yards today. Bryce looks like a turd.
