There's never been any talk of the Panthers moving. The London based owner of the Jags is on record of wanting to move them. Why do you think they've had NFL games over there for more than a decade and the Jags ALWAYS are one of the teams that plays there???

QB is THE most important position in the game. The league has neutered defenses so much that the differences between a great quarterback and a mediocre or bad one is a chasm. Great play at the position automatically makes a team a contender. The Texans would be in the playoffs if the season ended right now, and that's ONLY because of CJ Stroud. I don't care that he's a rookie. Right now, I would say he's clearly the most valuable player to any team in the league.
You may or may not know this, but in Hootie & The Blowfish's breakout hit "Only Wanna Be With You" has a line "I don't know why, but the dolphins made me cry."
I met Darius Rucker in a bar 6-mo before they got big & he told me everyone thinks that line wasn't about Flipper, but it was really about the year the Dolphins had the best record in the NFL after winning on Thanksgiving but missed the playoffs b/c Marino and backup Scott Mitchell had season-ending injuries. The Panthers didn't exist yet, so I was a Dolphins fan at the time, and I cried that year, too.
We both grew up in the Carolinas and talked about how it was common was pick whatever teams were good in the year we started liking sports, which is why he and I were both Dolphins, Reds and Sixers fans.
Justin Fields is a pretty good running back who lines up as QB.
The Peter Principle. In management, people will keep rising until they reach a level of incompetence. He has the skills and experience to be a very good defensive coordinator, but he does not have the competencies to be a good head coach. I know people's egos don't like to accept this, but it's as simple as that. Not everyone can be a great head coach.
I'm a Panthers fan, and it's hard for me to get motivated to watch it. I only care about it because I want to give them a lower draft pick next year.
See the 30-for-30 on Marcus Dupree called "The Best That Never Was."
Dude had SO much potential in an era where running backs like him became legends... Emmett Smith, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Hershell Walker... he could have been at that level.
Big Ben yes... Ryan and Rivers... not a chance.
It's the "Hall of FAME," not the "Hall of BETTER THAN AVERAGE."
The real question is, does Eli get in??
And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those meddling redditors.
