Did we just enter the Carolina Panthers Multiverse? 🌀 With Sam Darnold and Drake Maye set to face off in Super Bowl LX at the site of SB50, the irony is officially off the charts. We’re breaking down the "What If" timelines that led us here and debating the future of the franchise.

Plus, the hardware is official! Tetairoa McMillan has been named the PFWA Offensive Rookie of the Year—the first Panther to do it since Cam Newton in 2011. We’re discussing his historic 1,014-yard season and whether an AP sweep is next.

Tonight’s Lineup:

The "What If" Blueprint: How the Darnold/Maye timeline almost happened in Charlotte.

T-Mac’s Trophy Case: Breaking down the stats behind the OROY win.

February Town Hall: We're calling for YOUR Super Bowl memories for next week’s show!

Ickey’s $17.5M Gamble 🚨 Top LT Prospects to Replace Ekwonu at #19

The 2025 Carolina Panthers season ended with a heartbreak in LA, but the 2026 "Blueprint" is already being drawn. With General Manager Dan Morgan confirming the team will pick up Bryce Young’s 5th-year option, the focus shifts to protecting the franchise. But with Ikem Ekwonu suffering a torn patellar tendon, can the Panthers afford a $17.5M gamble on his recovery?

Tonight, the C3 Crew breaks down the "Blueprint for Success." We look at how teams like the Seahawks and Broncos made their 3-year leap to 14 wins and how Carolina can replicate it. Plus, we celebrate Tetairoa McMillan being named PFWA Rookie of the Year and analyze the latest on Ejiro Evero’s head coaching interviews!

The 2025 Carolina Panthers season is officially in the books, and General Manager Dan Morgan just set the stage for the 2026 offseason. At today's press conference, Morgan confirmed the Panthers will pick up Bryce Young’s 5th-year option, keeping the franchise QB in Charlotte through 2027.

Tonight, the C3 Crew dives deep into the "State of the Panthers." We’re grading the 2025 season—from the NFC South title to the Wild Card loss—and looking ahead to free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft where Carolina holds the #19 overall pick. How will Morgan address the defensive front seven and the offensive line injuries to Ikem Ekwonu and Robert Hunt? We break it all down.
