They have Keenan Allen, they have DJ Moore, they will have Caleb Williams… then they have a haul of picks the next two years to play with to build. it is getting worse. id rather have Drake Maye though. he’s going to win offensive rookie of the year.

Panthers fans… poo talking about Jim Harbaugh and his plan. what they had been doing wasn’t working despite having Herbert. Harbaugh knows what he’s doing and I’m here for it. The drive to succeed that Jim has, much like with Bill, is going to wear on people with weak mental fortitude.

It’s not Artificial. It’s algorithmic intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a buzzword companies latched on to in order to sell a product.

Certainly wasn’t you a year ago, was it? Can’t believe I was banned for a week for saying the poo that is now, contextually, very mild.

That’s sort of the point, this is a youth tournament, not a washed up man tournament.

Adults shooting adults in front of kids. Starting brawls in front of kids. are they building men or are they setting them up for future failure and criminal charges? They have an opportunity to be a positive influence and go and do this? That goes for both sides of the poo.

He’s not coming here. It’s career suicide.

The Head Coach should not be a QB baby sitter. That’s the job of the offensive staff. Some play callers can succeed as Head Coaches, many more cannot. I’d much rather have a defensive minded head coach that knows how to delegate.

I graded it an F at the time. I grade it as an F now. If the staff, and Tepper, had just let Josh McCown do his job, we would have Stroud right now. Instead Tepper got to ignore his $30,000,000 staff of football experts based on a dinner where a 5’9 185 lb QB ordered a SALAD; and perhaps he listened to Nick Saban. I got a week long suspension in the summer for continuing to talk about this. My desired draft was as follows (trade down): 1. Dalton Kincaid 2. Zach Charbonnet 3. Marvin Mims 4-7. defense Keep Wilks and let him hire his staff, re-sign Darnold, re-sign Foreman, trade Burns, trade Horn, keep DJ Moore, sign a TE like Hayden Hurst. Instead, we got what we got. We may have sucked again in 2023, but we would’ve had a shot at Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, McCarthy, Bo Nix, etc. My idea for the franchise being better than a billionaire hedge fund managers is hilarious to me. If I were a coach, or free agent, I wouldn’t want to come to Charlotte right now. We are the new Cleveland. Ironic considering Tepper’s ties to Pittsburgh.

Steve Wilks, Belichick, Harbaugh, Evero, Callahan i like the idea of a defensive coach who will bring in their offensive staff. I know Tepper wants a head coach to bring Bryce Along but that’s a lot to take on. Let the Head Coach be a Head Coach and bring his own guys in to manage the position groups. the head coach to mentor a single player aspect fails quite often.

Horn, when healthy, is a Top 10 player at his position.

Who could’ve seen 5’11 noodle armed QB’s not working in a quick strike NFL?

It was Tepper who wanted to trade up for Young. It was Tepper who forced the team to draft Young. history may put that on Fitt because owners always get a pass, but that wasn’t on him.

You think Baker played poorly because he didn’t want to be here? Baker is the epitome of pride in your work. There are no guarantees in the NFL so him playing poorly wouldn’t do much for him or the team. baker played poorly because this is what the Panthers have become under Tepper. He has 31 touchdowns this year. Let that sink in.

These aren’t trade off’s. You can have all four. Tepper just seems like a narcissist so he’s a very poor judge of others emotional intelligence and how it meshes with everything you mentioned.

If the Panthers had the top overall pick this year, Young would be out. People can go on and on about improvement, year one this, year one that. What we just witnessed was worse than what we saw from Josh Rosen with the Cardinals and on par with, if not worse, than what we got from Jimmy Clausen in 2010. Generally you'll see something that wows you, or gives you hope, but I didn't get any of that with Bryce. I watched the Texans game on Saturday and it's just mind boggling how the Panthers could look at this two in back to back Pro Days and then decide that Young is the guy. The ball jumps off of Strouds hands, he's mobile, he can play from under center, he makes full field reads, and guys follow his lead. There is no way an offensive staff as experienced as what the Panthers hired looked at Young and Stroud side by side and said "Yep, Young should be the pick". That brings me to the Tepper's. The only commonality that's happened since Tepper bought the team is that there is a QB acquisition each off-season and the mantra is always "we need to find our QB of the future, no matter how much it costs us". Fitterer said this, but he didn't come from the school of making bad trades or overdrafting guys. The Seahawks are one of the best drafting franchises in the NFL and their roster management is top notch. We haven't seen a lot of that under Fitterer which tells me that Tepper is far more involved in the Day-to-Day, intermediate term, and Strategic decision making in regards to personnel. 1. Teddy Two-Gloves 2. Sam Darnold 3. Baker Mayfield 4. Bryce Young Each of these guys cost draft picks and only Darnold, once we finally went heavy play action with Foreman to protect the offensive line and QB, had even a modicum of success. He fired Rivera a few months into a 3-4 change on defense, fired Brady after a short tenure, fired Rhule, and now fired Reich and Fitterer after a move that by all accounts was created by Tepper. The point of this post is to say that if you can get a quarterback at the Top of the 2nd round, or even trade back up into the first, you do it. You can't go into next season with only Young as your starter based on what we've seen this year. If we had the top pick, he would be gone. Which just goes to show, if we had just stood pat with what we had, and still sucked this year, we could've had our pick of Maye, Penix, or Williams and could've had a very young, talented core of talent to build around. Instead, we are the new Browns.

Hire a defensive minded head coach, sign Derrick Henry, trade Miles Sanders, draft two BURNERS at receiver, and mandate that Bryce Young do nothing but train under center in the off-season. I'm talking 1990's offensive football. Play action that bitch 75% of the time.

Coordinators who can't coordinate for poo, sure. Our offense took a nosedive from an NYFD firefighter and secondary coach as head coach. Money isn't everything. Tepper is the ultimate square peg guy.

Bryce was not the consensus number one pick, by a mile. If the Texans had drafted first, they would've taken Young. I feel like many other teams would've passed on Bryce if he was the option. Given the Bears position last year, if Bryce was surefire, they would've kept the pick, traded fields, and drafted Young. The fact they didn't is very telling.

I haven't seen the questions other than his ACL's at Indiana. Any questions for Penix are two-fold for Bryce yet we mortgaged the franchise for him.

Our offensive line is fine. We need to get back to what works and keep the main thing the main thing. A Top 10 line under Wilks, a defensive coordinator by trade, went to poo under an offensive Head Coach. Players aren't the issue, it's the system.

Like what, exactly? Bryce didn't make half the throws that Penix makes and is a good 5 inches shorter. If there are a "multitude of questions" about Penix, why was Bryce the "surefire number one pick"? Give me a break. And while you're at it, give me Penix or Nix.

You don't think Harrison Jr. is a generational talent? He was bred to be a wide receiver in the NFL. Quite literally. He's been good at Ohio State. He will be an All-Pro in the NFL. Pair him with DJ Moore and a surging Justin Fields? My god. Or, they could trade down, trade Fields, and still get Penix/Marvin Harrison Jr.

Why would Ben Johnson come to Carolina for any reason other than money? You have a meddling owner who has had 5 head coaches on two different teams. It's a recipe for disaster and the reputation he has among coaching circles is most likely horrible.

One could argue that Tom Brady was a game manager. Payton Manning was the ultimate game manager. There is literally nothing wrong with being a game manager, especially at QB. That's their job. Purdy had a bad game, it happens. I'd still take Purdy and Shanahan over whatever the Panthers have right now.
