Bryce can't play under center. This is a failure from ownership to the coaching staff. I won't even blame Fitterer because it's become apparent that Tepper organized the trade, pushed to draft Young, and hired Reich. Young is short. You can't run exclusively out of the shotgun in the NFL and win. That is, in part, Bryce's fault. No need to feel bad for him he's such a hyper processor and so much like Patrick Mahomes or Chris Paul that he should be able to dish the rock to anyone from any Arm angle, right? SEC! SEC! Just like the NFL, I hears. Morons.

Fitterer isn't the issue. Tepper hired Reich, Tepper wanted to trade up for Young. None of this is on Fitterer.

What's their excuse for Stroud going under center? Fact is that Bryce is too short. It's why Kyler was run out of the shotgun a lot under Kliff. Either way, the current offense isn't going to fool anyone. It wouldn't work in college and it won't work in the NFL, talent levels equal.

The run game concepts and pass game concepts make no sense to anyone. You pass to run or run to pass but, in the Panthers case, it's almost like you run two different offensive philosophies that do not compliment each other. Also, you can't run 30 empty sets a game with a rookie QB. Get under center, run the ball, run play action and get him out of the pocket. If you can't do that, Tepper should find someone who can. Which ironically we had last year but who am I?

These are all things I saw in watching Bryce and I watch a ton of College Football. App State's QB Joey Aguilar makes faster decisions than Bryce does and he's in his first year out of JuCo. I'll say it once, I'll say it ten times more, if Bryce Young went to Kentucky and Levis was at Alabama, Young would've been a 4th round pick and Levis would've gone number one or two.

Which is why it's better to EARN the 1st or 2nd pick and not trade for it.

And the Vikings just keep winning which says a helluva lot about their organization. No Jefferson, no Cousins, no problem? How many teams could lose a Top 3 receiver and probably a Top 13 QB and continue to win? O'Connell will get his respect this year.

Yeah. I guess so, right? He's literally been one of the lone bright spots on the team when he does get a chance to return.

If we had traded Burns to the Rams we'd have a Top 10 pick this year. Had we done that trade and not traded up for Bryce, we may have been in a position to have two Top 10 picks in one of the deeper QB classes in years. Tepper is a moron who went QB fishing and has been QB fishing since 2019. It's killed the program.

Compared to what? At this point, I don't know what purpose winning serves. I also don't see how there can be any mid-season philosophical change short of going to an offensive style similar to what the Lions run, which is what we did last year. As I've said many times. We need to be under center, we need to go play action heavy under center, and we need to throw from under center. The entire offense is run out of the shotgun right now and it's literally terrible. What is the purpose of running from a single back formation on 1st down, only to go shotgun on 2nd and 3rd down? It's so predictable it's hard to watch.

Second HC he's fired in two seasons with the team. He's now fired four total coaches in 4 years of ownership. Dude is a clown show.

Other guy. Don't need "Puff" Daddy as the owner of the team I root for. Give me public ownership like the Packers or something.

If I owned the team, we would've drafted Levis or Stroud. And it wouldn't have been even a consideration for Bryce other than to maybe obtain draft picks. Stupid is as stupid does.

You clearly weren't around for the "Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire" chants if you think Bryce enduring booing is bad. EDIT: S C@M NeWTON

You don't win with Free Agency. You win in the draft.

The YPA is my biggest issue. Go 55% completion as a rookie, I don't care. But have a 5 YPA and there is clearly an issue.

Tepper doesn't have a plan. Otherwise we never would've traded up for Bryce nor would we have hired Reich. Wilks could've just as easily brought in Thomas Brown and Josh McCown to coach on this staff.

Wilks is fools gold? Based on what? Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me.

Would rather have Kellen Moore.

When the organization is putting out media about how we are a potential playoff team right away, people tend to get disappointed. This is the worst start for this team, ever. Literally going back to 1995.

Just let Fitterer do his job? It was obvious that the Panthers were zeroed in on Wilks and likely never would've traded up in this draft if they had re-signed Wilks. Tepper wanted an offensive guy and he wanted "his" QB. Josh wanted CJ Stroud. His draft preview and his comments at the Ohio State Pro Day said as much. I can't help but think that the rest of the staff felt the same way until Tepper came in dodging, ducking, dipping diving, and, yes, dodging his way into the picture.

Say it with me: Tepper, is the problem. He wants to be Jerry Jones without the potential backlash so he doesn't give himself the GM title. He never should've been at Pro Days. He never should've been meeting with players at the Pro Days. He should've stayed home and let Fitterer and Co. do their job. If I was a better GM than Fitterer, I'd quit and go back to Seattle before Tepper completely ruined my career.

You can't drop back 50 times a game and win. You can't throw the ball between the LOS and 20 yards out exclusively or the box will stay stacked. You can't expect a rookie QB to go out and win the game for you. Go back to what made this line look deadly and run under center.

1. We have the wrong scheme. We went back to the fundamentals last year which made our offensive line a Top 13 or so group in the league and helped Darnold play like a Top 10 QB outside of the last game. 2. We traded away both of our best offensive players in CMC and Moore 3. I think we hired the wrong Head Coach. Wilks could've brought all these same guys in without the requirement that he call plays and he is an excellent defensive mind with true leadership ability. Young would probably be good on a team with a solid core and a solid system but we have neither.

You claim people who have been Panthers fans longer than you've been alive are Texans fans, and expect no response? If you are an adequate sample of Gen Z, I need to not only get out of Panthers Fandom but possibly this country.
