I like Dalton and I think he'll make the games more fun to watch on Sundays. He's a real pro in that he'll step up into the pocket and deliver the ball. He should have a good clean pocket with our extremely expensive interior o-linemen. Dalton will throw a dumb pick here and there, but so did Brady. Just play like a pro QB and we've got a chance.

Another game no one will remember a year from now, and few will actually watch. I'll record the game and watch our offense only at a later time. No need to watch this live and sit through commercials. Pointless game.

3 types of fans. 1. The pessimist. No matter how good the team, he has a little snippy remark or dig to make, and underestimates the team. You'll hear from him most when the team is actually good. "Well if so and so doesn't play well we're probably going to lose. We've beaten a bunch of bad teams, but we're going to play ______ soon, and then we'll be in trouble." 2.) The optimist. No matter how bad the team is, or how bleak and or grim the future looks, the optimist has a positive feeling about the situation that he can't quite place. Makes "The team isn't that bad, and the future looks bright" type of comments. 3.) The realist. Tends to be long winded, pointing out both the positive and negative aspects of the situation, and stays in the middle of the road. "Maybe so... could go either way." So the forum will be [optimist] versus [pessimist] with the [realist] moderating for those of you who are new here.

We're looking at a career backup QB and we traded the farm for him. Fitt truly was one of the all time worst GM's in NFL history.

I saw a Saints fan comforting a Panthers fan like this on Sunday.

I'd consider paying the $1.80 if I knew we'd use Wildcat the entire game. I'll never watch Young in person not even for free. I have a life.

And now Derrick Brown is injured and probably done for the season.

I turned it off at halftime. No need to watch the rest. The outcome was certain.

The latter.

I've changed my mind. Tank it.

Yes.

The bot is good so long as we're looking decent. If this team poops the bed again then the bot should go back on the banned list imo.

Moton, for his size, has been unbelievably healthy over the course of his career. He's not playing as well as he used to, but he's had a great career. Being over the cap is kind of astonishing. No CMC, no Burns, Young on a rookie deal, no flashy superstars. I think this is the all time low point of the franchise. Even with Pickles we were dreaming about drafting Andrew Luck, and then Cam. There was plenty to be excited about back then. Now? We've got a long 17 game season of Bryce Young, and Dan Morgan trying to find a QB in the upcoming draft. I'm not feeling good about the situation at all.

Welcome back Ian Thomas... I guess. Hopefully we can get some production out of Miles Sanders this season. Zavala was horrendous last season, so he needs to step it up. D.J who knows? A lot of question marks going into this season, but Young will decide our fate.

If we start out 0-4 and we don’t look competitive then I’m going into a tanking mindset.

I remember that Fitt slogan, and the red laser beam eyes whenever he signed a player or after a draft pick. Those lasers burned our franchise to the ground. I'm not happy with our last draft, but I don't have any ammo to really go after Dam yet. Do I have confidence in Dan atm? Meh. I'm hoping for the best and prepared for the worst.

Fitt did a tremendous amount of damage and we knew it at the time. Passing on incredible deals, and trading a lot for proven losers. You can't do that and not kill this franchise for a long time. The past mistakes have cooked this franchise. No one wants to come here, and they're right for staying clear. Dan Morgan is our new best hope for the future. He has to identify, along with his scouts, a new QB and players who will give us a functioning offense by modern standards. We have to be able to pass at a high level consistently. Period. Anything else is a secondary priority that be easily addressed. Dan is going to be judged by his QB hunting. Fitt brought us proven losers to play QB, and traded the farm for a 5'10 little guy. Not good enough, and he was rightly fired. Dan knows he will have to find a QB. We all know that at this point. Yes Young could suddenly turn into an amazing franchise QB, but that is highly unlikely. Young being a little bit better doesn't mean anything. You have to move on after this season if he doesn't a make a big leap forward. 2025 Dan will select a QB imo, and that will be the start of his rise or downfall. Our rebuild begins whenever we have a great QB on the roster. Once you have that, then you build around him. Building around Young doesn't mean anything imo. Young's deep ball is miles off target, his roll outs make me want to stop watching Panthers football, and he just doesn't do much overall. He's just out there killing time. Killing my Sunday. The rebuild hasn't even started imo.

My mindset going into each draft is to draft o-line and receivers high until we have a functioning passing offense. To take a RB high was an odd choice, but it's no comparison to Fitt's franchise ruining blunders. The ultimate nightmare is if he ends up being injured a lot. At the time I wanted to keep CMC and trade Burns to the Rams instead, but we had a terrible GM. I have no confidence whatsoever in this team, but I'm also ready for more Panthers football. We've missed out on so many playoffs that these off seasons feel longer. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.
