The time to build the WR corps was before our QB started crying after the games.

Well the black cat didn't work out, so anything except any kind of black cat. How about a bland looking corporate building with no culture? Like a guy in a bank suit?

They have courage and talent.

We can't even properly evaluate Young because the receivers aren't open often enough. BUT, we hung on to our defensive vets. We didn't trade them, so now they can go get tired and we can lose 13 - 24. Perfect. Chef's kiss. Love it.

Our receivers can't get open in man coverage. That means we're aaaaaassssssssssssss.

Omfg that press conference. That will haunt my nightmares. When Tepper let out Fitt's idiotic plan.

What I don't want Young to be is a lame game manager who we have to build a super team around to drag him into the playoffs. We don't have some brilliant GM who can build up a mega "one shinning moment" roster that can just steam role it's way to the SB. So what the fvck is the plaaaaan? What are we trying to do? Why do we have an enormous o-line that can't run block our scheme, nor protect our tiny QB? What are we doing? Anybody? We can't replace that o-line unless you're talking about preparing to try and win in 2027.

I think we can safely say that Young is near the bottom in arm strength, yet we traded a fortune to go up and get him. That was just so extremely risky because he's not a clear stand out physical specimen, so he has to be Drew Brees brilliant to make it worth the trade and lead us to a SB.

There is no such thing as a city without culture. There is no such thing as an individual without culture. If there are people present, then there is a culture. Now Charlotte may not feel unique or have as much personalty as some other cities, but the city is a blend of many cultures.

Which starting NFL QB has a weaker arm than Young?

In order to really have a culture we need to have fans actually attending the games for a long stretch of time. This would allow for enough fan interaction in person to develop a Panthers culture. Things like "keep pounding" and the drum never really felt like that big of a deal to me. When we were in games that mattered under the Cam era the one thing that really set the Panthers apart was the refs. We could rest assured that if the game was important, then the refs would call the 50/50 calls against us across the board. A good example would be our SF playoff game. Or all the times teams took kill shots at Cam's head and knees and the refs called nothing, yet you couldn't touch our rival QB Drew Brees at all. That didn't change until the lack of calls for Cam made national news. This isn't rock bottom yet. Rock bottom would be if we're at the end of this season and Young is still pooping the bed. That's rock bottom. We can still go down from here, but if Young is a bust (if he doesn't show improvement this season, he's a bust) and we have no 1st round pick, you can't go lower than that and still have a team. Lower than that would be the team moving to London, or a huge meteorite hitting BOA and leveling it totally leveled.

No Claypool.

I urge all the Panthers fans not to relax. If Steve Smith relaxed in his life he'd be in a dumpster right now instead of a mansion. No relaxing.

Steve Smith, when he was here, was the least relaxed person I have ever seen in my life. He had zero chill. He beat the daylights out of two of his own teammates, and had no problem fighting anyone on the field or off even if the penalty cost us the game. He NEVER relaxed. Now I should relax? The irony is too much.

Fitt you son of a b. Where was this move BEFORE the season started and we got our ASSES handed to us! We're 0-4 it's too late now! We should already have a #1 WR you S.O.B. And I said we needed a number #1 WR at the time, and the huddle was arguing with me. Now we try to make a move? We're 0-4! Damn it!

Another Fitt masterstroke. Wildly overpay a rb who was accustomed to running through rushing lanes that could fit three Lizzos side by side. Brilliant!

I'll never forget Tepper going on about our blueprint for the team being a strong defense, saving capital on offense, and Young elevating the offense with less. Omfg, oh my f g. When I heard that load of poop plan I knew Fitt had sold him a mother-load of poop. I bet Tepper is ready to strangle FItt right now. It was the dumbest plan I've heard in my life! It was the opposite of what we should have done! This is actually hilarious now.

You mean prime Cam or beat up Cam? Prime Cam would run all over the damn place on these teams, and chock bombs, fire rockets over the middle. Beat up Cam? Nah. Prime Teddy might have gotten us to 2-2. The rest inspire no faith in me.

Ok I'll chill for now, but there are 13 games left to go. If we start getting close to 0-17 there isn't going to be any chill. I'm going to be very un-chill.

I watched Young throw a pass against the Saints 20 yards down field to the left outside the numbers and the ball was moving at the same speed as when we played Payton Manning in the SB. Manning was elderly in NFL years by that point, and the ball was moving almost in slow motion. Young looks the same sometimes.

I have no faith in the coaches whatsoever. The Young deep passes in preseason looked bad, and the push passes looked worse. Is his arm injured is my question?

The QB coach and Frank and Beans are not really teaching Young much of anything beyond the playbook because he hasn't changed his play at all whatsoever. Not good.

Notice how Young's deep ball has no arch or touch on it like he fired it out of a t-shirt cannon? Noodle arm push pass.

Young as a noodle arm unfortunately. Notice how much we're throwing to the middle of the field and behind the los. Noddle-tastic. Now Young basically has to morph into some kind of poor mans Drew Brees to be effective, or we have to dominate in all phases of game to win. Not good so far.
