We have a colored opinion of Frank Reich. He was a key part of the Eagles 2017 Super Bowl championship and the Colts were competitive with him even after Luck retired. Frank was the wrong coach for Bryce Young, he admitted it when he refused to change his scheme to fit Bryce’s limited skillset, and he got himself fired. He was a stubborn old coach and the Panthers needed a young innovative coach willing to learn and grow with Bryce. Now as far as a fit for the Jets, this is a terrible hire. Expecting Frank Reich to revive the Jets offense at this point will take a miracle. If the hit on a QB in the draft it’s possible but I’m not betting on it.

Icky was really starting to round into form at times this season. He was one of the primary reasons the Panthers beat the Packers. Parsons couldn’t do anything against Icky. Really sucks he had this happen to him in the playoffs and now he’s staring down his career potentially being over. He will get his chance to come back and I hope he does, but if I’m the panthers I’m prepping as if he is never stepping on the field again

Cam is mentioned on the list, and I think he’s eventually getting in. But it’s gonna take the right year and some time. He’s a HOF level talent and he did show it on the field. But he’s not first ballot with a number of other QBs ahead of him with more accolades and superbowl rings.

Cam will get in, but it will be as an old guy sadly

He meant DJ Moore haha

Yea man gotta gamble on the dodgeball game

Got about 8in in Wilmington. I love it because my kids are wiped out from playing in the snow this morning and I might get a free afternoon haha

Snowed a lot in Wilmington as of 2am

The LT is a tough call. It depends how much they want to spend on what might be a 1 year rental, or potentially a long term solution. Personally I prefer signing Nijman and drafting a first round tackle with Moton getting up there

I’ll be honest I didn’t even know who Nijman was in August

I am in favor of re-signing Cade Mays but it seems like he will test free agency. Re-signing Nijman is the top priority.

Sucks for Icky but given the seriousness of the injury it’s very likely the first round pick will be a tackle. If the Panthers re-sign Icky for anything other than a reasonably priced prove-it contract after his option year is up, it’ll be a horrendous decision.

lol Ron Rivera. He’s honestly just the right coach to fix a toxic culture for a year or two if that’s what they are able to get. Ron is a good guy, not a good head coach especially that this point in his career.

I would have been such a big fan of Drake Maye if he was on like 27 other teams. Why couldn’t a team I don’t actively hate have drafted him? Why couldn’t the PANTHERS have done everything they could to draft the hometown kid instead of a 5’9 QB who isn’t tall enough to be able to read a defense? I’m glad the Panthers are better than dogshit now but the wounds from the past mistakes cut deep and the scars won’t ever fully heal.

I made this thread and I stick by it. Darnold looked like garbage at the end of 2021. But the entire Panthers franchise has been garbage for so long it doesn’t even matter who was the QB. It’s clear the team needs a QB so good the putrid stench of ineptitude doesn’t phase them, IE Cam Newton.

It truly is infuriating and they’ve passed on an insane amount of 2nd round centers in favor of mostly players who don’t make it in the NFL

The Browns are scrambling to find a coach to interview to satisfy the Rooney rule and none of the candidates are better than Evero which is super sad for them and maybe good for us

He said pass rush is the number 1 need and considering that is one of the main reasons they lost the playoff game I would agree. Rams didn’t let Derrick Brown beat them on the final drive a second time and the panthers have no one else who can get to the QB consistently

If Josh Allen comes too sure

Low key they might end up offering the job to Evero.

Titans are probably pissed that they hired Saleh and then McDermott became available. McDermott might take a year off but I could see him landing any one of the available openings right now.

Edge or DT isn’t a bad decision. There aren’t many positions they could draft in the first round that would be a bad idea outside maybe CB and HB

Stats back up he was the best corner on the team easily. Passed Horn by a mile this year. WAY better tackler.

He would be a minor improvement over Evero. Still known for soft ass defense in critical moments.

Bryce played at New England on a beautiful 70 degree September day and CJ played them on a sleety 32 degree day in January. It’s ok to admit the situations are not the same
