His “top” plays are plays good QBs make every game. You don’t end up 2-15 because you had a good QB. He was a rookie, and the offense and scheme were crap. I get it. But the Panthers offense wasn’t just bad, it was non-functional.

This team needs a good smart young coach to grow with the team. Tepper needs to go away and just be patient. This team is such a mess it’s going to take many years to fix. Hire the right guy and let him get to work and figure it out. These old guys won’t be here long enough to see the fix through to the end.

Reich probably said some sh*t about Bryce not being the QB he wanted same with McCown and Duce Staley

You’re preaching to the choir

I am not going, and can wait

Slowik is my choice too after investigating all the candidates

Dumb question but who is interviewing these coaches? Is it Tepper and Dan Morgan?

Every opening is better than the Panthers. Most of the other openings have a better roster and you aren’t married to the QB. The Chargers are the exception there.

Hiring Evero as head coach honestly makes sense.

It's 2023 by a long shot for several reasons. The highly picked QB and coaching staff were brand new and were a colossal failure so because of the bleak future and no first overall pick to show for the miserable season, 2023 takes the sh*t cake.

I’m fairly certain Vrabel to NE is already a done deal. You don’t let a guy like Belichick leave without a solid plan behind him. And a guy like Vrabel will have options. I’d like the Panthers to interview him (maybe you end up with Vrabel and Arthur Smith getting the band back together somewhere) but I don’t see it happening on the Panthers. My wildcard is Vrabel going to the Chargers.

They should tag him if they’ve got a trade partner lined up. Otherwise unless he will sign for a team friendly deal, it’s better to let him walk. This team needs 5 nickels to be competitive next year instead of 1 quarter.

100% behind Xavier Worthy if he falls to 33. NFL comp is Devonta Smith. Worthy will be a legit NFL receiver for sure.

If Vrabel doesn’t already have a job in NE lined up like I think he does, I really hope he interviews with the Panthers. Proven good coach who can make a winner out of a flawed roster.

Reports saying Vrabel wanted out of Ten makes me think he had it lined up beforehand

Vrabel is going to NE. It’s all been assembled behind the scenes months ago.

He can remain in some role but I don’t think it’s going to work out with the crew that was here during this awful period.

You don’t and up the worst team in the NFL because you had a good QB

Slowik’s progress through the interview progress might unintentionally tell us how he feels about Bryce. He had to have built some preliminary plans to coach Bryce if the Panthers picked Stroud instead.

Bobby Slowik is that dude. Glad he’s on the list.

It's too late. The decisions they've made are so bad that I'd be shocked if any semblance of competence surfaced. The team has degraded from a flawed but talented roster lacking a franchise QB to one that has no identity, no star players, and an owner best known for firing coaches mid season on the regular and throwing drinks at opposing fans. The best thing he could do is hire professional football people to run the ship and completely disappear.

It was infinitely more retarded because they were drafting a rookie QB. How does keeping Brian Burns, a tweener part time pass rusher they could have gotten 2 first round draft picks for, benefit a rookie QB? Scott Fitterer and the entire Panthers organization are certified retards. I don't usually use that word and it applies here. Their ability to construct a functional NFL football team is retarded compared to the rest of the NFL.

The scouting department needs to be completely gutted. Hopefully the new GM can build a competent one that doesn't involve David Tepper at all.

They could have drafted Stetson Bennett who is essentially the same QB as Bryce only a few years older and been just as bad this season but had DJ Moore and the #1 overall pick. Bryce is god awful and shouldn’t be the only starting option next season.

Fitterer should have been fired the day he turned down that trade from the Rams. It was that day we knew he was brain dead
