Let’s draft WR Ryan Williams from Alabama, damn he’s gonna be good in the pros. Edit: damn he’s only 18???

I’ve come to say I was wrong. Arch Manning is not a good QB. He’s a great athlete, poor decision maker, and his arm is barely good enough for college football

David Tepper can't change who he is. What made him successful in finance is working against him as a football team owner. The atrocious product on the field should equate to bankruptcy but because of NFL revenue sharing and the alternative use of the stadium, he isn't financially impacted by the team being dogshit. So aside from his toxic leadership, there is no monetary gain for him to build a winner anymore. Panthers fans are truly f*cked.

I mean I agree with you but I don't think it's on Canales. We don't know what he asked for in the offseason and I haven't heard him say he didn't want competition at the QB spot. From what I can see from this franchise, it's Tepper who wants the QB coddled. Every year the starting QB is unchallenged.

I mean was this Canales's decision? Did he say he didn't want to try to upgrade the backup position? It seems to be a trait of the organization to not have QB competition the only notable exception being the 2022 season which had a farce competition between Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold which seems like the best QB room the Panthers have had in many years in retrospect.

Eh it's similar but it's not. The Jaguars won 9 games in both 2022 and 2023. The Jaguars no doubt have a better roster.

I mean there's already a thread for the Bryce Young excuse party using these cherry picked PFF metrics, but here's my response. How many games does Bryce post abysmal stats and lose the game until it's his fault? He's 6-23 as a starter and regularly posts stat lines that look like a third string emergency QB until some garbage time pads his stats.

I mean I know you're being hyperbolic but the point about the culture being toxic is spot on. Leadership is the problem. When the owner is permeating toxicity from the top, nothing else is going to work. The best example of this is Washington under Dan Snyder, and even they weren't as miserable as the Panthers have become. It's just a comical level of ineptitude and poor leadership from David Tepper.

It doesn't matter that he's more hands off with the football decisions anymore. He spent the better part of 8 years breeding a toxic losing culture and he is still overseeing the management of the team. The leadership from the top down is broken, and until that is fixed nothing will change.

this is tepper's 8th season as owner. other than the first half of 2018 which wasn't even really his team, it's been nothing but misery. at this point any panthers fans out there being like "nah bro chill" is either gaslighting us or a naive moron

It's year 8 of misery bro what do you expect.

Stop making sense

Oh yea I blame canales for Bryce throwing the ball away on 4th and 1 in the red zone. Bryce sucks https://x.com/avl_mike/status/1965063133116215309?s=46&t=04sKNnhiiGcTDblLYKGiJQ

A 12 year old playing madden can draft better than anyone the panthers have had under David Tepper

Facts!!! God damn I wish Cam had this many excuses made for him, he’d be in the hall of fame

David Tepper is an awful leader of a football team. No one respects him. He can do as many charity events as he wants, doesn’t change the fact he ruined the Panthers

Yea the Vikings drafted McCarthy and had Darnold on the bench. Oh sh*t McCarthy got hurt so they had Darnold who had the best season of his career. Meanwhile the Panthers have Bryce Young who can’t even throw for 100 yards a game outside of garbage time. F*ck this team

Let's see what the final record is this season. But in all likelihood when it's another 5 or less win season, everyone has to go. There are some young pieces to build around but most of the roster needs to be rebuilt. Obviously get rid of Bryce, get him out of the building immediately. Cut him, trade him, whatever it is. I just don't see how keeping him around is helping anything. He's not a starting caliber NFL caliber QB. He's probably going to have a long career as a backup, but he's not a starter. They don't need to go draft a QB right away. Get a veteran stopgap QB and go nuts drafting defense. Build the team up. Get a defensive head coach. It's time to stop trying to be like everyone else and go back to what the Panthers did well which was run the ball and play excellent defense. Draft a QB when the team isn't a sack of flaming garbage.

The Panthers are dead. No one worth a sh*t would willingly work for this franchise. It’s all rejects and nobodies. I will never forgive David Tepper’s arrogant ass for ruining this franchise. He can give out as many charity dinners and coat drives as he wants but the fact remains he killed a fun team to be a fan of.

I mean probably in his second or third game when I didn’t see him throw with any strength or poise or rhythm

He’s not a center. The panthers refuse to draft a center despite many opportunities to do so. This team is garbage and a 12 year old playing madden franchise could do a better job drafting

You’re right, he would be better suited to write a sad book no one reads

Yea one thing that I did appreciate about Rivera was even with some quite notable exceptions that the team did usually come motivated and prepared to play an NFL football game. Canales looks like he spent yesterday on the golf course and casually strolled into work today to cash a check.

I mean Bryce made some good throws. There were drops. But he just doesn’t push the ball down the field. He can’t make all the throws. He is just so physically limited and short that the entire offense is easy to defend.
