Admittedly I know nothing about kneeland but if Nate Wiggins is still on the board with our second pick that would be hard to pass up disclaimer: I have absolutely no connection to Clemson and am not saying this as a homer pick

He’s been worth it. The only player on the team you never talk about. He’d be a perennial pro bowler if he didn’t spend his prime on the worst franchise in the nfl

Would have been a lot cooler if bot came in and said “we extended Derrick brown because our prima donna DE bolted for NY freeing up plenty of cap space” this article is saying water is wet

Another reason this franchise has been a complete failure while other teams excel is our inability to draft premier running backs anywhere except the first round. D Williams, Stewart, cmc all first round picks. Chubba took 3 years to finally produce and as soon as he potentially cements himself as a starter he will need to be paid meanwhile teams draft similar production like kamara, hunt, ekeler, aaron jones, breece hall, etc with mid round picks. we need a running back to produce immediately on a rookie contract. That is success in todays nfl

What was the reconciliation process like? Were they begging to come back? Did we beg them to come back to try and sway the detractors? Was the initial ban an amicable split? this is like when you freeze out a friend then months later allow them back in and act like nothing ever happened. so many questions

Having another vet take a roster spot seems extremely counterproductive

Mingo, icky and Shaq. mingo and icky are obvious i think Shaq has been solid his entire career but never lived up to his draft spot. He’s never been close to a pro bowl although he’s technically the leader of our defense.

He’s gotten better every year. He doesn’t complain. His motor is nonstop. if we reset the DL market he’d probably be worth it. The same can’t be said for burns. some people earn their money. Some expect it.

I saw the videos today. Panthers still getting crushed in the media because it’s low hanging fruit. personally I think we are on the right track. Every move we have made has logic. Brian burns hurts but I think it was a dead end and we got what we could. Blame the old regime. my question is, what would it take you based on what has happened in the past 3 days for you to be genuinely excited for next year? I think all of our expectations are tempered appropriately so I’m not thinking Super Bowl. But what will it take for this team to be fun to watch again, and knock on wood maybe even fight for a division title or wild card spot. for me, if we can land 2 starter caliber DEs (preferably Clowney) and a legit safety (Justin Simmons) then I’m sold on FA. Then as far as the draft goes, best WR and best center for our 2nd rounders followed by BPA the rest of the draft.

I don’t know if any of our moves will make us more fun… they are all bolstering less than premium positions. but what they are doing is making a better football team. even the wide receiver we traded for isn’t exactly a game changer. I think he went 18 games without a touchdown being the Steelers #1 receiver. and I’m completely fine with all of that. The fun will come when Bryce silences his critics

Trading down for value seems like the right choice with our current roster. however, this trade shouldn’t happen until the end of day1 of the draft. See how things play out and we then have a full night to look at our board. If the board falls favorable, make the trade. If it doesn’t, stick where you are and pull the trigger. We need to guarantee getting 2 starters from the second round. How that happens I’ll leave it up to them.

Justin Simmons would be an upgrade and perfect for the system. Not sure if money works but don’t know why we’d do this if there wasn’t a plan already in place… he was more than serviceable last year

Agreed he either needs to be paid or tagged and traded. The comment was a huge red flag on his effort. I don’t completely blame him but basically admitting you weren’t giving it your all doesn’t help anyone. Can’t deal with another year of that.

Isn’t Josina the one that just guaranteed belicheck was going to be atlantas next head coach? She seems to be well sourced

@Verge everyone and their mother has the panthers picking a WR. Any thoughts/insights on what would be the pick if we end up deciding that WR isn’t a good value at our first pick?

Many reasons to sign him. However, first and foremost, he deserves to get paid because he is not Isaiah Simmons. maybe the only smart decision we’ve made in the draft in the past 4 years.

Dj moore was our bust insurance. Instead of giving a 3rd first rounder we gave a player up. If Bryce stinks again we are picking at the top of the draft next year and can try again at drafting our qb.

Just 1 factor of about 40 that led to our team being undoubtedly the worst in the league. everything needs fixing. The only way to do that is to start chipping away. a GM that can actually draft nfl caliber players is priority #1. A coach that can actually use these players is #2. after that, say a prayer.

Dan cambell without a doubt for hc. get the braniac for GM.

What does Joe’s athleticism have anything to do with this??

Pretty sure players have openly questioned his ability. I’ll pass. Too many better suited head coaches

The hornets and panthers did the exact same thing on their last coaching search. They lost out on who they wanted then panicked and hired someone safe. if tepper throws the bag at his first choice and doesn’t have to settle for his second, maybe it worked this time. Or maybe he hires matt Rhule again. If it was easy so many people wouldn’t fail at it. the blueprint he wants seems clear and based on learning from past mistakes. Offensive minded with nfl experience.

Chubba seems decisive and accelerates through the hole. every time miles sanders gets the ball all I see is someone trying to juke a defender that’s not even there and never gets going, making it easy to be tackled the second he gets hit.

The world needs more ditch diggers. not everyone can be the boss. You need defined roles and individuals willing to excel in that role. It is obvious we had a bunch of egos all looking out for themselves and not enough team first personnel. I blame tepper for this and not Frank. And I don’t think Reich had the personality to realign once things started spinning out of control. seems like a pretty easy lesson to learn. Hopefully tepper can see the writing on the wall that’s staring him in the face.

Joking aside this does give me hope. His durability was a HUGE question coming into the season and he passed that test with flying colors. im holding out hope that his issues are 100% coaching and if we find someone to teach him how to be an nfl qb he can become a field general. his arm strength looks horrible. But someone that knows exactly where to go with the ball can be fine without having a cannon.
