Growl

but #1 overall picks still won’t have won a super bowl in X amount of seasons, why bother then? the team needs to move down, stockpile lots of interior linemen, and continue trying to show the nfl that it’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game that matters. I wanna see a team less focused on super bowl glory and more focused on trying to prove it can still be done the old way. hopefully we’ll get some rules changes that make the cap more powerful too, tired of seeing all these teams just ignore it, good financial sensibility should trump this “win at all cost” hysteria, this ain’t madden!!

he isn’t going to be very good, blimey lol

so just to be clear it’s actually a good idea to draft a QB high when “next year” comes but it’s systematically a bad idea now

nobody cares

nobody is dismayed, we’re just bored of this useless do-nothing take now that we’ve seen how flawed and fruitless the thought process is Panthers aren’t drafting a first round guard, defense doesn’t win championships.

Carr would be a plug and play top 3 QB in the conference, it says a lot about their draft plans that they don’t appear to be even considering him

it’s remarkable there’s still people trying to resist this

I hope he goes to the Saints or Falcons

Can’t miss? Huh? We’re talking about the draft.

the final domino before MrBeast buys the panthers

teams aren’t obsessing over prospects that aren’t QBs the first pick is for taking a QB or selling it to a team that wants a QB for a massive haul

I can’t think of any worse change they could’ve made than to just have these guys do a bunch of uninteresting and generic PE events i think the “game” is flag now like lol

with three 1’s you’re only giving up two players, especially palatable given how teams are no longer scared to make acquisitions through other means-which is even more feasible because your highest paid position is on his rookie contract

Other reports came with names. This one was a vague talking point that reads more like an article from the team website.

oh wow a report? a plan? offense?

the Dallas cowboys or Pittsburgh Steelers would never be asked to hire a coach they didn’t believe in or didn’t fit what they were looking for therein lies the problem: the media isn’t invested in seeing the panthers be successful. In their eyes the panthers exist to be a team that builds the ‘interesting’ teams up. It’s okay if the panthers don’t have a top coach that pushes them towards the super bowl because that isn’t the panthers place. The panthers should be less focused on rising above their station and more focused on helping the league have more coaches with black skin. learn your place

and you will be right there through it all insisting the best approach is the team play it safe and signs a cost efficient veteran to man the position until the next can’t miss generational prospect slides to us at #7 next season, or #9 in the following, or #8 after that, on and one forever and ever

I’ll take a swing at Shaw in Denver via the McCaffery/Denver/Stanford connection Idk maybe it’s Ryans though. Is Demeco really gonna hang the Texans out?

the panthers weren’t even swinging for great with the Reich hire, they were just overcorrecting on the Rhule debacle and wanted a guy who could install a formidable offensive infrastructure that can develop a rookie QB its a high floor scenario which could potentially yield great success if they knock the QB out of the park, but it isn’t some big swing on a superstar up and coming offensive mind Reich is more experienced than Wilks, he’s had much more success than Wilks had, he has more connections than Wilks has, and he has insight offensively there is nothing about Wilks’ career to guarantee “good,” and all the signs point to “concerning.” his way of coaching isn’t conducive to sustained success in the NFL, it’s conducive to beating up on bad teams and getting humiliated by good ones, and oh look, that’s exactly his track record (here, not in AZ where it was worse) ”but he didn’t have a QB” And doesn’t have the assets or resume’ to suggest he would develop one. ”why not just sign carr and POUND THE ROCK” because the goal is to win Super Bowls

get back to me when we find out who the QB is id like to believe both parties have learned from their previous approach but I also wouldn’t be surprised at all if their bonding moment in the interview was when Reich said “I believe in cost efficiency at the QB position” if we start hearing crap about jacoby Brisset we all know how this is going to go

“past narratives are not indicative of future success, let’s get Darnold away from Gase and see what happens”

lol I don’t care who Dave tepper thinks which guy is the right fit please continue to shill for the billionaire hedge fund manager a bit more though, I promise he cares nothing about you

why is this team consistently at the mercy of who manages to buddy it up with businessman outsider Dave tepper in the interview and not the individual with the strongest on field resume’

I was gonna make a thread prediction how it all played during the zenith of Payton hype and so far it looks like I’ve nailed it ->Payton hype fizzles then withers away ->Steichen emerges as favorite candidate, long enough for everyone to get excited ->team begins redirecting attention elsewhere in attempt to suppress expectations ->Hires Frank Reich shame I didn’t pull the trigger on posting it, so far it looks like it’s been spot on

which professional hiring firm has been brought in to handle these decisions so that the tepper family doesn’t have to watching the same people just lap up whatever propaganda is thrown their way because it’s their bit part to play despite the team’s almost unbreakable record of making the wrong decision is hilarious
