Paradis and Bozeman. Forgot about those dudes. Trauma response? Probably.

Agree. They absolutely need to build a more complete roster. But let's also acknowledge that they had the worst pass blocking interior oline in the NFL, and a receiving group highlighted by a 33 years old possession receiver. Those areas needed to be addressed for whoever you put back there. But agree with their approach after the 2023 season. You should do everything in your power to give the #1 pick in the draft every opportunity to succeed (maybe not panic spend for OGs). Particularly if you mortgage the farm to go up and get him. Not sure if it was saving face as much as improving a very bad roster. Now do I think they should have gone up to get Bryce (or CJ or anyone) in 2023? Heck no.

You could be right but which position groups are better in Carolina? Maybe secondary with the upgraded version of Mike Jackson? Maybe WRs at the end of the season? DBs - CAR close ILBs - BUF not close DL - BUF close. CAR advantage interior DL. BUF advantage pass rushers Receivers - CAR really close. CAR WR at the end of season with Jalen Coker - not before. BUF TEs by a large margin. RBs - BUF not close OL - BUF not close

I hear you. But I 100% agree the oline needed to be improved from 2023. That was a complete disaster. They were gonna get someone killed out there. Heck, Dalton had a great game against Seattle that year, but there's no way he could have lasted a season behind that group. Seattle wasn't even particularly good and they had several HUGE hits on him the entire game. Now did Dan need to go out and spend the farm on OGs? That was probably a bit of an overreaction. Time to start replacing that whole group with draft picks. None of them are worth the money they're being paid. Not saying they aren't good players. Just that they're all overpaid. Sans whoever we march out there at Center.

I don't know... Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, Christian Kirk and Dalton Schultz aren't bad. I'd definitely take that over Carolina's group. We have a few good young individuals, but no real veteran presence. That squad is gonna be bonkers, particularly when Nico and Tank return.

I think the last 2 seasons have been good examples of why you don't spend heavy in FA. Lewis and Hunt are good players, but they certainly haven't transformed the oline into the juggernaut we thought it'd be. They're ok. Wharton, Patrick Jones and Bobby Brown have been good in spots. But they didn't transform the Dline into some unmovable force. And all of the above have been bitten by the injury bug. Maybe a pass rush specialist for 3rd downs only. That seems to be the biggest problem with the defense - getting off the field on 3rd down, no matter the distance. Well that and the DC backing the secondary 10 yards past the first down marker. Bring in a starter level ILB and a pass rush specialist on defense. Bring in a speed WR on offense and quality oline depth, particularly interior oline. Draft BPA. Every position is open. Even QB. Hate to put all our eggs into the Hendrickson basket, forego all the other needs, and then he gets injured. I agree he could make the team better, but I'm the guy that would rather have two or three 7s, than one 10.

Respect!

They can realistically pick up future interior linemen on day 3. They have 1 pick in the 4th and 2 picks in the 5th. Prime time to pick up quality drops at interior oline. Grab another starter level guard or two in FA. Like old vets on a one year deal.

Nah it's really all on you. So I should have said I know Ravens and Cowboys fans that want to get rid of their QBs, but... just in case you think I'm saying our QB is as good as them, I'm not. But just in case you do. I'm not. Even though I didn't say he is or even alluded to it. Oh and just in case, I don't think Dalton is better either. But I want you to know just in case you think that's what I meant. That doesn't even make sense. And if you can't see that you're looking for reasons to be confrontational, then I give even less poo. Enjoy the team or be in your feelings all the time. That's on you. Only you.

Which part? The part that you're a douche, or the part that half of you are A holes?

So me saying I know fans that want to get rid of Lamar and Dak should be interpreted as I think Bryce is as good as them? Okie dokie.

Dude, you are such a douche. I mean wow! I live near Baltimore and date someone that lives there so I interact with their fans pretty often. You all are the only Panthers fans I ever get to talk to. And half of you are A holes. Yes, I mean you.

Is that true? Wow. Didn't think it was that many. But how many were never HCs before and only had 1 season of calling plays?

Come on man. You're trying too hard. The point was if fans of teams with those much better QBs want to get rid of them, then of course there are Carolina fans that would want to get rid of Bryce. I was genuinely surprised by that, but no one in the world would put Bryce Young on the same level of Lamar or Dak. There really are only a couple of teams that don't have fans that want to replace their QB.

Agree. Rather see a young guy get his tail handed to him than an old vet. At least there's hope with the youngster.
