This Panthers roster was never built for an identity. Reich defined the Panthers as 0-0 every week. 0 wins is acceptable.

It comes down to precision body control and agility at the NFL level. You must get the body around to get the hands on the ball at the last second. Outside of Adam Thielen, Josh Vann was the only other WR with this ability, but he didn't have the ball thrown his way much and was overlooked. Strength & Hands are the 2nd and 3rd qualities. Mingo is strong, but he lacks top level agility & hands. TMJ isn't an NFL WR. Chark is just another deep threat/speedster. Hips, shoulders & feet for the NFL. Not as important in college. Panthers talent evaluation is awful.

Ridder is .500 as a starter in his first 10 games. Not even a full season. 4 of the 5 wins have been GWD by Ridder. That means his coaches, defense & running game failed while putting it on his shoulders. 4/9 GWD is 44.4%. Mahomes is 46.9%. Brady is 41.4%. The other NFC South QBs are Carr 28.5%, Mayfield 18.4% & Young 0.0%. Former Panther QBs are Darnold 12.8%, Walker 25.0%, Bridgewater 18.0%, Allen 7.7%, Newton 22.5%, Clausen 0.0%, Delhomme 37.5%, Testaverde 21.0%, Peete 25%, Weinke 5.3%, Beuerlein 22.5% & Collins 23.3%. The QB room coaches/players are Reich 11.8%, McCown 11.7% & Dalton 26.6%. Bad QBs are below 10%, Average QBs are 10% to 20%. Good QBs are 20 to 25%. Playoff QBs are 25% to 30%. Championship QBs are 30% to 40%. Elite QBs are 40%+. You will know a QBs value at 20 GWD opportunities. The best QBs in the NFL with careers that stretch a decade are lucky to get 100 GWD opportunities. Carr, Testaverde, Collins & Dalton are among the top 25 QBs of all time when it comes to GWD. Delhomme is tied for 34th. This will give you perspective to the quick & brutal path of an NFL QB. Young is already 25% of the way to his final evaluation. To pace, I expect at least 1 GWD every 5 opportunities (even for rookies). A QB is expendable if they don't keep this pace. Young is not keeping pace with Carr or Dalton as rookie QBs. He is not keeping pace with any of the QBs in their rookie seasons listed above - even expansion & worst teams in NFL history. The hope is he turns it around quick because it's not a pit QBs will dig themselves out of in the NFL. Winners always show themselves capable early in their career when they still struggle.

He's proven he knows how to lose games last year and this year. Who wouldn't want that as their HC?

They just ran around Ickey on both sides

Also have the most pathetic run defense in NFL history. Are you going to tout that?

When do we retire Evero?

It was a good 1st quarter. Highlight of the season.

Evero defense with the lead is just awful

No Thielen. No drive.

Mingo sighting!

He's making business decisions

That defense fell apart. Mental errors.

Is Miami the first defense who decided not to take Thielen out of the game? They're just bracketing him.

Excellent route & hands by Thielen

Reich decided to go with Wilks ball. Stack the OL & run to Ekwonu

Chuba just running behind Ekwonu

Ekwonu makes up for the sack. This his TD. Great run blocker! Just poo in the passing game.

They just need to move him to guard. If the Panthers don't, another team will after his rookie contract.

An Ekwonu special. BYRON bell available?

Reich was never anything special, but he can win in the NFL. Reich is a grade below Rivera. So, why is a coach who can win in the NFL struggling so badly? The answer is the worst roster building in the NFL. Andy Dalton? Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard? Ian Thomas, Hayden Hurst, and Tommy Tremble? TMJ, Chark, Shenault with their route running and hands? No OL depth. A LT who can't protect the blindside? You expected an entire offense designed around an above average but overvalued rookie QB & Adam Thielen to produce wins? Draft capital wasted. Opportunities missed. Key players tossed for nothing special. Fitterer is building rosters for other NFC teams. Reich has no chance to look like his normal self and be a mediocre winning coach.

This has been the issue all offseason. Wasting roster spots. Roster building fail since day 1 of the offseason.

The sooner the better

Unfortunately, we have to watch people get paid millions to destroy a roster and waste draft capital.

You could replace the Panthers with the better teams in the USFL/XFL & the Panthers would easily be better than the 2022 Panthers under Wilks. The Panthers are easily replaceable with Fitterer in control of the roster. He's worse than Rhule at building a team.
