He's under contract and part of a winning organization that would likely beat the Panthers. I'd take Sage Surratt and Dee Anderson from that team over Mingo and TMJ. They have better RBs too than Sanders and Hubbard.

I wanted Ridder, Purdy, Glass and Coan to compete with Darnold last year. I wanted to surround the QB winner with Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore, Laviska Shenault, CMC and D'Onta Foreman. This year I would have added a couple TEs from the draft. So, it stings to see I was right, and the Panthers keep swinging and missing. 1st round QBs will always be overrated and you can find winners at QB in later rounds.

Desmond Ridder with another GWD? 4 on his career and 3 for 2023? 9 starts and 5 wins for Falcons. Good young QBs can carry an average to bad team. Need a front office who can spot the winners instead of leaning on 1st round QBs.

Young is really good against a soft umbrella defense

The Panthers were on par with the Lions under Wilks and Darnold. This is unacceptable regression by any standard.

The situation seems to be worse than I believed it would be. This is tough. Too many bad decisions led to the state of the franchise. On the verge of being an expansion team.

That looked easy for defense

It's a soft umbrella D. Lions are running down the clock already and waiting for Young to make mistakes

The Lions are just overloading the line and passing lanes

Evero needs to go

How many games is Bryce allowed to play this bad?

Jeff Lewis available?

They are challenging Young to win this with his arm. Thin coverage

Ikem dancing. Not blocking

Are you waivering on Fitterer's eye for talent?

Wilks > Evero

Evero for HC anyone?

Evero just planning on letting them in the redzone and then going for turnover. CHAMP D mindset

Evero ready for this game?

That was a messy drive

Ikem going to be tested

Trade for Cooper Kupp. Bye bye Burns. If Young can't succeed at moving/controlling the ball with Kupp, Thielen, Chark and Hurst while Sanders and Shenault are check downs from the backfield, then he won't make it in the NFL.

Young will be a good coach one day. I don't see him as an NFL QB with the style of play he has relied on for success. I'm still holding out some hope, but if he can't convert wins in the 4Q with coaches, running game, and defense giving him a shot to win the game with the final 2 to 3 drives, he won't make it. Currently, he's 0-3 in these GWD opportunities. 0-5 will shut the door on him being a championship level QB. Young QBs may struggle in games, but they still convert 20% to 30% GWD if they'rechampionship level - even on a bad team.

If Fitterer is still here, then Tepper is all talk and no brass.

My magic wand would take us back to 2013 and promote Brandon Beane to GM. As for keeping it more recent, I would go back to the 2022 off season. I detailed my targets in the offeseson. FIRE Rhule & Fitterer in January. Remove Chosen from the roster & never bring in Mayfield. Trade Brian Burns and Derrick Brown before the draft. Trade down to accumulate 10 to 12 draft picks. Hire a coach and GM that committed to build an offense around CMC, Brian Robinson Jr, Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore and Jelani Woods. Turn the picks from trading Burns & Brown into Devin Lloyd, George Karlaftis, Coby Bryant, and James Houston IV. Load up on overlooked/underrated QBs to compete with Darnold. Desmond Ridder, Aqeel Glass, Brock Purdy and Jack Coan. That's what I wanted. My magic wand doesn't seem to work. Maybe I can find a magic lamp.
