Yep. DC is in denial too. I want whatever they're smokin cuz it's some seriously good poo.

Or Spirit Halloween

So RB, S and LS

I think he's given up. No quality picks spent on defense the past 3 years. No spending on defense the past 3 years. Offense that can't fight its way out of a wet paper bag. No help. No hope. The worst owner in the history of sports at the helm. Kind of reminds me of Reich. Just waiting for the axe to fall and keep cashing that paycheck.

Kept on the sidelines for in between series.

I wanted an offensive guy, but that guy for damn sure wasn't Frank Reich. I wanted Steichen or Ben Johnson. If we did go defense, I wanted to take a hard look at Ryans or Wilks. Can't ever remember thinking, damn I wish we had some of that Indy offense here in Carolina.

School Players Drafted Alabama 10 Georgia 10 Florida 6 LSU 6 Tennessee 5 Auburn 5 South Carolina 5 Ole Miss 4 Kentucky 3 Texas A&M 3 Arkansas 2 Mississippi State 2 So 2 of the 16 SEC schools represent 1/3 of the players drafted in the 2023 draft from the conference. That's a high concentration of talent in 2 places. So assuming he's facing 1 to 2 NFL draft caliber players, he's also playing with 4 others on offense, plus 5 on defense, not counting the other classes, averaged. He definitely had it easier playing at Bama than "Playing in the SEC" would suggest.

He wasn't. It was the result of media hype and that stupid S2 test. Stroud always made the most sense from a logical perspective trading up. AR was far too raw, Bryce had to defy the lack of 50 years of NFL QB success for someone with his measurables. It was a feel good story for a guy from a program that had more talent than anyone else they played week in and week out, and our cosplay NFL exec owners fell for it hook line and sinker.

And of those 62, 10 (17%) were from Alabama.

I wanted Slater in the 1st after we just missed out on Sewell. His film showed he could handle elite pass rushers even though his arms were an inch shorter than ideal which is why Rhule wouldn't even consider him. All pro as a rookie. And I'm with you that we should have taken CH in the 2nd. the 2 most important positions on the line solidified for a decade. Nothing against Horn, but you take a franchise LT when they're sitting in front of you, and Slater was clearly that. And the even more sad part is my homer Wolverine pick in the 3rd was Nico Collins. I didn't think he would turn into what he has, but for a 3rd rounder, I wouldn't have hesitated in the slightest. We've been trying to outsmart the room for years and we look really stupid. Horn, TMJ, BC or Slater, Creed, Collins. Completely different offense if we had done something so simple.

I dont know if he would have been able to negotiate a deal like that or not, but I think even a pitiful GM would have been able to move up 8 spots with 3 1sts and 2 2nds, of course Fittershits would have used ours instead of theirs. The deal bothers me because it's just one more instance of Tepper putting unqualified people at the helm and I don't think Morgan is really any different. It's still RAS scores, athleticism and unrealized potential instead of guys that can just play football. Good candidates don't want to come here. Tepper may be out of the building but I have no doubt his influence is still very much in place.

It ain't worth the price of parking.

Diamond Dave would give up 3 1sts to move up to 1 to draft a RB. We're going 0-17 with DC, Evero and BY. This the worst Panthers team I've ever seen, including the one run by the corpse of George Seifert.

2 1sts and a 2nd for an edge rusher that is barely pro bowl material much less all pro. The offer we got from the Rams was more than the offer for Parsons. You take that offer and run every day. And yes, those picks would have made a difference to a GM with half a brain. The trade package could have changed and kept Moore. The offer could have been 9, and the Rams 2 1sts for 1. Then the following year we still have our one, which we can either use to draft Daniels after the colossal turd of a rookie year Bryce had (Rosen with Az), or trade it for a collection of picks ourselves. Trading Burns gave us options, because without a QB, building around a pass rusher thats piss poor against the run for all pro money just doesn't make much sense. Burns was Hassan Reddick with the Spiderman gimmick. He was never JJ, TJ, Reggie, Peppers, Miller, Garrett. Those are guys you build.a defense around.

Especially on the oline. You have to invest consistently. Teams almost need a couple extra spots to roster just because of the frequency of injuries now.

I've been saying it for years. The line starts in the middle. Kalil showed us that. Draft our center. Solidify the position for a decade. Move on.

I think one of the contributing factors was he was not playing against NFL caliber level players every position, every down, every week. Alabama had an advantage most weeks on the field. In the NFL that gap in talent is much smaller, and that makes judging the ability for college players to transition to the NFL so much harder.

Ill be dead before the Panthers reach 183 wins under Tepper.

You're not getting anything. Bench him and be done.

Like I said I'm no fan of Evero or his defense, but even if he ran the best defense in the NFL, 3 points is more than our offense can overcome outside of garbage time. He should have been fired last year. No matter who you have as DC is going to have the same problem. Giving up a single touchdown is more than your offense can overcome, and its hard to motivate yourself or your players when you're constantly put in that position.

Bryce is having dinner with the Teppers on Wednesday. 4 year/220m contract extension incoming.

I'm no Evero fan, but if your defense cant give up more than 3 points without seriously being at risk of losing the game, wtf are you supposed to do? Damn near every resource has been spent on offense and we cant put more than 6 points on the board when it isn't garbage time? If we had the 85 Bears defense we would still be losing because our offense is fuging pathetic.

SWW for next GM. 3 days with Willie and Snoop Dogg and I could still build a better roster than this.

Maybe theres a 5'6" qb coming out next year that can break all the molds...
