QB Quandary: 2024 Draft, FA Stopgap, or Stand Pat?
SmokinwithWilly replied to rayzor's topic in Carolina Panthers
If he has a sophomore slump, the only reason he will be playing is because of Tepper not wanting to admit a mistake, aka being a meddling owner, or we are tanking for the 25' 1st overall. If he's playing worse than he did this year and still starting, there's going to be a lot of money to be made betting against the Panthers. -
It's not that they were massively shorter, but they were playing against a much lower level of competition giving him pocket time he doesn't get in the NFL. The best defenders he faced on a weekly basis are now JAGs on every team. This isn't a slight increase in the competition level we're talking about and the difference is showing. I'm not sure what games you were watching, bit his lack of ability is pretty apparent. He isn't seeing NFL open receivers and he's not making the powerful throws necessary to drive the ball by planting his feet when he's hopping or throwing off his toes on nearly every pass. His footwork is atrocious and his urgency in the pocket is tortoise like. If I didn't know it and you told me that was the number 1 QB in the draft, I'd call BS because at best he looks like a late rounder or udfa right now. As far as the line goes, BC to LT, Icky to guard, competition at center and RG and Moton stays where he is. Go find someone mean and nasty in the draft or clone Norwell. And for fugs sake, design an offense that actually suits what our line does well.

NFL Playoffs Divisional Round - Games Thread
SmokinwithWilly replied to Bear Hands's topic in Carolina Panthers
Went back and reread the thread about Detroit hiring Campbell as HC. Some people were bagging on him pretty hard. I'd love to have him as our HC. He's turned the Lions around. -

He was there while we were out of it less than halfway through the season. Bag on him for a bad pick but at least he was there to throw it. -

Baker showing environment matters. Carolina is a sewer. -
Is it fair to call the Panthers a professional football "team"?

Raw Room - Ep 190 - Wounded Warriors Breath (ft Devin Funchess)
SmokinwithWilly replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
If I had to chose between the 4 to make a have to have TD catch, it would have been Bersin. He had hands of glue. If we could have put his fearlessness, work ethic and hands onto KB, that would have been something to see. -
Tidbits from Joe Person in The Athletic
SmokinwithWilly replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
You can demand it all you want, but we all know he'll back out for a couple of weeks and then get right back involved again. Even if he violates the contract and has to pay it off, there'd be enough NDA involved that your career trajectory would still be taking a nosedive. Poor decision making in taking a job can be just as damning as the job itself. -

Hitching your career to Tepper as a young(ish) coach is just a bad idea. Sure you can get a payday now, but likely your career is going to get flushed down the sewer and you're going to lose any real future opportunities in the league. We're going to end up with a coach that no one else wants looking for a retirement check before leaving the league for good. Tepper is a cancer that even his money can't fix. -
If You Could Choose ANY Head Coach... Who?
SmokinwithWilly replied to Jay Roosevelt's topic in Carolina Panthers
Two guys that have really been on the cutting edge of offense for a while. Hard to go wrong there. I really like Ryans too. Just the way his players talk about him is something else. -
The Panthers will be the first to hire a woman as GM. Nicole Tepper.
-
Dell was Stroud's choice. He wanted him, the Texans picked him.
-
Probably had a bad zoom interview with Tepper and we weren't interested.

Breaking, Ian Rapoport: Fitterer Fired
SmokinwithWilly replied to NJPanthers12's topic in Carolina Panthers
Also depends on who is selected with the draft picks we gave up and how their career path goes. -
He's gonna risk his career if he keeps this up.
-
Didn't want him canned but gotta be honest, was very fugging tired of losing to the brown eyes.
-
Don't forget the two 2nd round picks as well. It's possible BY won't even be on the roster by the time that last 2nd rounder rolls around.
-
They need to hit on that first round pick for QB.

is there a worse destination than Carolina for a GM or HC?
SmokinwithWilly replied to rayzor's topic in Carolina Panthers
Concerts. Lots of concerts. -

Everyone always jokes about how a fan could make a better choice. In Fitts case, I think that was absolutely truth.
