Nick Scott, Im not the biggest fan of. He was decent vs the Rams but I think Byrce has probably had double the amount of good games he's had...which says alot alone. Decent player at times, below average most of the time. He's upgradable as he's still one of our weaknesses on D. Knows the scheme, communicates well and a great locker room guy though.

He's good but we definitely overpaid. I think his biggest problem is positional. Good dude, alotta heart, tough as hell but he should never be inserted at nose tackle. He'd be more effective in a 43.

1 Oline breakdown: Ickey: 4 Years @ 28 Million (last year of deal) Damien Lewis: 4 Years @ 53 million (2 years left) Austin Corbett: 1 Year @ 3 million (last year of deal) Cade Mays: 1 Year @ 3.4 million (last year) Robert Hunt: 5 Year @ 100 million (3 years left) Taylor Moton: 2 Year @ 44 million ( 1 year left) After looking at the above...the crystal ball is saying we'll probably draft a RT and sit'em a year while Moton works off his last year. Mays will be resigned and Corbett might get yet another year here. As much $$ as we put in that Oline, I don't think the dline is too far behind. Brown, Wharton, Bobby Brown and Robinson alone probably combine for close to 200 mil.. lol yea restructure and paycuts will probably be coming soon

Aiight... 1st... Dowdle is good and all but I don't think he's getting a long term contract here. Noone seems to remember how good Chubba actually was before that injury. I do think he's actually the better back "for us" in the long run. Go back to the first quarter of the season and watch them split carries. 2nd.. JT Sanders is still an unknown imo. He shouldn't have dropped that weight in the offseason. Tremble should be the floor at what we want in a TE. Edge will definitely be on the radar again. If we want results quickly then free agency is our best option. Scourtin and Princely still need a couple of years to develop. ILB should be upgradable. Wallace and Rozeboom are usable but can be upgraded. I do like Wallace though. The Oline is getting too expensive to be sustainable unless we get another QB on a rookie contract. Moton is coming to his end and Icky would fit in nicely as a replacement. With as much $ as we already have on the line though, that would leave LT needing to br addressed. If I'm Morgan @ draft time I'm looking at Tackle(Moton insurance), MLB, FS, CB and QB. Guard/Center depth also. Probably in that order too, maybe take ILB in the first and RT 2nd. TE and OLB should be targeted in free agency as we need the experience.... + Add a backup QB.

Gotta say, Im impressed with Tmac as is. Coker, I'm excited for his development. Legette is fuggin with my mind though. He has all the potential in the world but just cant seem to lock in. Hopefully that switch flips and he has a resurgence similar to his last year at South Carolina. Worst case, we got another guy who I think needs more snaps... Tremayne. Hell of a blocker... should be a Panther longer than most expect. Back to the OP, we'll see if he gets OROY but I do like him more than rookie DJ and Kelvin at this point.

Frank looked depressed after our first 2 games... Iirc I thought his playbook was just extremely outdated...not actually 100% accurate.

I never heard of this. Iirc he said something during his training about he's willing to play but still wanted more of a commitment from the FO.

That's the thing, we don't know what the peak of this team actually looks like. We've seen glimpses though. Frustrating it is, but as soon as I saw that stat of Bryce's record with and without Mays at C I already knew what was coming. Our gameplan just made it hit worse. I don't even trust Canales with depth chart management. His play designs are good at times but his situational awareness to call said plays is approaching nonexistent territory. Sad thing is if we pull off two more wins we'll more than likely repeat this same process again next season but minus a Rico.

The best side... Mac & Cheese ofcourse.. Which pie 4 the team..idunno but which pie for our current QB.. after Monday night... a 4" undercooked mini pie that's too soft inside.

Kinda sounds like ping pong is being played in the background. Naaaah that can't be right.

Side note: Cmac is a HOF talent...although he couldn't stay healthy he did want to stay a Panther. And all the picks we got in return from his trade, I'd be willing to bet we pissed away.

Lol I dont even wanna imagine Canales's playcalling in the playoffs. Bryce "I have to better" Young throws for 79 yards and 3 ints on 50+ attempts. Chubba and Rico each combine for 3 carries after averaging 9 yards per. Endless possibilities.

2022-Panthers trade Mccaffrey. 2023- Panthers trade DJ Moore 2024- Panthers trade Brian Burns We brought in Bryce Young...exchanged a first and traded away the '24 first, which ended up being pick 1. That's 5 first rounders we mismanging in 3 years. Not to mention the 2's. Take those same 3 players n put them on our roster now and subtract Bryce. Add in Canales's dumb ass and give him either Sam Darnold or Baker...hell give him PJ Walker. Smdh...coulda, woulda, shoulda...

Watching that video what stood out to me was when he said something along the lines of "Everytime this happens coach takes responsibility" Sooooo my question now becomes, where tf is his common sense? .. DC holds hisself accountable for a week or two then reverts back. The more I think about it the more it gets under my skin. THIS is the same guy who in his introductory interview claimed he was so anxious to show the world just how stubborn he was with running the football?!?!? Nah bro Im pretty sure we've always had a "lack of run game" since he's been here. We have a rb with damn near half of 1k yards in 2 weeks and ultimately said fug it, let's see if Bryce can air it out lol..

Aiight Ima admit, I didn't watch the game...just tuned in every now n then... My biggest takeaway from that article: Rico only had 6 carries and Chubba 3 ?!?!? Please tell me that's a typo!!!! 9 carries for the night??... if so, that's a fireable offense. That's actually inexcusable.

I literally just put this in another thread. I added Chubba, Rico and Horn to the Moehrig, Cherelus, and Coker sentiment tho

Welp... Primetime... I fully expect Moehrig to show up for some reason. The wildcard is Cherelus. I'll be patiently anticipating the hits. And while he's not the best in coverage... a couple of those hits could have a bigger impact than you'd think. Kinda feels like a Rico/Horn/Moehrig type game imo... I get good vibes about Chubba and Coker as well.

Idunno..I hear u but nah put XL out there at wr1 and lettem try to learn it on the fly or Coker. At the very least if that is indeed the case and we actually think/know they can't do it then it makes that Thielen move look crazy AF in hindsight. . As 4 the 9ers...Dowdle or Tmac - letem pick their poison as to which one they'll deploy more resources into stopping. I just hope tonight isn't a real-time replay of our previous prime time games (minus the Color Rush game vs the Cowboys).

Tmac keeps this pace and he'll be our first OROY since Cam.

Yup... now where's the guy who said it wasn't logical for me to expect Tmac to pull in 1k yards... ???? Now imagine how many yards he'd have if Bryce played every other game like this, let alone a full season.

Us in '15 ..maybe not the Falcons game though.. but even as good as we were in '15 I dont remember us getting quite the recognition as we got this year being 5-4. Maybe it was our SOS that year, I do remember the "yall ain't played nobody yet" narrative.

31-17 Panthers 4-5 sacks. Brown, Wharton, Scourtin, Wallace and saxk + fumble by A'Shawn. 1 int.. Jaycee Horn usually turns it up a notch vs NO + Rookie Qb Dowdle, Tmac, and either XL or Coker score Byrce 2 TDs 143 yards Rico 125+ Int on an intended XL target... probably tipped by XL.

From a statistical POV: He's ranked 68th out of 90 safeties. From fan POV: Liability and probably the most complained about non-QB Panther on our roster. Bottom line: He might not be as bad as most think but he's definitely a below average starter at safety. He knows the system and he's a positive at ST though, I can give him that.

Scourtin, I have zero concern about. Not only is he physical but his particular work ethic paired with that motor already tells me what l I need to know. He needs the reps and more time to develop. Right now he's at his floor but he's going to be a monster once he gets comfortable. Wonnum should really be more of a depth peice imo..... also add Pat Jones to that list. We do need another starter opposite Nic. If the plan is to let him develop in that starting role then the other side needs somebody who can run stop and make an immediate impact w/ the pass rush.

Yea I dont think it's feasible with Bryce. Oddly similar to Cam's strength after his shoulder issue. I think we can work around it as it just is what it is at this point though. We'll 100% never see Bryce throw a PJ Walker type Hail Mary. But we can sustain 20's (anything in the 20's)... maybe mid 30's. Anything after that, we might as well kneel. Sidenote: Canales needs a Darnold-esque qb tbh.. closest we'll see of that is probably Dalton's Raiders game last season.
