Whatever we do, I hope it is Fitterer and his staff making the pick rather than Tepper. It rarely ends well when owners that have zero scouting experience start making personnel decisions.

Landing a franchise QB in the draft is such a toss up and is so important because QB salaries are outrageous now and getting a franchise QB on a rookie deal is such a big deal because you can overpay at other positions.

No we'll see how good of a offensive guru Brady is. Darnold is probably the same risk as any of the QBs in the draft not named Trevor Lawrence.

So we still have Teddy or did we unload him? If we unloaded him, I like the trade and if not, we have two average to below average QBs on our roster.

I'd trade a 3rd or 4th all day long for Darnold. Teams strike out all the time with 3/4th round picks and this is part of the game. If Darnold is a flop, we haven't given up much for him. I'd probably trade for him and still pursue one of the other QBs in the draft and have Darnold be our back up plan. You can't win in this league without a stud QB.

Dig around and find the articles/quotes from Rhule and Brady on Bridgewater. They were big time in on him and very concerning to me. The delayed firings for Rivera and Hurney made zero sense to me. Everyone knew they were gone and we had a lame duck period that was wasted time.

I'm reserving judgment until Tepper has been around longer. So far I'm not a fan and I think the coaches he hired were a mistake and also keeping Hurney around was a huge mistake. Rhule and Brady were very high on Bridgewater and that is very concerning to me. They all talk big and I'm ready to see some results.

This is bad. When there is smoke there is fire. I’ll let it play out but this does not look good at all.

Agree and people forget that this signing came right around the same time that Kuechly retired out of nowhere. Panthers were desperate at LB and clearly overpaid and probably knew it at the moment.

Shaq is a solid LB. He isn't worth what we are paying him, but this isn't his fault. I'm sure Huddlers would decline a big raise and promotion at their job if they weren't up to the task.

Cam should have and this would not have gotten any air time. Generally Cam is very good with this type of thing and Cam Newton doesn't have to answer to anyone, especially some kid. His career and pocket book speaks for itself.

I'd take Russell Wilson in a heartbeat, but he's isn't going anywhere. I wonder if Lawrence is the cheaper option assuming that Jax would even consider this and also assuming our staff thinks Lawrence is a franchise QB.

Who cares and why are people giving this kid attention because attention is exactly what he wanted.

Fans really think the Tepper era Panthers are doing great things?

Also, I’d love to keep Bridgewater in Carolina, but as a back up. He strikes me as the kind of guy that probably realizes his future in the NFL is as a back up.

Tepper is getting inpatient, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. No one is talking about Gardner Minshew. He would not be expensive and would be a very nice consolation prize if we don’t land Watson.

I use to think that you couldn't buy a championship in the NFL with all the players required and salary cap, but the Bucs pretty much just did this so I guess it is doable now. Tepper is ready to make a splash and we've all been waiting on this for years. Take a seat and grab some popcorn because we are about to see the aggressive Panthers that we've all dreamt about and let's see how it plays out in real life.

I thought this celebration was awesome and hilarious. Good for Brady.

I hate when I'm correct. Cam can't win the big games.

Coleman just got owned...that is so bad. Cam is killing us...game should be tied.

he looks far worse than Pep. Addison looks like he's shot out of a cannon compared to Allen. Also, Allen has quit on several plays. Not good.

Allen looks slow, very slow. Let's hope he's adjusting.

We look bad, but only one starter on our dline is playing tonight.

2nd place is the 1st loser. That's how I was raised.

Some guys don't want to move beyond being a position coach and maybe Proehl is one of those guys.
