Matt Corrall….

As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did. At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB.

Watch them overpay for a 30 year old DE. They trade Burns and only get a 2nd because they did not want to pay him $30m per year…:and now only 12-months later , they are exploring the possibility of paying a 30+ year old DE this much plus give away draft picks. Sounds like a Tepper Panthers move.

Perhaps Bryce has been watching too much of the media hype about what a great turnaround he had last year.

Let’s hope this continues. The Panthers need solid depth in the secondary especially with Horns injury history.

Wonder why they have not resigned Pinero and added him to the PK competition. Not saying he should have the job but only having a rookie and another dude that has been on several teams does not seem like a fantastic plan.

The Panthers should have never let him go....they chose Shaq over him which was a mistake.

Or Eric Shelton....another 2nd rounder in Panthers legacy.

For one thing, he will be 33 in July. I think they want to go 'full youth' where possible.

Reports were said that the Panthers were trying to trade him right before the draft so this really isn’t too surprising

Losing Derrick Brown last year was devasting to the defense, however, I also think losing Luvu was too. I like the focus on the D-line during free agency and the draft, however, I would like to see the Panthers pick up a few more LB to battle it out during camp. I still don't think this is a position of strength.

It was encouraging that Bryce was benched last year when he was not getting it done. This gave me hope that Canales and Morgan have the stones to do the right thing about him going forward. If he does not progress this season the Panthers should look to draft a new QB in the 2026 draft. I really hope BY is the answer. He has no excuses this year.

If I recall correctly the Chicago 2nd round pick at 39 is the Panthers via the BY trade….is this correct?

Maybe Morgan plans to suit up.
