I'm not saying he needs top 10 at every spot. At any spot. I'm merely saying he needs a pass catcher out of the backfield and slot/TE play with YAC ability. Been saying it since the moment drafted Bryce. my main gripe of the Panthers under Dave is lack of a vision. It's the random parts approach. Somehow be good despite little going together. We need some small ball players.

I think it will be a hard pick to trade out of and not get a bad deal. I think the better value is the middle or late in the first round.

agree w/ others on 2013 being way too low. Only 5 picks and you basically landed what were 2 of the better DTs in the league in the years to follow plus a solid LB. That's the only class I was drastically move up. Rest would be nitpicky.

Kelce, Olsen, Witten etc ain’t getting open for winning the genetic lottery either (not by NFL standards). me wanting Warren has a lot to do with the fact we got Bryce Young and the glaring needs he needs to be successful. And Dave is flat out going to have to migrate to new views on passing (which I think he can). But we will stay a bottom tier pass attack unless the weapons and calls change. I don’t care to barely compete with a great run attack and great D in today’s NFL. You got to build your O around your QB to really compete and be something on O in today’s NFL

AT contemplated retirement this offseason and missed 7 games last year. The fact he our featured pass catcher pending we don’t see some one emerge remains scary. AT should be a 3rd option at most. Offense is still a priority IMO given we have to still build even an average pass O (which we weren’t last year). Way too much “we are a defense away” talk going on.

Bryce wasn't even cracking an average of 200 yards per game in regulation to close out the year. We were 30th in passing yards on the season. He made great strides vs his rookie year. Glaring change. But that was glaring simply because of how historically bad his rookie year was. We are still a bad passing offense. 2024 was a bad passing O. I'm not buying whatever stat twisting was done to come up w/ Bryce was one of the best deep passers in the league. I still think it's simple. You want Bryce to succeed? You need pass catchers out of the backfield. You need slot/TE play. You need YAC. You need him to be what you drafted him to be. We were way below average in terms of production out of the backfield. We were way below average in terms of YAC. Dreaming up we can somehow make Bryce some chunk play passer downfield is not something worth bothering with. Trade him if you don't want build around the dude you mortgaged our future on. Keep him and play to his strengths. I don't care which one. But pick. I give them a pass going into last year of things conflicting. Now you got to pick IMO.

All TEs on the roster aren't supposed to lean toward recieving weapons. I got no issue with Tremble. But he is what he is. Tremble is there to aid w/ the run game. Panthers spent a trillion dollars all things considered on Bryce Young. Last year they got a surprise from him. Worst thing they can do is stick with square peg/round hole mindset that Bryce has to fit something no one would ever have argued he would/should be in. So I'm sticking w/ my same position. You got to greatly improve at two spots at Bryce is your QB. Middle of the field and out of the backfield. The short pass game. If you weren't interested in that.....then you should of never of drafted Bryce Young let alone given up the farm for him. And majority of the people at BOA signed up for the Bryce Young project.

well, it's not balls out.....to address the fact all we got over the middle of the field is slow AT. I'm sure the old slow guy that was about to retire after last year and missed 7 games....is a poor bet to make going forward. Cupboard is pretty bare in terms of guys who fit the bill of getting the ball out quick to. I don't like Bryce. But I have said since the day we drafted him....you got to get him receiving talent otu of the backfield and slot/TE play. Otherwise, what's the real point.

That's dumb though. It just means you have a HC that won't/can't adjust to win. That's dinosaur behavior. and it also means, you should of just moved on from Bryce Young last year and this whole thing is just going to be a waste of time. Bryce Young just flat out doesn't fit that mold of QB play. I personally don't think Canales is that bad and stubborn. I think going into last season he basically conceded they would move on from Bryce. But now? Well, now he has a job to do. Best plan of action is to continue down the path of him being a QB guru.....not an old head stuck to football has to be played one way.

our biggest need is still developing and answering the QB question.

if Bryce Young is going to be your QB......the O simply has to cater to what he does well and doesn't. What Canales did in Tampa and Seattle isn't Bryce Young. It was home run football downfield.

Bryce needs much better slot/middle of the field and backfield receivers. That's basically his game. I still say XL was picked back when 99% thought we were moving on from Bryce Young in short order. XL fits what Canales did in Seattle and Tampa. Still need that role in any offense but all the bread and butter Bryce throws need upgrades.

Warren had more offensive production last season than both Pitts and Hockenson had in their entire college careers. I mean, it's not weird that after THAT dominant of a season, all eyes are on Warren. The other guy you mentioned, was the best TE in the NFL last year.

Warren has a shot to be top 10 in TE rec yards year 1. Guess we can debate what really makes a TE a TE given the ugly work that doesn't show on a stat sheet but definitely offensive production last year a rookie was #1 a rookie has been in the top 10 in 3 of the last 4 years in offensive production. and most years in the last decade features a top 10 rec yard TE in year 2. RB, WR, and TEs in today's NFL are pretty much instant productions positions (year 1 or 2) if you hit on a stud. *pending there isn't some type of Jimmy Clausen issue where the QB just kills functional O

I was right about Luke Kuechly. Not just the pick but bring right on the player he would be. Same for Cam. Which voids all my wrong 439402 picks and player projections that were disasters. Some people don't get that. It's just math. 2 > 439402

just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick

since Morgan has been in the building, the best draft pick has a been a 4th round RB driven by Matt Rhule's wife. Granted, you can't judge a lot of stuff yet but it hasn't been good. I'd like Warren. Take good football players. People trying to be smart and win in trades more times than not leaves you looking dumb. To date, we have seen more Ls than Ws w/ our draft pick trading.

Charlotte FC moved to 5-0 (best in the MLS) at the Bank Saturday night! if you aren't watching, this is the best team Charlotte has to offer right now. Worth the watch!

13-11 no top 25 finishes best finish in a weak conference was 4th ...and getting your jersey retired as a QB the following year

I largely remain a fan of not trading up nor down in drafts.....and just using your picks to draft the best player. Almost every time they go up or down I feel they lose more times than not.

the most important aspect of the rebuild is the QB....and that working out is more dependent on the OL than anything else. We just saw that play out. And Bryce is still a work in progress that we hope to get right.

after sleepwalking for the entire game, they sure did come alive in the final 10 minutes Saturday. Charlotte FC is the best Charlotte team to follow at this point over the Panthers and Hornets. Team in general is fun to watch and you gotta like overall what they have done w/ building up this roster.

and somehow Dan Morgan has gotten a pass for his involvement in how we got here. I mean, yeah, Dan threw big time cash at some guards last offseason. Any GM can pull of that. The drafting since Morgan and most of his crew have been in the mix has been subpar to date. I mean, can't fully judge them but clearly no early homeruns like you see around the league. best draft pick to date while Morgan has been on board was a 4th round RB.

Decent listen. He talks about the Legend of Luke a bit (being so dedicated he didn't have a TV), 2015 season, guys he played w/ in Carolina. It's Luke, so there is nothing Earth shattering but it's not bad to plug in for a car ride home.

I think that option has run it's course. I think that spot is best used for longshot with bigger potential. We pretty much know him pretty well at this point.
