He broke the NCAA TD record which I think was all he wanted. This is just a guess.

Play calling is also better than last year. Look at AT’s separation last year vs this year. DC is drawing up plays to get him open as he should be. Hopefully we finally found ourselves a solid HC. As for XL, I’m not too worried. He has flashed some potential which is what I expected from him year 1. He was never going to be a plug and play WR.

Pretty sure that’s a borderline troll account. He has some spill about wanting us to draft Glass at QB several years ago and sign some UFL coach. He has been hating on the Panthers ever since…

These guys could be good but still have red flags. Carter for example is weak in run defense and this was his first year playing edge. T-Mac will come down to the combine and he would disappear in a lot of games. I feel like these guys would be reaches in the top 5 in most drafts.

He is just giving him credit for playing well in his first start. Hopes he can become depth for us. That doesn’t sound too ridiculous to me…

He played fine today. 3 TDs and 0 TOs. You also are ignoring his rushing yards. Our offense scored 36 points. Yeah Chuba was the game plan today but our whole offense played well.

Wallace from what I have seen still over pursues the ball carrier quite a bit. He wasn’t suppose to play this year and I think his issues are coachable. He has a lot of raw talent.

We beat a team that is considered better than us. It’s a confidence booster for this team. It helps them believe in what the staff is coaching. Again there really isn’t some premier player in this draft. I’ll take the wins. I hope we win the next 2 as well. The Cards were playing for a playoff spot and we outplayed them. That’s something to build on.

And we just started playing competitive football. Now look we beat a decent team. We can celebrate winning, it will be ok…

As fans we can hope for whatever we please. You don’t get to dictate what we want. Clearly a majority of us wanted a win…

It’s so crazy. If we had a shot for pick 1 and there was some generational player there then yeah maybe I could get behind the draft position argument. I’d say most GMs and coaches aren’t diving into the draft right now. They are trying to win games.

So bad teams should intentionally not win games that are winnable to get a better draft position? You can’t expect players on that team to be ok with this. They want to win, they want to look as good as possible to make as much money as possible. If we want to be a good team the first step is to have the good team mindset and not throw games for a better pick. I’m sorry but that is nonsense to me.

8 total tackles, a sack, a PD. He was one of the few I saw stop Conner in his tracks. Solid start for an undrafted rookie.

I just gave you an example with the Lions. We were so a win after playing all those close games. Good teams draft well despite their draft positioning. We were having trouble closing out games, today we learned how to do it. Our defense stepped up when they needed to and our offense finished them off. A complete team win. Go watch DC’s locker room search. Zero turnovers, a strong running game, and our defense stepped up and stopped the run in the second half. He wants that to be “Panther Football.” Good teams don’t worry about where they are drafting.

He has earned the right to be in our QB room next year with hopefully an even better roster. I’m also all for signing someone like Fields or drafting a mid round guy for depth/competition. Young has shown some growth in his development and hopefully that will continue. A plan B would do nothing but help us as well.

I doubt Campbell calculated all of that and decided to win lol. His job was to turn around that franchise. Getting wins helped change the culture. There really isn’t some blue chip player in this draft I’d want at 3/4 vs 7/8 anyway.

100%. Winning is how you fix the culture. Winning is how you get prime time games. Look at the Lions in Campbell’s first year. Their 3 wins came late week 13, 15, and 18. He could have given two shits about draft positioning.

At this point yes. There is no specific player we would be tanking for. We need to fix the culture.

Well it looks like some drugs might have been involved…

I’m pretty sure OP was fired up about Brooks when we drafted him…

I don’t doubt it, our staff apparently had a toxic environment and most were fired midseason. It’s hard to top that.

I’m not sure his roster is any better than Bryce’s was last year. NE is a pretty bad team. Coaching, sure he has more stability there.

It doesn’t work until it does. Reminds me of people claiming OSU QBs can’t translate to the NFL, until one did. Again if we are trading away a player we are cutting for a small chance at a WR working out it’s still a good thing IMO. I guess if you really are wanting to be negative about it, I’m sure it carried some salary cap with it. Definitely not my specialty though…

He was giving up on routes causing interceptions. Unfortunately he had to go…

I was just talking about it being low risk with some high reward potential. I consider those smart even if they don’t work out.
