There were two games that could have been wins for the Panthers. The Tampa Bay and Kansas City game could have been 2 more wins. That would have been 7-9 for the year. I do not think 8-9 wins is unreasonable at all. I am more concerned about the progression of the defense than Bryce.

The fact that he had a poor line shortened his career.

Truth!

I so want this to be true.

I have read different articles that rated the Panthers draft as A, B, and then D. The D was due to the fact that the first pick was not defense. Not much credit for the picks we made in the following rounds. I see people talking about how well the Falcons did. I disagree. They traded next years #1, and only have 6 picks next year. The fact that we got the players we did and still have all of next years picks is huge. One big thing is that we finally are through with the picks we gave for Bryce. I agree that we had a good draft, hopefully we will be proven correct.

I hope we are not giving up on XL. He will improve.

I do believe Tepper let Morgan and Canales handle it.

Penalty free football is notable.

Dowdy is on a one year contract too.

That is my thinking unless a trade is upcoming. Remember Rico Dowdle is on a one year contract. After the first three rounds I will trust them.

This is Bryce’s team to grow with. No need to introduce someone that will not be satisfied with sitting and learning.

The Charlotte Hornets issue with Miles Bridges domestic assault charges alienated a lot of fans in Charlotte. Even though there is no connection to the Panthers the fan base is the same. Not worth the risk.

Accused of sexual assault twice. We got the best, safest pick.

I would take a repeat of #9.

As many bad decisions the Panthers have made in the last 5 years I am so thankful we did not end up with Derek Carr or Deshaun Watson.
