Why is Jordan even out there?

See what you did there…nice

Great stuff. I’m truly excited for the season and it’s been awhile since I could say that. Thanks Mr Scot.

Yup. Cam was a freak of nature playmaker - measurable and athleticism off the charts and good enough to mask his lack of accuracy and mechanics. And a larger than life personality. Bryce is the antithesis of what Cam was. What he lacks in measurables and incredible showmanship he more than makes up for in processing and other intangibles. If we could somehow pair his brain with a player with Cam Newton’s physical prowess, we’d be scary as hell. I can’t wait to see this kid in action!

KC and Philly has a similar offensive philosophy. Sure you have your Devonte Smith, AJ Brown and Travis Kelsey all-pro receivers but these teams effectively spread the ball around to different backs and receivers to keep opposing defenses guessing. I can see the Panthers following suit at least to a degree under Reich.

Holy poo! Hornets making a statement. Now they need to commit to building this team around its best player.

Fitt made an interesting statement after they drafted Jammie Robinson: “We are one team. We stress that. There are no egos here…we’re never going to take a player and shove him down a coach’s throat or just because coaches want him. We want players the staff wants to coach.” This right here should get any Panthers’ fan fired up. Makes you wonder if this is what was happening under the previous regime. It appears the “square peg, round hole” days are over! I also like that Fitt, Reich and staff are not afraid to embrace players that have an edge, that “dog” mentality. Can’t wait ‘til the season starts!

It’s no use man. You can’t reason with the Scoot fans at this point. And I get it… Scoot will be a great player but it doesn’t mean Miller won’t be either. The off field stuff is just an excuse for the pro-Scoot crowd to hate on the pick.

Give Tepper credit for encouraging their retention by the new staff. Both are outstanding coaches.

Yeah but you can’t really blame him. McDaniels is a douche to play for it seems.

Looking forward to his contribution to the defense. One question - why is he missing from the roster on the Panthers’ website?

Exactly. If we had stayed the course and stuck with Wilks, I doubt we’d move up to get a QB and even if we did, it’s unlikely we’d have confidence in the staff to develop him successfully as we have now.

You can tell by how emotional he got that he really took this loss hard. He put the blame on himself and wouldn’t throw his teammates under the bus, which shows real leadership. For guys who are competing at the highest level, these types of interviews can be really tough to get through.

Keep an eye on Derek Wright. He came to us an UDFA under the previous regime and looked good during his limited playing time last preseason (against the Commandos). Good route running and catches the ball well. Reminds me a Proehl a little. Will make nice strides in this offense.

True but remember the TE was rarely used much in the passing game during the previous regime. More like an extra OL. Reich is already known for using the TE more prominently in the his offensive schemes.

I can see Tremble playing a HB role, sort of a hybrid FB/TE Jack of all Trades blocking and contributing in the passing game. Ricci is a very good receiving TE but he’s not a blocker.

Let’s get ready to rumble!

At this point in his career, signing with a playoff/SB contender like KC or Philly or the other teams mentioned makes sense.

I understand how you feel. And I’m sure you can agree when considering the context - the OL was a mess. Too bad Rhule was too in over his head to fix it or anything else. And listening to this new regime as they lay out their plans is music to my ears.

Amen. So sick and tired of JV/JR College/DIV III level playcalling on offense we’ve had to stomach the past few years.

You can see the level and intensity of training and focus on agility is a total change from what we’ve seen in the past. Really excited for this upcoming season.

Thank goodness for that

Same here. And I’m willing to give YGM a chance with this new regime. DL coach Walsh may be able to help him reach his potential if given a chance.

Of the remaining FA EDGE/DE/OLB players, Leonard Floyd is the perfect fit for what we needed. However, it depends on his asking price and if he’s desires to be part of a team that’s resetting with a rookie QB, new staff and schemes vs a true contender. Yannick is not the edge setter DC EJ needs in our 3-4 scheme and neither is the overrated, injury-prone and potentially overpriced Clowney.
