Why would it be? He can keep signing guards off the street, but couldn't anyone do that? Does he need to stay to shuffle around the practice squad and slots #51, #52 an d#53 on the regular roster? He either needs to go NOW or we are screwed. Scouting is in full swing for next year, especially for the draft and if Scott is not going to be here, that's putting the next GM behind the 8 ball.

ditto.

Can't say BPA and exclude QB especially if QB happens to be BPA. I agree that we need help everywhere and should simply zero in on any particular position.

Penix is a lefty, so Ickey would be on his front side an Moton on his blindside. Without shuffling the cards, this could be a quick fix if only we can solidify the guard positions.

Still the lowest graded offensive player yesterday. So being better is relative because he's a seasoned veteran and should play better than rookies and second year guys.

So we would pass this up at #33 if available? If so, Tepper is a freaking moron. The entire video is good and this in last year. Sorry, Bryce can't make this throw to 7:57 even with time.

I'm beginning my draft digging currently, I usually wait for the college regular season to wrap, which just happened. One thing is crystal clear about TEs, after Bowers, the drop off in talent is like a steep cliff. Yes, Bowers is elite, but even if he weren't maybe three or four TEs get drafted before day 3. Possibly one guy in round two and a couple in the third.

Weak class bro. We wait and wait and wait and wait and when we decide we can't wait anymore, we draft a guy in a bad draft class for that position out of desperation. It's the Panther way.

If the right QB is there, definitely QB. The TE class is weak. Interior OL can be had later.

Having the right QB matters. The defense can only do so much when the offense can't put points on the board. I still can't believe they gave Jones a new deal.

If I remember correctly, Johnson declined an interview as was as Jim Bob Cooter. Steichen got an interview which means Tepper was interested, but thought the interview didn't go well. Minshew is also one of the top backups in the League. Some of us (me included) wanted to go this route and take a QB this coming April. Hard to tell what kind of success he would be having with Young in Indy if Bryce ended up there instead of here.

Tepper tried, but with only 32 of these jobs--as people like to say--a couple candidates said thanks, but no thanks to Dave. It's eye opening when dudes turn down millions of dollars to stay away from this dumpster fire, career killing organization.

Russell was on a better overall team than Steve too and only with a few more wins to show for it. Russell was out of the league in 3 years.

He put in this disclaimer. Not that Reich could have turned this into Super Bowl winning team, but we will never know. King's point being that I think you missed is if Knoll, Walsh, Johnson to a lesser extent Campbell all got canned during/immediately after their first season then history would be different. He wasn't saying with time Reich would be a HOF coach leading us to multiple Super Bowls, rather if those HOF coaches all got the ax a year or less in, those teams likely would have not been the same.

Sure, but one with a winning record until he took this job. Crazy how coincidental that is, right? Carolina is the place where coaching resumes get a permanent black eye.

Can't fix his height, thus, he can't be fixed. Let's move on.

Frank would likely agree with you. He should have waited on a better option.

-Moral of the story: Frank was a dinosaur, but we were playing 1950's ball last year during our winning streak as people are now lamenting letting Wilkes walk and Reich was expected to work miracles in year 1 while he apparently forgot how to teach QBs.

So far of the notable QBs: Leonard, Ward, McCall, Van Dyke, DJ U. and Gabriel have entered the portal. Outside of Leonard and Ward, non of these guys were higher than late day 3 picks. Van Dyke's stock has plummeted the past two seasons after a great start to his college career.

It's not a new forum, the same, they just change the title. Igo can do it if you PM him. That's what I did last year.

He's much better in the rushing attack than pass pro. Pass pro is where we need an upgrade.

Here's the reality: I have 9 teams likely needing a QB. That said, not all 9 will come from the draft, some in FA. Highest number of QBs taken in the first round in modern era is 6, happened just once...5 is a rarity too. So we are looking at worst the 5th or 6th QB at #33. So here's what we are looking at. So far, none of these guys have opted to stay to my knowledge. A few guys lower have entered the transfer portal. Would any of y'all take a shot on Penix Jr., McCarthy or Ewers at #33?

We've cut him twice and likely a third time if we sign Fluker.

Anything besides McCray. How dude gets cut and sitting on his couch to the starting lineup when we have 3 or 4 PS guards, some there all season, is beyond me.
