Three years seems like enough time to evaluate a GM.

I loved Steve Smith the player as much as anyone. He had his faults, but he was a monster on the field for us. However, I'm gonna go ahead and go on record that I don't think he would be a good GM or head coach.

Better than bust or bust.

Hasn't been easy for Fitterer. Hurney wasn't a good GM, but he did much better than Fitterer.

The Brock Purdy thing is so funny to me. The whole argument about how he's only successful because of the rest of the team, and anybody could do it. Okay, so why didn't Trey Lance work? Why did they kick Jimmy G to the curb? Obviously he's not the best athlete in the NFL, but he's clearly doing something right. It tickles me because there's a big cross section of people that believe this but don't think a better supporting cast would save Bryce. Brock Purdy is getting help from the fact that he's on a good team with a good coach, but he's clearly doing something right. I don't think you could just put any QB in that situation and they would have the same success.

I would focus on getting offensive talent around the QB position. Maybe even trade away some of our defensive talent, since its completely wasted on this garbage offense. If Bryce doesn't play better next year with improved WRs, TE, and a better line, then we have a decent foundation for the next guy to come in. I wouldn't be concerned with building the defense when we don't even have an NFL level offense. I'd worry about that once we have a franchise QB in place and an actual window to win.

I won't argue with you there. Mingo isn't very good at all.

It doesn't look like he quit. He's wide open and the throw is just missed badly.

We're just gonna have to keep Tabor lol

He just needs more help.

Thats funny

I don't know why anyone's clinging on still. Dude's just not an NFL talent. Its unfortunate but its reality.

Let me be more clear. Nobody is going to be successful with this QB and these skill players.

Bryce just doesn't belong in the NFL. It sucks.

Not defending him but nobody is going to have success with this offense.

I’m surprised he was available. I thought he was playing well for Indianapolis.

You guys remember that story about Tepper hating some dude so much he bought his house and demolished it? What if that guy was a Panther fan too? That would explain a lot.

I agree but I think that Tepper will have his head in the sand for at least another season before he gives up on Bryce.

Probably because it can't be cleaned up. I'm pretty sure they know and have likely tried. Most players can't overhaul all of their mechanics in the NFL. Especially when those mechanics were the result of his limitations.

Who's 430 and 429? Peyton Manning and Drew Brees? Lol

I don’t disagree that Frank is outdated but I think a more helpful percentage would be under center rather than shotgun. I really doubt there’s 9 other QBs who play less under center than Bryce.

Obviously these guys aren’t playing well, but having to play out of the shotgun and pistol and telegraphing our offense as obvious passing plays it not helping. There is no sense of misdirection by our offensive formations and teams know when we’re passing. When pass rushers know they can pin their ears back it’s going to be even harder to block.

I feel bad for wasting money on Sunday ticket to watch the team this year. I can’t imagine how you feel as a PSL holder.

Thanks for the update Nicole
