SOJA

PFT said it best regarding Tepper He came in and wanted to be the rogue that did things 'his' way. He got embarassed. So he leaked to the press that he was taking a step back but in reality he is still going to do things 'his way'. He will get embarassed again and hopefully by the third time he'll realize he actually needs to take a step back

There is zero chance in hell Tepper would move on from Young after his rookie year in a season from hell. The Panthers still believe Young is a franchise QB. You don't have to agree with that but the absolute earliest I could see us moving on from Young is if we are the worst team in football again next year and it just so happens a guy is coming out worthy of the first overall pick and even then I think they would try to trade the pick

Interesting, I've warmed up to him the past couple weeks. he definitely was not my first choice. My gut tells me that both Johnson and Slowik told us no thanks under the table and Tepper/Morgan just said fug it and went for Canales. That being said, can we please give this guy some grace to build our football team? We have our first round pick next year. Let this process play out for a bit instead of crucifying him when we don't have a good season next year (we likely won't no matter who was hired)

Hurts looked terrible in the TB playoff game the year before he led them to a Superbowl.

further if Vrabel is able to bring in Arthur Smith at OC sign me up. Guy is a good offensive coordinator and there is obvious history and synergy there unlike the disaster that was this season

Vrabel is my number one choice for HC Johnson is 2, Slowik 3, MacDonald 4, Raheem Morris 5, Monken 6, probably Canales 7 and maybe Frank Smith 8

i mean dude you could have said the same thing about Hurts a few years ago but ok 1- Mahomes 2- Allen 3- Lamar 4- Burrow 5- Herbert 6- Dak 7- Stroud 8- Hurts 9- Stafford 10- Lawrence vs. Murray vs. Love vs. Tua Could easily see Bryce with an exceptional year being number 10 on that list. I'm not saying it's going to happen, it likely won't, but to say it's impossible is weird behavior for a Panthers fan

oh of course of course. I'm saying he has the *potential* to get there. Or at very minimum a consistent top 3 QB

I think drafting someone like Jordan Morgan (OT Arizona) is not off the table, I would try to sign a guard in FA, and I think our third or fourth round pick should be a center. I *know* we desperately need help at WR and edge opposite burns but it doesn't matter what we do unless we fix this line first. Ickey not taking a step forward really really fuging sucks

we will see but he just put together what I consider the best rookie season ever

I think this is the pill that's hardest to swallow. I know this board is very down on Bryce but I don't think he's as bas as this year suggests. But CJ has shown some best QB in the league type stuff this year. I think at his best Bryce could be a fringe Top 10 QB. At this best CJ may be the best QB in the league. It doesn't help that I really wanted Stroud

I'm all on board with MacDonald as HC, I would be interested to see his OC would be though

I am conflicted. On the one hand it's not a shock Dan Morgan is being considered. He hasn't just been in Carolina, he's been around the block and is respected in the league and was thought to be an up and coming GM candidate. Further just because he served under a regime that failed doesn't mean he will. Brandon Beane is an obvious example of this. Finally, I think Dan knows our culture and can at least help Tepper from continuing to self sabotage things in Carolina. on the other hand I was just really looking forward to a clean start

Shanahan or McVay easy.

I think Baltimore has the best case for most well run organization over the last 25 years personally. San Francisco recently in the last five years. New England had the greatest individual run anyone will ever have but they have really regressed post Brady All time in the NFL is probably Pittsburgh

didn't realize this board was as down on Bryce as they are. Fair criticisms to be sure. Still think Bryce can be a good QB in this league. But I will continue to post till I die that I wanted Stroud since April of 2022

but but but hometown?

wouldn't be surprised if Tepper changes Fitterer's position to something like President of Football operations, hires a new GM and states he is "stepping away". This will cause everyone to rejoice but secretly Tepper will just be doing the same old poo through Fitterer his 'yes man'

Higgins at 16 mill a year sign me tf up. I bet he gets more than that though.

1- tepper selling the team 2- Adam Peters, Ben Johnson hire, with an excellent FA class including offensive lineman and multiple WRs (one who is a number one), plus a very public David Tepper admitting he is hiring a head of football operations and that he will no longer have final say in any decisions and that he is stepping away

Ravens have the best defense in the NFL imo, comes from a winning organization

this is the under the table sneaky hire I could see, esp if we miss out on other candidates

Honestly a case could be made we've been playing better than Jacksonville over the last three weeks. This line feels too high esp if Lawrence is hurt. If our offense plays like they did last week we win. I expect our defense to bounce back after a poor performance against GB

If we hire a defensive guy he's the best of the bunch and I honestly think Evero is second

I think they are a below average coaching staff when before we had a coach who, I'm 60% sure, was actively sabotaging the team to prove a point
