I think you bring in competition wherever you can find it, but WR is the least of our worries right now. TMac and Coker are pretty darn good. Horn looks pretty decent when they throw his way and even Tremayne hasn't let us down. Legette is probably on the way out, but I'd give him another year.

Trey Lance. Gardner Minshew.

1. QB. Sign a veteran - offer them a starters salary. Possibly select a developmental guy in the Draft if you like one that falls. 2. DE. If we're sticking with the 3-4 we need a DE that can get penetration. If we're switching to a 4-3, with Evero leaving, we need a DE to pair with Scourton and Umanmielen (probably your 1st round pick). 3. OLB. If we're sticking to the 3-4 we need an OLB (Edge) to rush the passer. 4. ILB. If we're sticking to the 3-4 we need an ILB to pair with Wallace. Whether that's the Draft or FA I don't know. 5. TE. Draft a TE to compete with Sanders, Evans, Mitchell and Tremble. Loser leaves town.

Which he has.

Battered spouse syndrome.

Dowdle isn't a loss - had a stellar couple of weeks, but reverted to type afterwards. We don't have to be super active in FA - we should be plugging holes. I just hope we can compete financially for the likes of Lance or Willis.

Yeah, that Draft was great (by Panthers standards). On top of the two mentioned I think Evans is going to be around for a while. Horn, Etienne, Thornton, Ransom and Umanmielen have flashed and even Jackson has made plays of late. We need to start stacking those types of classes. It's the Hurney Drafts, where your 1st rounder is a stud and everyone else is cut within 3 years, that kill you.

Do we not have a Draft and Free Agency between now and next season? We need another Draft of the same quality as the 2025 Draft and another solid Free Agency. Bringing in help in the Front 7 and a new starting QB will put us over the hump.

I'm amazed he's not on Ozempic.

I bet Legette's agent is kicking himself that he didn't sit down with Tepper pre-Draft and wow him with his table etiquette. Seems to get you a 5 year contract, regardless of play on the field...

Young underthrows Coker and T-Mac, what use does he have for a burner?!

I didn't want Morgan, I wanted a fresh start at GM (and didn't think he was qualified), but I can't complain about the job he's done so far. If he actions Young's 5th year option, however, then he needs to go. I think, like Evero last year, fans would be calling for Canales' head when realistically he just doesn't have the players to run his scheme. It's the ultimate team sport, but you simply cannot compete week in, week out, with a sub-par QB that can't execute an NFL playbook. There's only so long you can hide his weaknesses and catch teams off guard with wrinkles before they wise up.

He's not even the 4th best QB in the NFC South. Let that sink in.

You've undersold it. We traded the farm so this fuger could overcome that more times than not. Instead he's no better than Heinicke or Kyle Allen on his best day.

According to Spotrac: Trubisky, Lance, Willis, Minshew and Howell are all FAs. So any one of those please.

That's one way to sour their great relationship with the franchise and the fans I guess.

Off the top of my head: Underthrew TMac on the last drive - that's a walk in TD Threw the ball behind TMac (2Q?) when he had acres of YAC Overthrew Horn on the sideline when he had acres of YAC Made Coker and Hubbard make 3 circus catches for about 4 yards (combined - all throwing right) Missed a 7 yard slant to TMac for the first down by about 5 yards Other than that though he was perfectly serviceable.

Young got us to #1 overall too...

We scored 14 points.

Why do they need time to find all those things? Replace the QB with a competent NFL vet in FA and see what you've actually got at your O skill positions. We're not in a position to continue treading water with Young at QB. It's time to progress as a franchise.

The big picture being he's proven over 3 years that he isn't an NFL QB - so lets run it back and commit ourselves to paying him $26m in year 5?!

Draft a guy to develop and bring in a veteran starter who can at least make every throw the NFL requires a QB to be able to make from the pocket. We're currently drastically limiting Canales' playbook to accommodate Young. Trade Young or sit him as QB 3.

We need to flush the QB room in the offseason.

There's no mystery. Teams have been playing Young like he can't hurt them with his arm. They're right.

54 yards.
