Panthering

You can literally hit two birds with one stone shifting him to LG. I think it’ll happen eventually, just maybe not this season.

Fire every single person in the building and anoint Luke Keuchly head coach for the rest of the season. Simples.

Taking a true pass pro LT in the draft who might even be run blocking deficient and bumping Ickey inside to LG would do wonders for all of this in my opinion.

It's brutal to watch play out knowing all we gave up for him, but again that's just not his fault.

It don't matter, everyone will rightly lose their jobs for it in the offseason

It was on Bryce, but Mingo isn't very good right now which doesn't help this whole situation either. Bryce just lacks the arm strength to jam it into tight windows. We are going to have to go with some good effing route runners that Bryce can throw to with more timing and anticipation. His 50/50 balls have been very disappointing so far.

So are we going to end up with a Virginia McCaskey situation where an incompetent owner who has no business owning the team owns the team after predecessor dies? Except it's going to be Nicole freaking Tepper?

Oh man.... this team!!! Unreal dysfunction from top to bottom.

That's actually hilarious. We're just going to be a joke under this ownership

We seriously tried to move the earth to trade for Watson, the Browns just gave him the whole universe instead. Panthers are such a failure of an org.

This doesn't mean anything and I'm just a dummy on the internet but my number 1 coaching candidate was Steichen and my number 1 qb was you know who. Hire me Tepper!

I'm so, so disappointed with Mingo so far.

Yeah it was, hasn't been an issue at SC as far as I know. Has been really good for us and leaving it all out there despite getting the crap kicked out of him.

Who plays behind a crappy o line, with a crappy team, below average coaching staff, and yet elevates players around him because he's got some skills. Spencer Rattler..... am I biased? Yeah, but he's got some arm talent.

Pretty much every Sunday since I wanted CJ Stroud first and foremost out of all the QBs this draft. Pretty painful but nothing is going to change that now so I try not to dwell on it too much.

I have Jalen Hurts on bye this week and my waiver wire is so think that I'm actually starting Bryce tonight for the lolz

My biggest takeaway from this video other than just poor play from Bryce and the team is his quote here, "Old scheme" I think this is just simply tied to Frank Reich.

Mingo has promise but I don't love drafting WRs who aren't good at running routes in the first few rounds

He's on video tapping Fitterer's shoulder in the 2022 draft saying, "It's time." This was for that sweet trade up to snag Corral lol.

Not sure how you can reach that conclusion after trading away a 1st next year and denying 2 1sts from the Rams for Burns last season. Unless you're saying we wanted the rebuild to start with a rookie QB, and us standing pat and not trading anything away since is a rebuild... which I guess is what we should be doing but holy smokes.

Rookie on a bad team had a bad game, that's all I can cling to right now (which isn't much at all).

I noticed this too before I cut the game off for good before halftime. Thought the defense was fighting too and Burns was making his presence known.

I missed a lot of the Houston game so couldn't comment on that. Bryce is a rookie who's allowed to have bad games, he will bounce back! But I want the confident version of him out there testing his limits, not the scared indecisive guy.

I agree and I am over-reacting but are you going to disagree that Bryce is limited at the NFL level? Because that's all I'm saying. He can work around his deficiencies, and the Panthers can get better, NFL teams can turn it around in a hurry because it's happened quite a lot. But are you expecting that to happen here? Under this ownership? With this head coach? With this rookie QB? With no 1st round pick next year? That's the real problem I'm having with all of this, it's based on what we know right here right now. It's tough! Still going to tune in a little and watch, because at the end of the day Bryce intrigues me and I want to watch him grow. But we got to get something here and there, not what we saw yesterday against the worst defense in the league right now. Outside of Bryce, it appears we can't draft or develop talent at all, and I've always viewed that when a team cannot draft or develop any talent, then that always hits said team very hard in the following 2-3 years. Look at our draft return this year right now. Early returns are absolutely brutal right now, room to improve everywhere, but brutal right now. Mingo had 1 catch yesterday for 5 yards against the worst defense in the league. Downs, who we would've taken in the 2nd round if we had a freaking fan vote online for it (we should try that, would be fun as hell), is an immediate impact starter in the NFL. These kinds of misses are going to bite us these next 2-3 years before they're sadly released into the waiver wire void where all draft busts go. Fixes I'd do, time to focus on beefing up the line inside out RIGHT NOW. Cut your losses on Ickey at LT and move him to LG where he belongs, let him build a rapport with Bozeman and keep the right side intact. We actually have okay depth at the inside spots if we do that. Run whoever at LT and let it ride from there, we've got to turn back to a bull rushing team the rest of the year. Get Laviska back in there asap when he returns, screens all day to him. Let Mingo continue to develop, but test his butt on hard routes and find out if he's a true 1 sooner rather than later. Get Tremble more looks since he can block and catch a little, and keep doing your thing until the season ends.

I turned the game off before the first pick six even happened, because I was just so annoyed with watching the Panthers and the whiplash of watching them after the awesome CJ Stroud game was a little too much for me to handle. Just took my dog on a long walk on a beautiful day outside, which was great. You know what's funny? I still am not even that concerned about his height, he's prove he can and will pepper the middle of the field when he's feeling it and can show a decent feel for the game. It's actually all about his arm and footwork right now for me combined with his decision making. He makes up with his weaker arm with his toes-y footwork and does the jump throw thing you mentioned but he's done that his whole career. So, is that simply never going to translate? Or can he work to improve on that? I have no reason to believe Bryce won't work hard to improve. But his decision making to me has been the most disappointing, I expected the most "pro-ready" rookie QB to be extremely decisive and confident, even in failure, which is actually what I saw in the first ATL game. He got burned twice by Jessie Bates, but I loved that he was pushing it hard and testing his limits. I swear on my life I haven't seen that same kid since, and his confidence is shot now.
