Glazer said we’ve declined four teams trade offers for Bryce, are we going to botch moving on from a player again? 

Man, here we go....  I hope they don't do this mess again. If you can trade McCaffrey,  you can trade this dude asap

Lol sheesh.  Bryce has been put in timeout lol

I think this is a game now. The rumors of interested teams and Bryces camp (agents)being shocked come into play. The only way to get better value in a trade, is to act like he is still part of their plans.

I'd like to know how this offense of Canales runs and if we got anything in guys like Legette and Sanders.  Bryce doesn't allow this to be seen.  

This!!! We can't just tank it completely!! We have way too many young guys that need a fair shot to develop!!!

Such disrespect to the other players and coaches on this team. Canales knows damn well Bryce does not give us the best chance to win a football game.

Exactly!! Can't lose the lockerroom this early. Play Dalton and build chemistry in the locker room going forward. Rather we win 5 games or 8... its the best way to go. The sidelines looked deflated and ifs only week 2. Not good!!

I was not sold on Bryce after his pro day. When he threw that jump throw for 60 yards and still overthrew his receiver. I was standing there watching that and I said to myself, “This is a joke, right?”. I was convinced after that that we would absolutely draft CJ Stroud. I was absolutely puzzled when folks kept celebrating the fact that we would likely draft Bryce.

I said the exact same and the interview by Steve Smith felt like Tepper paid Smith or pushed Steve to hype him up!!

I know Theilen is pizzed 

The only player that I'd think really have Bryces back, finally broke!!

Wilks took 13 days after being thrust in to the HC job to beat the Bucs 21 to 3. He had only been with the panthers 8 mos at that time. The next week they went in to ATL and hung 34 points on the board, losing in ot by 3. Sam Darnold was his QB. I’m sure he ignored Tepp the entire time. 

Everything of where we are now is 1000% on T. 

Exactly!! Him n his wife think they are some marvelous  football minds and have narcissistic vibes. They need to humbly bow down and let the football people do the dirty work!  The Bryce experience  is over!!!

It's so over. You have to go to the Red Rifle coming out of half. You owe it to the other guys in the locker room. This is there careers you're playing with. You gotta give them a chance to do something and Bryce Young simply isn't.

Yep, at this point for the locker rooms moral... they've suffered as much as us fans. 1 drive in the preseason and a practice vs the Jets had Bryce fans going crazy on guys. I wanted to be wrong about him... but he is horrible.

Giants won 6 games with a combo of Tyrod, Daniel Jones, and DeVito last year.  They will be bad but they will luck into a few games.  Panthers ain't lucking into diddly poo.  We are the late 2000s Rams of the NFL right now, and at least they had Steven Jackson.

Trust me... it could get ugly but you know rights to number 1 picks... I wouldn't doubt the refs screwing the Giants... just to get them ahead. Regardless,  I'd think Sanders would try to force his son to the giants, so we'd have better odds at Ewers or whoever  by then.

#1 pick incoming.

We got to play the Giants for those rights... lol

Difference  maker... A qbs best friend... JT...

Center is tricky because you should be spending all camp on cadence and chemistry, hard to just drop a center in for the qb and the rest of the O-line. They are basically the front line that everyone else reacts to

I agree we need that filled early!! If a talented one comes tho, scoop him up  regardless! Rather it's Bryce or another qb, can never have enough oline(center) talent.

Yeah, I seen the Free agents list but was stating that if a better option pops during cuts, that'd be high on the pecking order.

This is so bad. Is there not any vet FA C sitting at home we could bring in? Anything has gotta be better than this

My guess is that'd be one of the 1st waiver claims we bring in...

The most underrated  offensive  player we have...

I think this guy will become a fan favorite. He has the same tenacity  that Luvu has and that's what us Panther fans are use to.... fierce linebacker  play

They visited  with him like 6 times it seems... its clear they worked him extensively  and something they saw behind the scenes really clicked.  I'd keep an eye on Rattler or even Milton as a late qb too but Leggettes value as a returner and Deebo role will be his role initially. 

At this point... PAYTON WILSON... then bpa wr/tight end at 39

If Brock gets to the 20s... it got to be on their mind. He alters both run n pass game instantly!! Plug n play!! Trade Horn if you have to and sign Gilmore.

I don't either, but why say anything about the Panthers?  To me, that could discourage other teams from taking you.   This is the time of year when you should take all media and player speculations with a grain of salt.  Even if they told Bryce that he would be the pick, it was not a month or so before the draft--it was just before it.  According to Legette, I get the impression that he last met with them in mid March...He said they met with him TWICE at the SR Bowl in February and again at his pro day in March...not sure about the other meeting (a visit).  He did say, "The KEEP telling me..." which suggests more than once, and he said (pro day) that other coaches are yelling at me (encouragement, maybe?) but the Panthers are the only people saying this. 

Here is a thought--is he trying to leverage his way into the first round by announcing this?  If a team thinks he will drop to them in round 2, there is only one way to convince them to leapfrog.

Second thought--Are the Panthers planning to use him like a Deebow and not an X?  To me, that might make sense with Young and it would make his skill set more valuable.   I dunno.

Yeah I watched the Underdog thing and the Deebo stuff if they have a role is where that comes in... Still have to see how the board falls because somebody will drop that we aren't expecting. Happens every year. 

I do know the new Kickoff rules really helped his stock and they do like him but.... If Payton Wilson is there at 33... that'd be my bet to get selected 1st. Dan talking about bringing an identity and building a team  vs just for Bryce, lends me to believe that's their guy if there. The other factor, at least 3 guys we aren't expecting will slide within distance. You'd be hard pressed  to not move up if Bowers or someone like Rodunze  get to the mid 20s.  That pick 39 will still hold high wr value.

 Name Sam La Porta ring a bell…

 

It's crazy  you mentioned him because  I had read an article  about Bowers and Sanders watching tape on La Porta and a bunch of the same pros an cons match up.

If we take a TE before round 4, Morgan needs to be fired.   This TE class sucks.  Value only comes into play on day 3.  Yes, I realize Brock Bowers is in the draft class, but he's a unicorn.

Brock is legit but multiple reports have Sanders testing well and showing massive upside. Him and Kinnot rind me of Kittle coming out and wouldn't be surprised  that he  turns out ok. A bunch of times the Texas oline was leaking and he learned to stop on routes early and when the qb would scramble, he'd make himself available. Working your way back to the qb is a skillset that's needed. I wouldn't be opposed but could see multiple scenarios  in  round 2. I could see  olb and center being bpa possibly but we definitely  have to get pretty weapons on offense.

I keep hearing Ben Sinnott's name. Wouldn't be shocked to see him taken with 39. Apparently teams are a lot higher on him than the media realizes.

Definitely  tested well and blocks and catches. I could see him or Sanders turning into Kittle.

I like Jared Wylie in the later rounds far as a TE.

A name I've researched  on and has skill too.
