Mage

Don't look at CJ Stroud's stat-line. It will make you depressed.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Derrick Brown is a monster.

Garbage call... he slid late.

Defense is playing STICKY coverage

Panthers don't deserve to have points.

Parsons putting Ikem in the blender

Either way, we both agree Frank Reich is ass.

Evero has bad players overachieving Reich has bad players playing bad

OL getting abused

Micah Parsons 3rd sack incoming

Evero got this defense playing. Not much he can do given the lack of talent but they are playing well.

DJ Johnson has flashed these last 2 games.

Panthers tanking

I want Evero to be the interim HC.

Good game.

Right guard got DESTROYED

Panthers don't have a chance in hell of winning this game. We are outclassed in every way imaginable.

Why not? I'm not going to pretend like I hated the hire. But IMO the appeal of Frank Reich, for me anyway, is that he would get us back to respectability in the NFL. I felt after the stink of Matt Rhule, we really needed that leader at the HC position who could right the ship and bring the roar back to this city. Anyone who has been to a Panthers game in the last 3 years knows exactly what I'm taking about. So even if the upside to win a Super Bowl with Reich wasn't there, I thought it was a strong hire because he was a proven commodity and he could at the very least make it feel good to go to games and be a Panthers fan. But Reich was never going to be the guy who could turn around a tanking ship (and my fault for not seeing it - I thought we were closer than we were, but I will admit I was wrong). And at this point, we have already tanked. Like, we are at rock bottom. Reich ain't the guy fixing that. Keeping Reich merely for the sake of "not firing a coach after one season" is just wasting time. We're a young team and we need a young, enthusiastic mind that can reach these players and build them from the ground up. I do feel bad for Reich because the players on this team suck. But he's just not the guy who can fix this.

Ehhh, every fan of a bad team gets concerned about this but IMO it really isn't that much of an issue. It is hard to turn down a HC job because they are hard to get. There's only so many open spots a year. Look at how long it took some guys to get a job. Sure, if you are a high-profile name who will be a top candidate guaranteed year in and year out? You can afford to be picky. But otherwise young coaches aren't gonna turn down a chance to be a HC. And nowadays its the young offensive minds you want to target. I know people will point at Ben Johnson, but it wasn't about him turning down this team (because he turned down all teams) so much as it was him really wanting another year of experience with a team that had a LOT of positive energy around it. It wouldn't surprise me if Reich is fired and Ben Johnson is the first guy we target given we are already familiar with him through interviews. Plus, the stuff they run in Detroit fits what Bryce would do best in an ideal world IMO.

Panthers about to get slung to the shadow realm

Bryce was considered the #1 QB prospect long before the S2 test came out.

Not defending Tepper, but a LOT of people liked Justin Feels. Feels weird to blame him for that, if that was the case anyway. Fields was a good prospect. Sometimes good prospects don't develop the way you hoped.

We suck, but I don't know about that mane. Especially with Tommy DeVito at QB. They do have Barkley and Andrew Thomas though... so on second thought you are probably right.

I feel like this is accurate. Every element of the offense is bad. QB, RB, WR, TE, OL, Offensive Coaches, you name it. All is bad. The question at this point is just what is causing what and what can actually be fixed in 2024 vs what is just beyond repair.
