I think for sure with a healthy OL including Christensen and Corbett we at least pull out that Minnesota game. Maybe we pull out one of the NFC South games to start the season as well. We'd still be bad, but not winless.

I think Fitt sticks around until the trade deadline. Reich gives up playcalling over the bye week following another embarrassing loss to Miami. Then if the team loses to Houston after the bye and is 0-7, Fitt gets canned following the trade deadline later that week. Then the whole staff is canned at year-end if they finish with 3 wins or less.

Eh, I mean Thielen is on pace for nearly 1,350 yards and 10 TDs...although I suppose you could say he's a finished product and Jefferson isn't teaching him anything he doesn't already know.

The 2024 first round pick is a sunk cost. It can't help the Panthers now. Playing Bryce as much as possible to get a good a look to decide if he has enough talent to justify building around him with talent is now the paramount concern of this season. There is no reason to play Dalton unless Bryce is legitimately injured.

Normally I’d say “a 3rd? GFY”, but then again: 2023: DJ Johnson 2022: Matt Corral 2021: Christensen, Tremble 2019: Will Grier (no pick in 2020) 2018: Rashaan Gaulden 2017: Daeshon Hall 2016: Daryl Worley …so yeah, go ahead because we can’t draft for poo anyway

Brady's out for the season

I'd rather just bring in Chase Claypool for free once the Bears cut him than send out more value for a guy like Van Jefferson...

I’m no capologist but looking at the details of Adams’ contract, it seems like Vegas would take a $40m dead cap hit if they traded him? Not sure that’s feasible.

Based on the trajectory of this season, I'm envisioning Scott being fired during the bye week, Frank handing off playcalling over the bye week, and then anything less than 5 wins (after starting 0-6 so going at least 5-6 post bye week) will mean Reich and crew are also axed.

There is a legitimate chance the Hornets win a regular season game before the Panthers do. They start the season with Atlanta and Detroit at home on 10/25 and 10/27. Panthers are at Detroit, at Miami, bye week, then Houston at home on 10/29.

Tommy Tremble - 3rd round pick, 1 catch on 1 target through 4 games Ian Thomas - former 4th round pick, re-signed to a 3-year, $17m deal after showing nothing, 1 catch on 2 targets through 4 games The amount of resources in terms of draft capital and cash spent on these two guys for that amount of production is horrendous.

Sure, but then that means they actually leaned into what you were saying they should do, and it produced a grand total of 83 yards on 31 attempts. I don't know if Miles is cooked or just hurt (which if he is, the team needs to sit him until he's healthy), but he has been trending down in YPC every game. Week 1 - 4.0 YPC on 18 carries Week 2 - 3.1 YPC on 13 carries Week 3 - 2.7 YPC on 9 carries Week 4 - 1.5 YPC on 13 carries We signed this guy to a $24m contract.

Huh? We're averaging 4.0 YPC which is tied for 19th in the league. Remove QB scrambles and we're averaging 3.5 YPC which would rank 26th in the league. Where are you getting your numbers from? https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/stat/rushing/table/rushing/sort/yardsPerRushAttempt/dir/desc

I can't say it's not possible. He interviewed for the HC job with all 5 teams looking this past offseason, the Denver defense looks like ass now that he's gone, and aside from the run defense, he's holding things together with duct tape given the injuries across the back end he's dealt with. He'll be plucked off this staff sooner than later, might as well be us.

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing the coaching staff is dialing up 10-12 WR screens at the LOS. A few? Sure. But I think Bryce keeps checking into these screens himself. Maybe try to run the play as called and stop checking into safe throws.

Hindsight 20/20, but man, imagine if you keep CMC, trade Burns to the Rams for that huge amount of draft capital, then use that capital to move up in this past year's draft rather than including Moore. Bryce may not be the guy, but I'd like to see how he'd look with some proven playmakers around him.

I have a hard time seeing Payton willing to move Jeudy for anything less than a day 2 pick. If Jeudy is the target, think it'd have to be Jeudy and draft compensation for Burns.

I'm seeing a conditional 7th for Chase Claypool in the cards just to look like we're making some sort of effort

We traded the 2nd in the deal for Bryce, then packaged the 3rd and 4th to trade up for DJ Johnson. But hey, we still got a bottom of the 5th round pick in 24 coming!

We traded up for CJ Stroud and galaxy brained ourselves out of it like Kyle did with Lance over Mac Jones, except this is 1000x worse because CJ is actually a superstar.

The one time we tried a deep pass we got a penalty. Dalton took several shots last week. I really think it’s Bryce not throwing deep.

YOU HAVE TWO fuging TIMEOUTS WAKE UP FRANK

If not for Evero, I’m terrified at how bad this team would look.

I’m trying hard not to overreact but I’m just not seeing it from Bryce? He’s got less passing yards in nearly 2.5 games than Dalton has in 1…
