Basically he's said that he built this place and thinks back fondly on that and hopes that maybe he'll be reinvigorated if the Panthers ever find a way to overcome Tepper and field a winning team. He's not unwilling to sell, he just admits it would take a number substantially bigger than anyone should rightly consider to get him to sign the papers.

I actually think we've built a decent situation for a QB to step into while trying to build around Bryce. We have a good OL, a good running game, and we have some talent at receiver. The very obvious thing holding back this offense is the lack of ability at the most important spot (and Canales not riding Rico).

The primary fixture of the Tepper era has been referring to the stupidest rationale possible as the "master plan".

I just don't know if Tepper is ready to swallow that bitter pill yet and unfortunately watching guys like Darnold and Baker bounce back elsewhere and now Daniel Jones too could be giving him the false impression that we still need to keep building around Bryce and not give up yet ignoring the reality that those other guys have a lot more talent than Bryce.

You gotta try. You absolutely cannot understand any circumstances go into next year with Bryce penciled in as the unquestioned starter. You have to at least bring in a veteran to legitimately compete. This clown show of pretending that Bryce is our franchise QB has to stop.

Yeah, it's never a good plan to go all in on doing a specific thing. Tepper was hell bent on a 1st round QB when we traded up to #1 for Bryce. The football staff correctly surmised that sitting at #9 was going to be too low in the draft order to land any of the 1st round QBs with three QBs ending up going in the top 4 picks. Being hell bent on taking a QB high in the 1st meant we were forced into an insanely expensive trade up and that has played a huge role in getting us into the mess where we currently reside. Just add a solid journeyman vet to legitimately compete with Bryce next year and then let the chips fall where they may in the draft.

Honestly, I'd take at least a third of that list over Bryce/Dalton.

I'm all in on keeping our options open. We need to sign a legit veteran journeyman in FA and then we need to keep QB on the table in the draft. If the right fit is there in the 1st, great. Take him. If not, take the BPA or listen to trade offers coming in and then try to add a developmental guy after the 1st. But we cannot go into next year still pretending that Bryce Young and the washed up ghost of Andy Dalton is the answer.

Stubbornly sticking with Chuba while someone who has never even watched football before could tell that Rio is the clearly better player right now is just baffling.

Yeah, the Texans and Niners. LOL Looks like the litany of injuries has finally caught up to the Niners. Guys are still dropping and they just have nobody left. The injury bug they've been bitten by this year is wild.

LOL It's 40-3 bruh

We all knew that 4-3 was fool's gold but man, this is an absolute drubbing.

I wish we'd shop a late round pick to see what might be available, especially with the D taking a slide today facing a real offense for the first time in awhile. Should be painfully obvious that this team can't compete against non-basement dwellers with our current QBs.

Chuba shouldn't be getting off the bench right now unless Rico's tongue dragging the ground. It's painfully obvious Rico is head and shoulders better.

Well... Sucks for the Falcons. They have a struggling young QB who has at least shown some promise but they don't even get to enjoy the rookie QB contract window because they're stuck paying Bryce Cousins on a starting QB contract.

Completely washed. We have backup caliber QB starting and a guy who should be out of the league backing him up. Oof.

At least we know now why we didn't bother to upgrade the QB room. We could've fallen backasswards into the next Jake Delhomme off the trash heap and he still wouldn't be playing.

I have no idea how this guy turned a student assistant role that was basically being the team clown at UNC into an actual media gig but I guess good for him. Not for me though, I'll pass.

Super incredibly uber mega ass cheeks.

Colorado is terrible. Like I'm pretty sure UNC would beat them comfortably type terrible. LOL

I've never understood the hype around the guy. I'm just not seeing anything that screams 1st maybe even 2nd round draft pick.

How was Malachi Toney only a 3* recruit? Not even a top 50 national WR recruit. Barely top 50 overall within the state of Florida. The recruiting service evaluators sure whiffed on that one. He's currently a top 50 receiver in the country as a true freshman and trending straight skyward. I wouldn't be shocked if he's flirting with top 10 by the end of the season.

Tough to do that when you're wildly turnover prone. He's just one of those guys who looks the part and has all the tools, it just never comes together for him. Every time he has a streak of a few decent games and you think he may have possibly turned the corner he'll have an absolutely atrocious game and remind you of all the massive red flags. As he threw what should've been a pick... LOL
