The Panthers roam, but find no prey, Lost in the woods, they stray and sway, Once feared, now just a shadow's trace, Fumbling through the endless race. The offense sputters, like a dying flame, No spark, no fire, everyone to blame- The quarterback, with hopes once high, Now throws the ball just to watch it fly. The defense stiffens, yet they bend, Unable to break the losing trend. The roar of the crowd turns into sighs, As each new loss falls from the skies. Another season of struggle, just 3 wins to claim, And yet, the team plays on the same- With hearts of hope, but minds unclear, The Panthers chase the end of the year. Oh, Carolina, where did you go? The strength you had, the fire, the flow- Now all we see if a team that fights, But can't seem to find the winning heights. Still, the fans hold on, though worn and torn, For next year's hope will soon be born. In this cruel dance, we wait, we cry, For the Panthers to roar again, up to the sky.

I'm convinced the blocked punt happened because we were distracted by the duck.

Exactly, better off signing one Tier II Free Agent and spending 2ish picks on them in the draft.

So far his picks weren't great this year but also weren't as bad as Fitterers. He also did a decent job with Mike Jackson, Hunt, Lewis, and Jewell. I'm lukewarm and need another offseason before I count him out. If Fitterer gets two offseasons Morgan should as well.

An ACL this late in the year would probably be mid-season next year at best IMO. I really wouldn't mind drafting a big back in the 4th-6th round range. Cam Skattebo and Kalel Mullings come to mind.

A real QB competition. If you think Bryce is the answer, fine. But bring in an average journeyman and prove it.

He through for right at 200 yds... again. That is his ceiling. Meanwhile Drew Lock scored 5 TDs today.

Drew Lock scored 5 TDs today so..

and Christensen at FB

Darnold was better than Bryce the entire time, he just had to deal with Matt Rhule. Shanahan and O'Connell proved that I think.

Blackshear starting not Boone per Panthers. We'll see how the carries split though.

Caleb Farley starting for Horn at CB Chandler Wooten starting for Jewell at LB Raheem Blackshear starting for Hubbard at RB Per Panthers.

I think he was going to be anyways. He will want to go to a another contender is my guess.

If I recall he wasn't horrible. His PFF is about the same as Mays and Christensen. I can remember not too long ago Greg Little, Dennis Daley, and John Miller having scores that didn't even combine to that.

No but if it is 43-0 as the original post used hypothetically then yes Bryce would have blame in that. Nijman has already played and did decent, and the OL hasn't really changed so we will likely get more than 12 yards. Whats more likely is Bryce going 20/39 for 178 yards and a pick because his fragile self confidence collapsed again.

I don't know if 7 years on Practice Squads showed him that.

If we are getting blown out enough to sit Bryce, Bryce might lose his job again.

Even after the 5 games he still had more zip than Bryce. Maybe it was just me but I didn't see the game arm strength he had after the Vegas and Cinci games.

Hopefully all the Thomas Brown hype goes away after this. Dude was so overrated when they brought him here to be OC.

I think Dalton is going to retire. He lost a lot of zip on the ball from Vegas to Washington. He looked exhausted after those 5 games.

I've seen worse.

Way I see it Plummer has to be the #2 otherwise he would just be elevated not signed. They could shut Bryce down, although I doubt it. Canales always preaches how important reps are but then again you risk him getting hurt or having a bad confidence game. Who knows maybe his hamstring "flares up" and they use that to shut him down. Interesting either way.

Per Joe Person Hubbard; Smith-Wade added to IR Mike Boone signed to active roster Jack Plummer signed to active roster Deshawn Williams elevated to active roster Not sure why Plummer is getting signed unless they are taking a look at him. Bryce was on injury report this week but was FP on Friday.

I said 3-6 wins and got poo on for it but whatever I was right. If we can finish 5-9 wins next year it's still on the right path. This is the 1st offseason in a while I'm actually excited to see what Morgan does with more money and picks. Not being the worst team in the league also gives a better shot with some Free Agents, especially if we can get a respectable DC in here (Saleh)

What’s also funny is they were talking about earlier in the week what they were going to do about Boone since he was running out of elevations. Seems like the solution was to shut down Chuba (which is smart)
