No Thursday games is fantastic. Injuries go way up, games are closer because of lack of time.. its a huge blessing

That's got to be the easiest first 10 games in history. The Bengals are the only good team

Saints, Bucs and Falcons are overrated and very beatable

Too bad we likely won't capitalize.

Here's a tough thread to watch through

They have Levis and AR as well if you wish to go further into the thread

Interesting, quite a few posters here parrot constantly that "Bryce didn't make a single NFL throw this past season", yet he sure did bullet a lot of passes in tight windows. If you watch that whole clip, its easy to see how bad the receivers were last year. And his intermediate throws don't look any worse than Stroud, he just has footwork problems to address

Again I ask.  What makes you think this off season is the one he works on his mechanics?   I mean they are what they are now and God knows how many times I am going to bitch at him hopping in the pocket this season.  He has had elite coaching since 8th grade and this is what he is still doing.

Because it worked for him at every level until this past season. And if he doesn’t he knows he’s reached the end of his career (as a starter at least)

Nobody still really knows about his future, the NFL is so unpredictable. There's a chance Bryce comes out and has fixed a lot of his mechanics and zips the ball at high accuracy from 10-20 yards. There's a chance he doesn't and he's not the answer. We'll know by October.

Robert Hunt was considered the 2nd best guard in football last year, and Lewis in the 30's. Carolina's guards were both in the 65-75th range, which is hilarious becuase there are 64 starting spots

Can you imagine Rhule saying any of that lol

I will say this about XL. He looks the part more than Mingo or TMJ ever did. More fluid than Funchess. Little less fluid than rookie Kelvin Benjamin, but probably more top end speed

I bet he wants 8+ million AND a team with a playoff roster.

 

Dan should just look at other options, including future cuts. 

NFL players don't care about playoffs when joining a team. It's 90% most money, 10% best fit/playing time

One thing XL has going for him is he has a superstar name. Legette is such a badass last name. Reminds me of Legate Lanius from Fallout New Vegas, one of the best games ever made

Remember in the 2020 draft Justin Jefferson was the fifth receiver selected.

Henry Ruggs, Jalen Reagor, and Jerry Jeudy were selected ahead of him.

Every year there are WR's selected high who bust. Nobody really knows, not even NFL scouts.

XL could absolutely be better than either Marvin Harrion, Nabers or Rome.

History says one of MHJ, Rome or Nabers will be an absolute bust, so it's not out of the realm of possibilty. Keyshawn Johnson is a good comp for Marvin Harrison Jr. Solid, but not spectacular

Walterfootball has 3 QB's in the top 5 for 2025. I know things change during the season but theres a good chance Aller and Sanders will be better. If the Panthers are picking top 2 again, they are taking a QB. Comeon now

Panthers.com posted this? David Tepper is gonna take this down. I mean did they even read it? 

Quote

The Panthers foolishly drafted Bryce Young over C.J. Stroud over last year despite all the coaches wanting Stroud to be the pick. Whoops. The Panthers are stuck with Young because David Tepper thought he knew more than the football guys he hired, so they have no choice but to build up their supporting cast to carry Young. Adding a running back, a receiver, and an offensive line would help tremendously.

The draft is very luck based. Teams can consistently draft archetype players to succeed in right situations like the Steelers and Ravens but in reality its a coinflip whether any player in the 3rd thru 7th rounds is an NFL player. Doesn't matter who you take.

There's probably an alternate universe where Eric Shelton was a pro-bowl RB for the Packers and Joe Adams lead the league in kickoff/punt TD's for 3 straight years

Walterfootball had him as a 3rd round prospect

Good pick.

How far back is ESPN? Panthers picked 5 minutes ago

It's gonna be a miracle if Bryce balls out, not because of his perceived skill level, but because the talent on offense is based on hopes and dreams and snails and puppy dog tails.

Even with "all the additions", this would be considered a pretty poor offensive cast around Joe Burrow or Josh Allen. A fringe 1st round WR that in every scouting report is deemed raw, a RB that probably won't play til October, and a 4th round TE isn't going to change his fortunes.

Only one in eight billion people in the entire world (Mahomes) can succeed with such a poor offensive cast.

The Panthers are just house poor because of all the terrible trades in the Fitterer era

The only good thing he's done is get a 2nd next year. But with the same picks (and the 2025 2nd) you could have had Cooper DeJean, AD Mitchell and Junior Colson.... or Keon Coleman, Zach Frazier and Payton Wilson/Colson.... Just seem like the ability to grab three impact guys was there and we reached at all 3 picks becuase we fell in love with all three picks and had extreme tunnelvision

Like can you imagine if we came out of the first three rounds of this draft, without having a first round pick, and added:
A 2025 Rams 2nd, Cooper DeJean, AD Mitchell and Junior Colson?

Instead, we are "thoughts and prayers" hoping that Legette can put it together and Brooks stays healthy enough to have a good season in 2025

picks being bizarre or unexpected sound a lot like Morgan and team did a whole lot more homework on these prospects than you did.

If you took a poll on this website every time we were on the clock the last 5 years, I guarantee the poll winner would have outperformed the actual picks we've made. The drafts have been that bad.

Fyi, Wallace RAS is off the charts.  He’s a physical monster who does not understand the LB role.

When has that ever worked out for us?

I've seen some bad drafts in my close to 30 years as fan, but this is a doozy. 

All three of these picks are straight out of the Fitterer playbook. 

We need players who can get on the field and play. Not raw athletes with physical tools that haven't put it together yet. 
 

So we reached on another LB with good athletic tools but raw and no set position? Why?

Oh by the way, Benson lasted til our 3rd rounder, and there's virtually no difference between Benson and Brooks other than Jerry Jones wanted Brooks and the Panthers freaked out. Just take the freaking starter, be it Frazier or Rakestraw, in the 2nd, man.

Yes he does
