Partially yes overall more so because they picked the wrong person. Can't get to caught up in the we would have had a top 3 or whatever pick in the draft because without that trade they are probably rolling with Dalton or another vet QB again and maybe end up with to many wins again for a top pick. Sadly we here now and have to let this play out with nothing to go by right now but hope

I get the animosity towards Tepper as the Panthers have been a sh*t show since he bought the team. That being said, I do not see any indication he doesn't want a winning team. Tepper has spent money and made the effort to be successful. Sadly he has not made good decisions, and hopefully the recent ones to bring in Reich, etc turn out well (not looking good so far). But again, he has spent money and is doing what he thinks is right to be successful and since he is not going to sell the team so WHAT I WANT TO SEE is hopefully Tepper learns from all the mistakes and eventually gets it right.

This to me was the start of this now continued sh*t show and how the franchise went about the transition from Cam so wrong. The correct course of action & how most franchises "rebuild" or move on is they should have simply re-signed Cam then eventually draft his replacement AND if Cam's shoulder was so shot & they sucked so bad then we are in the Trevor or other early draft pick QB hunt. Instead, its been one other teams failed QB after another and now hoping the Bryce pick works out with to many years of some of the worst football ever witnessed in Charlotte.

My son, my dad and me will be there on Sunday.

I did then and still blame the loss in the Superbowl on Ron Rivera. I told my cousin before the game the weakness on the team was Remmers on the right side of the line and we will know how the game is going to go based on that AND of course we all know the rest. The fact Rivera allowed that to happen, and worse, made no adjustments (how it appeared watching) to give Remmers help and not allow one player to totally destroy the team is why the Panthers lost that game. Everything else everyone talks about is easily overcome and probably doesn't matter if the coaching staff did a better job - starting with the main guy Rivera.

Keep all 3 (Young, Dalton, Corral) for at least this year and maybe next year. If we've seen anything, it's the value of a good back up and even down to the third guy. To me that's a more desirable option than having to bring someone in during the season or the guy on your practice squad (who in a scenario might not be Corral). I know they are allowing 3 QB's on the roster game days for an emergency QB. Not sure if this is part of the new rule, dont think so, but I also think teams should be able to keep a third Qb on the roster without losing a roster space.

We will be there .. we bought tickets last month

I think they NFL should allow teams to carry 3 QBs and not have the 3rd one count against the 53 man roster.

Interesting discussion but do not get rid of the kickoff. Figuring out ways to make it safer etc sure but do not get rid off it. The decisions made on a kickoff by the kicking and receiving teams has an impact. Ie your team goes down a score with a minute in the game. Do you want the possible opportunity and choice for your returner to take the kickoff return to the 30, 40 or even better to give your team better field positions? You also have the opportunity on defense if you just score and the other team decides to run it and you stop them at the 10, 15 yard line and they have a longer field. There are other scenarios. I don’t like the concept of a teams just starting every drive on the 25 after a score.

Upper level is fine, I always prefer first five rows myself. ALSO, FYI ... row 1 is actually row 2 upstairs due to the fact the first row is 1aa and second row is 1 and so on.

This is why I’d like to see an exemption to the 53 man roster rule and allow an extra spot for a third QB. With how critical the position is to the success of a team, seeing how far play drops already with most backups, and how often teams end up starting more than just two different people in a season …. Allow the third QB on a roster so teams can developed guys without risk of losing them via practice squad etc. or having to sacrifice QB depth for depth on roster elsewhere.

Love DJ and maybe someone can prove me wrong but my one big complaint is I can’t recall him once taking a five yard slant or other shorter/mid pass to the house and we still need that anyway. Maybe he could have developed that and yeah finally got some deep balls for TDs but if that’s what it takes to get the QB this new staff wants and he turns into a franchise QB …. It’s worth it to me.

The Panthers should roll with Darnold, try to develop Corral and if there's a QB in the draft they like and can get draft him as well.

I don’t watch many Ravens games so not sure how good or “bad” a passer Lamar is overall. The times I have watched him play it appears he can throw etc. To me the bigger question is can Lamar be more a passing QB who has to scramble and run when he needs to. I do believe Cam could have become and was evolving into that but it was that hit by JJ Watt that ruined Cam’s shoulder and ruined all that. So, if the Panthers plan was to continue to strengthen the O-line and build an offense with Lamar as a passer rather than a runner & the contract was right, I’d be fine with Lamar as the Panther QB.

I am fine either way when it's something I can't control. That being said, the only part that stinks is it's Atlanta who got the spot right in front of us due to the Panthers winning. I do not know much about this QB class and it appears it's not that deep, etc but we missed out on Hebert due to one draft spot and Atlanta might want a QB. Oh well, we will see how it plays out.

Yep and more so on draft day. Not that the Panthers are actively look to trade Burns but if there is a QB they really like, including Burns as part of a trade package to move up is possible. The same for Brown as well. I do like how he improved this year and looked better but again could be part of a package to move up. This all of course is contingent there is a QB they really like and need to move up to get him.

Rhule was trash and the change to Wilkes accomplished several things. First it finally proved what we all knew & that was Rhule was trash. We also got to see some players Rhule left on the sideline & showed some of the young guys there is a desire to win here, how to win some or at least play like a NFL team and didn't destroy their desire to be here. ALSO, re: Burns he can still be traded at the draft as part of a package to move up. As far as Wilkes staying or going, I am fine either way BUT if for a coordinator we could easily be right back to needing a coach again in a few years because they don't work out often enough as well; so I lean more towards give Wilkes a full season and then go coordinator route after if it doesn't work out. The we need to talk tank during the middle of a season is laughable. People make it sound as if its so easy. Beside sitting all your starters or placing them all on IR and/or telling your players to screw up on purpose is not reality in the NFL. Now, this last game of the season or towards the end... I wont be hoping for a loss but yeah put Horn on IR, pay some of the younger guys and sit more starters via rotation during the game ... do it.

I’m all for Darnold being the bridge quarterback.

This is why I’m leaning towards Wilkes being the head coach. Especially if the Panther win these last two games. We can always go the coordinator route if Wilkes doesn’t work out. Especially when there’s no guarantee with a coordinator and can result in more lost seasons anyway. So you roll with Wilkes instead.

I was definitely pissed off Sunday and off the Wilkes train because he got stomped by a better coach in Tomlin … but then Wilkes did stomp Pete Carroll in Seattle so I’m still torn with how to move forward and maybe these last three games will help. Maybe before going the unknown coordinator route because can always do that. So see what Wilkes can do with his own staff, team etc when in charge for a full year or two. Then go unknown coordinator route if Wilkes fails.

FYI - row 1 is actually row 2. Not sure if it’s this way in every section, but is for many. Row 1aa is the first row in the upper level and they have the rail. And I’m not talking about that row all by itself when walk out. I’m talking the first row in the sections. I know this because I’m in row 1aa Section 540 . And the rail isn’t really in the way, just the first seat in row where the bar goes up for the stairs. But if row 1 (which is actually row 2) your fine, rail shouldn’t be an issue at all. Here’s a picture if it helps.

The price disparity is kind of true for this season compared to yesterday. We have two psl’s and commonly buy one or two extras on game day so another family member can go. We only do this when can get cheap enough on Sunday morning. So all season it been between $25 to $40 for cheapest seats on Sunday, yesterday against the stealers it never fell below ~$140-$170 for cheapest. For that reason I see why the average panther fan didn’t buy much on secondary market.

If the organization was trying to tank they would have kept Rhule for the entire season and not fired him.

My guess is now there is no chance he plays at least 70% of the snaps which would then make the pick we gave up a 4th round one instead of a 5th. With Baker no longer on the roster, there is no way that happens

Try sitting upstairs where the sound is always a garbled mess where you can never understand what’s being said or played on the screens.
