    If Penix is still on the board at 33 I honestly think the Panthers should draft him. He either motivates Bryce to step it up and Penix can be traded to recoup the value, or Penix takes the job. The Panthers need another potential long term QB option than Young after last years disaster. 

    Have thought about this a lot and agree. Penix is incredible, and having him as insurance in case Bryce gets hurt or doesn’t pan out would be great. And if Penix is the real deal then we have our QB of the future and we got him with a second round pick which obviates our need to sell the farm to draft a future QB or overpay for a mediocre FA.

  2. The history of Tepper’s hires, and history of not promoting Wilks, in addition to reports of his focus on hiring from organizations he admires for how their organization is run is going to hurt us if he prioritizes organizational process over hiring a coach that instills or inspires toughness and a culture of accountability.
     

    Players don’t play hard and dedicate themselves because management is well run. In todays NFL, successful teams are ones who have one of two things: 1. A genius HC/OC who’s so good, respect is earned by the results which instill confidence in every player that they can win every game, and will win every game if if they play tough, e.g. Shannahan, Reid, Lafluar,and Sirianni, ; and 2. A natural born leader who demands toughness by inspiring his players to understand there’s no other way to win, e.g. Vrabel, Dan Campbell, Demeco Ryans, and Sean McDermott.

    Ron River and John Fox instilled and inspired toughness, which was our calling card. Both had to take teams that were lost and aimless and it was toughness that got us out of a hole. WILKS! He reversed the entire teams persona and the results speak for themselves.

     

    All this to say, we need an inspiring leader to instill toughness, which consequently raises the standards of the entire team. We don’t need an approach that values organizational structure over toughness. Both are ideal, but the primary factor should be, can this coach inspire this team like John Fox, Rivera, and Wilks did?

  3. I think the extra second the o-line is giving Bryce is helping him see maturation in the routes and route concepts that he previously had no chance to observe. You can tell he’s still late in his decision making, but you can see his excitement when he sees what he expects to see, and now that can he see the offense working it’s giving him greater confidence in the scheme.

  4. You guys haven’t see enough of DJ to call him a bust. You’re embarrassing yourselves. Charles Johnson didn’t start for 4 years (I know he was young when drafted), but DJ has very similar capabilities to CJ. Both have very strong upper body strength and push OTs on their heels, and they both set the edge well. He’s not getting pushed around and he’s a rookie. He looks like he belongs, how good will he be is too soon to tell, but to act like he’s a wasted pick is just flat wrong. Quit crying over absolutely everything because we’re not making the playoffs this year with a Rookie QB and tons of cap space set up for next year. Is it DJ’s fault Burns is underperforming too?
