OL has been trash since Gettleman forced Gross into retirement and failed to replace him while drafting a million DTs. Still, he had plenty of time to make the play there and didn’t. 

The 2016 draft really sped up our downfall. We needed to knock it out of the park following a crushing Super Bowl loss. If we end up letting James Bradberry walk, that's an entire draft that might as well have never happened. Just crazy levels of ineptitude.

Both are absolute dogshit but when you have five seconds to throw it’s not on the OL. 

He had a brief window to throw it when the DB got picked/rubbed.  Allen was coming off the initial read.  Had he thrown it right then, maybe it could have been a TD.  By that time TWO of our O-lineman were giving up a pressure and he started to fade back.   Wright still looked open, but the DB was already bearing down.  We will never know if Allen could have beat the DB in scramble mode.

My breakdown of the final play:

  • If you were still watching the game at this point, you're a sucker.
  • If you were thinking after 3 1/2 quarters of miserable football against a 2-win team was suddenly going to change, you're a sucker.
  • If you weren't embarrassed by the ass-whoopin' dished out by a 2-win team and thought this game was winnable, you're a sucker.
  • If you think the final play of this game was the turning point... I got nothin' for ya.

He had a second window as well, but shut it by turning backwards.

If he'd stepped forward instead, The defensive lineman probably goes right past him and he has a very makeable shot.

Valid, but still hurts.

Someone else said that as soon as they saw DJ Moore didn't get in the end zone, they figured it was over. That thought crossed my mind too but I was still hopeful.

Unfortunately...

Well, there are a couple dozen drafts across the league each year that might as well have never happened if the measure of success is a Super Bowl.

Truth is, outside of the Patriots, the majority of players drafted by franchises don’t influence a Super Bowl.

Well we’re heading into the biggest offseason in franchise history. I’m selling my PSLs if Ron comes back.

I'm not in favor of bringing Ron or Marty back.

It's time for Jerry Richardson football to be dead and buried.

What's weird there is that at least for the first couple of series, it looked like Washington wasn't going to handle him very well.

Whatever they adjusted, they got it right.

Not one of the first few dozen times we've seen Rivera's staff get thoroughly out-coached in-game.

I think maybe you are misunderstanding the post. I didn't say measure of success was only playing in the Super Bowl. The point was we had just been there and still had a core intact to make another playoff run at the very least. Cam and Luke in their prime on each side of the ball? We fugged it up. The Saints seem to be doing alright thanks to their recent drafts. Even with their starting QB missing time.

All in all it looks like the only way forward in Carolina is to clean house entirely.

We lost to a team at home that fired their coach mid season who started a QB they told the world wasn’t ready to play. Ron shouldn’t make it to the podium tomorrow.

      Sold / Not Sold

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Ikem Ekwonu: Sold - Question is, how much is he going to cost and how are we going to pay everyone. Bad idea to pay Moton this past off season with Icky's contract on the horizon and 2 huge guard contracts and Bryce's 5th year option needing to be decided. Tetairoa McMillan: Sold WR1. Easy peasy Xavier Legette: Not sold Some days his head is in the game, some not. Not the guy you trade up to get in the 1st with better WRs on the table.  Bryce Young: maybe as a backup, but only if I'm desperate Maybe as a backup, but not where he wants to be and certainly not for 5th year money. He'd need to take a serious pay cut and I can't see that happening. He'd be at the bottom of my options RBs  Don't pay big contracts to RBs Nic Scourton: Getting more sold Like what I've seen of him so far and hope he continues to develop Derrick Brown: See McMillan, Tetairoa Jaycee Horn: See Brown, Derrick Tre'von Moehrig: See Horn, Jaycee 2025 Draft Class: Sold so far Liking it so far, but really hard to tell if these guys would be starters on a good NFL team, or if they are because the Panthers have been ass for so long.  Dave Canales: Not sold at all Not sold at all. Leadership council to determine if Rico needs to play. Give me a fugging break. You don't bench the guy averaging 8YPC. His offense is generic, anemic and lacks big play ability. If Bryce or Andy can't do that, then tell your GM you need another QB. Had the opportunity this off season and didn't do it.  Ejiro Evero: Trying hard not to be sold It's been surprising but not a fan of playing 10 yards off when it's 4th and 3. Hard to be extremely critical when everything has been mortgaged to surround our franchise game manager JAG.  Dan Morgan: Not even close to sold Good draft this year and that's about all I've got to say positive. The QB room is a disaster. Last year's draft, fugging horrendous. Dumping an insane amount of resources to surround a bottom of the barrel QB to be a game manager and then everyone bitches because our defense has no players. We are in a poo situation this offseason with our offense. Decision on Bryce's 5th year with yet another forgettable season, an overpaid offensive line that needs a true center and to sign our now expensive franchise LT, a backup QB that should have been put out to pasture 2 years ago, a less than ideal 2026 QB class, a bleh FA QB market, and several teams with QB needs.  David Tepper: Please sell He's still involved as evidenced by him openly stating he walks through the building making his opinion widely known and Dalton being kept and keeping Bryce competition free and his job 100% safe.
