tank this year for lawrence

Don't give up on  Kyle Allen yet because he proved he can win some  games even playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. He had an impressive stretch during a four-game winning streak, completing 65.6 percent of his passes and throwing seven touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Even though things turned for the worse after that, partly due to poor offensive line play and injuries on the line as well, he was still able to hold his own most of the year. He showed he could be a competent starter, at times, and was able to keep the team alive against good opponents in hostile environments (at New Orleans, and Lambeau Field in the snow). Those efforts shouldn’t be forgotten because of how things unfolded in the second half.

What's the use in sitting quarterbacks their first year anymore in the modern NFL?

It's 2020.

It's more of our oline being crap and making sure they dont get killed the first year.  Was talking at work with a coworker. I didnt really agree as I prefer to spend this years first rounder on a offensive tackle.  But had me thinking it might not be a bad idea if the right QB fell.

Focus on building the OL and either roll with Cam (only if he's 100% healthy  at 20mil), pick up a serviceable QB, or draft a mid round QB and let Brady do some magic.

Don't want to invest too heavy in WB until we can do more to protect him.

Beef up the trenches and see what Cam can do his last year of his contract. There will be many options next year (extend Cam, sign and trade him, draft Lawrence, draft Fields, someone else has a “Burrow-like“ year and we draft them)

Gonna be bad when we end up with 6-7 wins, a 60-70% of what he once was Cam, and out of range of any of the QBs people want to tank for.

Then you take Jamie Newman. There are a good number of prospects in this coming draft.

He could easily be your Burrow-like prospect.  Very interested to see how he does in Monken's offense with serious talent around him.

They took away what Kyle did best and he couldn't adjust. He then implodes even when he had time. The massive amounts of turnovers is a huge concern going forward. I see what you want to see but that is long gone. I can't see him being a starter. He's a Matt Schaub, a back up now who could someday...be a backup. Once they scout you in the NFL you've got to overcome it or crumble.

If it’s Tua or Burrow somehow then yes. Otherwise I say tank for Trevor next year and then sit him for a year behind a vet while we continue the rebuild around him, and then completely dominate in 2022 and on...

I must he the only one who thinks Tua won't last a couple of years in the league...

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
