right? TB might be trash but lets see what happens when you have an elite LT.

 

If they do that I would be fine with them drafting mond or the dude from Stanford just to see.  But holy hell if you have the chance to get slater at 8 and then another top line prospect in the 2nd you have to do it.

But, but, but we only need a franchise QB.  If we have a franchise QB, we don't need no stinking OL.  A franchise QB will win us a Super Bowl.  You just don't get it.

Or so says the same people who agree that we failed to give Cam any help or an OL that could protect an Abrams Tank, save for 2015 that just sort of happened on accident.

Having an OL that can protect a QB for more than 2.5 seconds would be a novelty for us.

Good.

The team "retooled" last year instead of flat out rebuilding, which ultimately set us back a year imo (especially when taking into consideration the limitations that were in place due to the pandemic). I can't tell if the idea that the team is a QB away from success is optimistic thinking or ignorance on display.

If there are 4 - 5 QBs taken before the Panthers pick, that means the team gets a shot at a top LT, TE, or CB and another starter in the 2nd. I'm very happy with being able to come away with a QB, Penei Sewell, Rashawn Slater, Kyle Pitts, Patrick Surtain II, or Caleb Farley.

There's a lot of really, really talented prospects in rounds 2 + 3, with round 4 being an opportunity to get somebody that slid. I wouldn't mind seeing Fitterer jump back into the first with our 2nd round pick to lock down another bonus year for a rookie contract, but I would really like to see if he can trade back at all and pick up an extra day 2 pick.

It refreshing to see someone here with a cerebral vs emotional chaos contribution.

How are you two actually jerking each other off by being so level-headed and above the fray of having an opinion.

You both have consistently posted wrong, or straight dumbass opinions over the years, and have laughed at people that nailed the reality of the Panthers, and have made calls as to what would play out last season and this off-season.

Anyone out there who looks at the current Panthers salary cap commitments and lack of clear path to the next viable franchise quarterback and thinks to themselves that looks good is not living in reality. This franchise invested 170 million dollars in three players over the last two seasons two of which are increasingly expendable positions while we have been entirely passed by the teams within our division even the lowly Falcons. There is no path to postseason contention when you win one divisional matchup. None of that screams rebuild or retooling especially when you restructure two of those contracts before the ink is barely dry a year later. Trading away multiple first round picks was a dream scenario for the most part but making a bold acquisition for an actual franchise quarterback has been the only rationale left to explain the moves we have made which are the opposite of a rebuild. If we can build a real offensive line I would feel better about this but we seem to be heading in the same direction as previous years if we plan on ignoring trends within the rest of the league by successful teams like an rn by committee approach and not riding one rb like a rented mule and celebrating all purpose yards when your team gets their poo pushed in by the rest of the division because you are one dimensional.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
