It’s not an opinion at all to say the Panthers just committed 19M more to Darnold with little to no upside. If there was any you would have posted it. That’s a fact. All I asked for was one thing. Yet you couldn’t even do that.

That depends on your definition of sad. Pointing out something factual to pop a homer balloon from someone who called you out. Then have that person not be able to defend his point at all is very sad. And typical. 

I posted as much response as your opinion deserves, dude.

(arguably more so)

They should chisel that on your headstone. It’s your standard statement when you are incapable of defending your reality.

Thinking the front office made a mistake =/= thinking you are smarter than the front office.

It means you think that the front office is made up of humans, who are by nature prone to mistakes. 

Thinking that someone knows more about something then someone else simply because they are paid to do it is ridiculous. Ideally, that is how it should work but, again we live in a society built by humans. 

Go to Home Depot and chances are, you know more about the tools in the building than the employees do. Most politically active Americans know far more about the issues than the elected officials do.

Hell, I manage a bar at one of the most expensive country clubs on the east coast. We have a multimillion dollar wine cellar and a sommelier who is sitting for his level 3 next week. And we regularly have members whose wine knowledge blows ours away. And they are just wine fans, not professionals who get paid to do it.

Would you like to provide the post where Mr. Scot made this claim?

My mom always said the least effective way of convincing someone you're smart is telling them you are.

Took me a few years to understand her, but now I get it.

Plenty of people questioned their decision to not take Justin Fields, and drafting a quarterback in the first round is the easiest way to earn forgiveness from a fan base — for a year or two at least.

But instead of rendering Sam Darnold moot, they did the thing his previous team never quite did.

Beyond using the first pick on Horn, the Panthers draft class was a symbolic hug for Darnold. It was a recognition that to make this thing work, they needed to protect their quarterback and give him plenty of parts to work with, without the crippling pressure of him feeling like he needs to save a franchise.

"All I want Sam to do is just take it one day at a time," Rhule said. "Everything for him doesn't have to be a referendum on whether he's a great quarterback or not. He just needs to come into the building and work everyday. I believe the quarterback position is really, really important, but I also believe great teams win. I think Sam is going to be as good as the guys around him, and we've tried to put a lot of really good players around him."

They have a pair of very good starting receivers in DJ Moore and Robby Anderson. But recognizing that Anderson's in the final year of his contract, they brought in Terrace Marshall Jr. and Shi Smith over the weekend, adding targets who can be cultivated and incorporated into the offense. There's also third-round tight end Tommy Tremble , who could be both protection and target.

They also recognized the need to protect Darnold, which is why they invested in tackle Brady Christensen and guard Deonte Brown. Whether Christensen can remain the left tackle he was in college remains to be seen (they're not committing to positions yet), but the Panthers line needed both youth and quantity.

One can disagree but pretending Toomers of all people knows more about what Rhule and Fitterer want more than they do is absurd.

Fitterer is a respected 24 year NFL scout and Toomers is a message board whiner.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
