Remember it was a rebuild until it wasn't when we paid a backup quarterback 30 million dollars for one year of service.

And we lost our best pass rusher, Luke, Cam, and Bradberry while signing a new coach with one of the youngest rosters in the league in which the owner/staff is telling us fans it’s a 6 year process. Yet here you are upset we had a losing season in year one….

I'm relieved for you that you finally put that wet blanket insult on the shelf. You were beginning to repeat yourself.

Well we didn't exactly "lose" Bradberry we never pursued bringing him back. I'm happy to have Jaycee but you could play the what if game. We also threw an entire draft at the defense in '20. Carolina still hasn't invested big enough in this offensive line though. Once again we are holding our breath hoping for the best.

if it's a 6 year process and we aren't drafting a QB to groom.....we really shouldn't have CMC.   It makes him a wasted resource.  He is a win now player with a limited shelf life.  

so I would say there are mixed signals.  And it doesn't take 6 years IMO to build a winner in today's NFL.

Seriously?  From you?  You're a broken record about us losing and how our oline sucks.

Oh there it is again.  Being that old broken record wet blanket on the oline.

Tell, me exactly what your problem with BC is.

I haven't replied to you since you called me a dumbass earlier I figured you would take the hint. I have no problem with Brady C from what I've heard he sounds like a great guy. The problem is waiting while other tackles went off the board ahead of us and now we can't decide if he will even be a tackle at all or a guard. That is what concerns me. The general indecisiveness around the line. Plus we still have the matter of working out a deal with TM. All around not good circumstances for Sam.

It has pretty much been the consensus that our OL has been weak.   That is what Rhule came into.  I mean, we haven't really invested a lot in our OL under Rhule.  That isn't an attack on BC by saying that.   I don't think anyone is saying we shouldn't of drafted him.  I guess the argument is we should have invested more in the OL than just BC to date under Rhule.

So why the bitching about the line?

That only matters if you can make the case that you know one is better than BC.  You just said you liked BC.   You must like someone else.  Who did you want instead?

We drafted 2 olilne man this year and brought in Moore who should have been drafted.

People like to complain about who we chose but never say who they wanted which make no sense.

"I really like that guy, but I loved all the guys taken before him."  is nonsensical, as if draft order is the only measure.

If you don't have someone that you thought we should have taken instead of BC, you're just bitching.

If we picked up a QB in the 6th round....would that really be investing in the QB position?   6th and 7th rounders aren't investments when you have glaring needs at some of the most important spots on a field.  They are late round fliers. 

and I actually liked the Cornbread pick.  But a 6th rounder is a 6th rounder.  That's not investing in your OL.  Doesn't mean you couldn't hit a lotto ticket.  But it is what it is. 

we have had 2 drafts under Rhule.  It would be easy to go redo two fantasy drafts and prioritize the OL.   My preference is QB, OL, and DL if building a team from the ground up.

So you rate drafted players based on draft position.  ok.

You perceive criticism and discussion as bitching but what else is there to talk about rn? O line has been and still is the biggest point of contention among fans beyond who will be our quarterback for the future. We have a young defense. We have some weapons. I wasn't thrilled with the risk of taking a tackle in the first but I feel it is a move that we need to make by next year.

To some extent.   Absolutely.  The professionals confirm that too. 

But feel free to go find a DE, WR or whatever your preferred position would be from the 6th or 7th round of this past draft......and explain how they are actually the better player than someone that went in round 1 or 2.   

Joe Horn was a massive investment in our DB position.   Phil Hoskins does not represent a big team investment in the DT spot.   No shade intended to big Phil.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
