Looks like Stafford not wanting to come to Carolina is the reason he wasn't traded to the Panthers.

I think that was something that was suspected at the time. It sucks for us as a franchise that we missed out on a potential franchise QB but I don't blame any long term veteran QB for not wanting to come to a rebuilding team. The Rams are built to win now, we are building to be that team in a few years. 

It is what it is.

Yep. I know there are a lot of people here thinking the Panthers could get into the playoffs this season, but I think it'll be at least another season before that happens, probably two seasons. The Oline and QB are still question marks. So is kicker. Honestly the Oline worries me more than the QB does. Beyond that the defense has holes still and depth in general is a concern.

His loss then. With him and this defense core and weapons we would probably be a playoff team as soon as this year. Then aggressively fix the OL after this season and we're really not far from competing. 

Not his loss. The Rams are a lot further along than the Panthers and are a lot more ready to compete. He made a good decision for himself at this point in his career. As Sho'nuff stated, it is what it is.

Yeah, and if the Rams do not win it all in the next year or 2 they are going to be a hot mess.  They don't have a first round pick for like the next 10 years and they have a lot of vets on big contracts.  Its now or never for them.  Their window is firmly open for the next couple of years, but after that things could get rough for them.

We'll see. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Rams don't win a SB this year and then by 2022 we are consistently better than them (depending a bit on our QB situation). A lot of the moves they've made over the years have been recipe for disaster down the line if they don't win a SB very damn soon.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
