So that's 2 significant FAs who didn't even make it threw camp. The other got trade.  

2 of them we kept eflein and Erving are also ones that should be on the street right now.

Fitt is showing so far that FA agency signings from other teams is not gonna be his nitch.

2021 Draft class A+

2021 FA's C-

Fitt was primarily on the college side for Seattle. We've seen before our existing pro personnel people leave much to be desired. I'd wait until after an FA season with Dan Morgan in the building before you judge Fitts on his FA skillz.

I don't mind the idea of playing smashmouth football and leaning on this defense, I just question whether we have the personnel to actually run it... 

It's just a hard way to win in today's offense driven NFL. Much less room for error. It's kind of like do you want to be the goalie or the striker. As the goalie (smashmouth + defense) you have to be perfect every time, but as the striker (high flying offense) you only have to be perfect once.

Reminds me of 2020. Same thing. Draft was way better than Teddy, Okung, Weatherly, Roberts and Apple. This year Perryman, Elflein, Erving and Moore sure haven’t wowed but at least we spent way less than 2020.

That's what you get with bargain basement FA acquisitions. We tried to fill holes on the roster so we could Draft BPA. Same this year. Smith made Moore expendable - that's a huge positive.

Perryman, and it pains me to say it as a huge Canes fan, was being a knobhead.

You see it every now and again in College. Teams are geared up to stop Spread offences so they don't have the personnel to match up when a Boston College comes to town.

In the NFL obviously those extremes aren't quite the same (mainly due to the insane athletes roaming the field), but I could see us lining up in 12 set and causing teams matchup problems. Worked with Shockey and Olsen (albeit they're both Pro Bowl TEs).

I can definitely see them doing that a lot the first few games.  But other teams will catch on to that quickly.  Its going to be a challenge to keep Sam upright this season. 

If Arnold is the second TE in the two TE set, he is the third wide receiver on passing downs.  This may be the plan for red zone situations.

I get that point but... if your not criticizing people for crowning him when we havent played any games yet then i dont know why you are responding to me for being critical of his decisions in the same format. Thats my point.

It's weird right? Guy hasn't been on the job a year yet and if you ask any questions you get people giving you the stink eye. We all want the same thing but some of us have additional perspective through the failures of past front office executives so things will get looked at a little more closely now. So far there are things to like and things that seem like more of the same ol' Panthers. Like the oline. We're gonna find out soon 🤷‍♂️

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
