I'm not sure losing to bad teams at home is ahead of schedule anymore.

Our problems are much fewer and quite obvious, though. Think about how many problems we had in 2020 or 2019 or even 2018.

That and without a young, talented core. This one sucked but this is quite the assortment of talent to build from. The bones are there for an extremely successful team. We just have to add some more meat to those bones.

When your problem is coaching the talent starts to not matter....we had a sure fire HoF QB. Trouble is he's not a HoF QB....

Next week's the Vikings.

Darnold is going to get killed behind this line if CMC isn't there for an outlet pass (or some decent blocking).

Anderson will run around the field holding hands with a defender all day and not really trying.

Our defense will play lights out for half the game, but be completely lost without Shaq Thompson.

Our special teams will continue to be only able to get one thing right ... which thing that will be is to be randomly decided at the coin toss.

Joe Brady will completely forget about screen passes, unless CMC is here and then it's 85% of the plays called.

Fitterer will trade for another DB, setting a new NFL record.

Rhule was just out coached and our team out played. 

I want more. I'm don't praising mediocrity. 

 

To this point it's been a failure. Can it turn around? Sure, I hope so. But as of now they are failures.

I am not saying I don't share those doubts, I just think that the talent they are assembling in the time they have is quite amazing. Not sold on the coaches just yet. Some good, some bad. I am still in a "wait and see" mode on them. 

I just think it's hard to have a great deal of success when your offense is so hamstrung by extremely poor OL play and underwhelming QB play.

Needing a QB and three starting OL would require one helluva off-season. Maybe we need to calm down on trying to field an all-CB defense and focus on far more glaring issues.

great franchises build Oline and Dline and don't overpay for skill guys outside of QB.

If you can sack the passer, Protect the passer and can run when you have to run you win.

But doesn’t that makes sense when you delicate and entire draft, first in NFL history, to the defense and chase high end defensive FAs…?

Given that this defense shouldn't be giving up anything like the Hurts runs and the deep ball and not getting to him with their best OL out.

Did you guys even know that btw....their best Ol was out this game and you coulda fooled our guys.

I don’t really understand this mindset. Fitt has acknowledged that he’s kicking the tires on OL and other teams aren’t interested in trading even backups. Are you saying he shouldn’t be looking to improve other position groups until he can improve the OL and QB? That seems asinine to me. He got Gilmore for basically nothing. You keep improving the team as opportunities come available.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
