@CRAbelieves we should jettison Sam because "Why should we give him another year?"  

absolutely.  If a QB is horrible starting QB for 4 consecutive years.  It would be foolish to make it 5.  That becomes the definition of insanity. 

 He is a backup QB.  No shame in that.

At a minimum we need to sign a C (I'd give Elflein a run at C for the rest of the season to see what he's got), at least one OG and realistically a LT.

Beyond that I'd look for another option at TE and a competent backup QB.

Well simply stated its cause we have paid him already. We should not have taken the 5th year option in hindsight. But be as it may, we did.

Im not saying he is QB 1 next year, but cutting him would compound the issue. Bring in more oline help. Bring in competition.

If we rebuild the OL and actually get a better scheme we will be ok. OL and ST is the biggest problem on our team. Followed by LB and S. We have skill players but they can't make up for a horrible OL and bad play calling. 

We are literally missing starters at S, so that is less of a problem, IMO. The defense just needs some additional depth and an upgrade or two. The OL is a complete fuging disaster. Literally almost no salvageable parts. That is the five alarm fire that has to be addressed. 

After that, we have to upgrade to a starting caliber QB. You get both of those problems solved and we are probably looking at a winning team. Not a contending team, but a winning team.

Pretty sure Brady takes the LSU job if it’s offered to him. 
 

Our offense will continue to struggle as long as we have subpar starters on the o-line. I have no idea who will be free agents this off-season and what college has to offer in the draft but I have faith that Fitty will do everything possible to get talent.

We have a starting QB. We just don't have a starting OL.

Until the Panthers can win consistently without CMC (either to injury or ineffectiveness) we are the 90's Detroit Lion's offense that was completely dependent on Barry Sanders.  We look competent, at the very least, on offense when he's healthy and heavily involved.  Without CMC we look like a D-III college team out there.

They haven’t won consistently with CMC

Here is how I fix the Panthers in one offseason:

One) Sign Terron Armstead this offseason. IDC what it costs. Sign him to a ridiculous three year deal. 

Two a) Explore but don't break the bank for Rodgers/Wilson. I would not do anything wild but if a Stafford like deal was there pull the trigger. I'm excluding Watson for obvious reasons but should he be cleared of any legal wrongdoing I would explore that as well. 

Two b) Draft Corral or Malik Willis. 

Three) Trade Sam Darnold to the Broncos for a fourth rounder. (TBH I'm just willing this into existence)

Four) With every remaining draft pick draft OG.

Five) Convert Christensen to Guard fulltime. 

New O-line

Armstead-Christensen-Paradis-Rookie/Daley/Brown-Moton

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
