@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

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
