The Panthers owe the fans an explanation why Sam Darnold was the only potential starting QB on the roster this season.

Why wasn't a veteran QB signed along with Darnold? Or why wasn't a rookie QB drafted? 

The chances Darnold failed were extremely high, and PJ Walker is terrible and Will Grier is probably terrible but he's not here anymore for us to find out. 

How was handing over the keys to the franchise to a QB you dumpster-dove off a bad Jets team the ONLY STARTING OPTION for this team?

No they don't and I'm about sick of this topic. We focused our energy on defense the past couple of off seasons. They knew they didn't have an offensive line. The only real QB options to trade for were Darnold and Matt Stafford. We had a trade for Stafford but he wanted to be in LA. I promise you we would have gotten Watson had it not been for his legal battles. No real other options besides Darnold. I thought it was a smart move to to see what he has for a year or 2. No QB is doing anything behind this Oline anyways so why bring in more guys. Might as well see what we have. He looked great the first 3 games but no QB in the league can survive this Oline with no CMC. Not a single one. I think we are playing in smart and will fix the offensive problems next offseason. Im so sick of the drama queens on here that think they know how to run and NFL team.

Er he wasn't.

They failed to get Stafford and Watson due to obvious

They obviously didn't have him as their first choice wtf is so hard to understand about this.

maybe they can explain why they added CJ, Gilmore, etc.....and not someone like Menshew then.  In on every deal, right?

LOL. You really need to step away and take a break from the Huddle for a bit. You're losing your mind.

Well Menshew isn't even starting in Philly where Hurts can't even throw the ball forward unless he's playing the Panthers 🤷‍♂️

Looking at what Menshew has put up it's baffling all around really because he seems like he has potential and can't land a starting gig.

No they don't. Just put the dots together. We were all in on Sam Darnold because we believed that he would he a competent QB and an upgrade over Teddy. The fact that we've targeted Teddy and Darnold as our QBs of choice tells you everything you need to know about these guys' ability to evaluate NFL QBs and might be why we're all in on a proven commodity in Watson now. We sure as hell don't want these guys identifying another "prospect".

      Peyton Wilson and Will Shipley

      By CRA · Posted

      I could see Ruke or Xavier being possibilities this year.  Top 30 visits.  Seems this group looked at Clemson more so than past regimes.   Not that I really want that to happen.  I think the last time I legitimately wanted them to draft a Tiger was Nuk.  I'm also curious if they end up doubling down on the local products.   XL checks the box.   They brought Wilson, Walker, a bunch of Clemson guys in.  Who knows.  I would like Shipley in the 4th.

      WR Corp drastically improved or not?

      By SCO96 · Posted

      DJ Clark and Jonathan Mingo were our #2 and #3 receivers behind Theilan. The two of them combined for 78 catches ,5 TDS , and 943 yards . Those are the type of number you should expect for a lone #2 receiver or a stud TE over the course of a 17 game season. To match that production level in 2024 XL would need to average 4.5 receptions per game, a TD every 3 games, and 55.5 yards per game. If XL is used properly and if Bryce is competent enough to get him the ball he should have no trouble reaching (or surpassing) those totals which would be a huge improvement for our passing game.  Theilan is still a dependable #3 and the addition of Johnson gives us a true # 1. On paper we are without a doubt better at WR. Whether or not it translates to the field remains to be seen.
