So, exactly how long has it been since this team had a legitimate roster, complete with a serviceable O-line, and a QB you could actually hang a loss on? Cam Newton, 2015 season? 

It's been 6 fugging years since this team was almost whole and complete? It's been 6 years since the last time there weren't glaring holes on the roster, like an O-line, or DBs, or a running game, a franchise QB?

6 fugging years since a fan could sit down, watch a game and know that the only reason the Panthers should lose is because they get outscored. Not because they have no O-line, no running game, no DBs, etc. and all the other good reasons this team lost games.

2017 was a pretty legit team as well.

And that ONE year was an anomaly.

gotta just roll with PJ, he compliments a run heavy offense with his legs 

Did you not see him fall flat on his face when he had a very wide open lane to run in?

It needs to be made into a gif with Benny Hill music, or Three Stooges "wub wub wub wub" or some silly "doink bonk" noises.

I'd love to see what he has, tbh.  It's not like PJ is our answer at backup let alone starter.

Ofc if Darnold is ready that's a moot point.

Someone spent a decent Draft pick on Morgan. Nobody drafted Walker.

I'd much rather see Morgan on Sunday.

What do you consider to be a 'franchise' QB?

In my opinion there's only like 10 of them in the game - everyone else you're always trying to upgrade. 

This team is much better than it was under the last years of Rivera - he and Hurney left us dead in a ditch. It looks like he's taking Washington to the same ditch now.

    • 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.
