The Panthers….. not an attractive destination for top shelf talent?

Other than the obvious small market team factors, the fact that have been a bad franchise is an obvious one(no winning seasons since 2017). We also have an EXTREMELY inexperienced and possibly ill-suited coaching staff. That is not going to get win-focused veterans on board, most likely. We also don't have a lot of elite talent here(mostly young talent). Great players want to be surrounded by other great players, because it helps them win more easily. 

Right now, we are probably most likely a team that is looking at being a destination for big name/elite free agents looking for a paycheck. That's not the place you want to be.

But, winning will cure all that. If we build a winning team, better players will want to come here.

The Panthers are a mediocre small market team and has always been so. Previous management regimes didn't seem to like going after the expensive big names either. Negative player treatment and experiences, Gano, Newton, Bridgewater, etc, are another issue. Negative experiences always get talked about more than positive ones.

Overthinking this.

We are a smaller market and still building so the “vets” are always gonna chase a ring or payday (with payday winning 9 out of 10 time.

Oooooo Kelly Stafford wanted to live in LA over Charlotte big whoop.

Gano’s main gripe isn’t even here anymore.

Whitworth thing is hindsight because everyone thought the dude had like 2 years left.

The further in the rearview the Whitworth thing is, the larger it is. We'll never know if we were ever an option or if we ever contacted him, but the Whitworth vs. Kalil comparison is one for the ages. A HOF caliber player vs. one of the biggest busts in franchise history.

I dont wanna trade for big name people.  I want to draft them and not fug it up.

This is the answer….also, the poor player has no choice but to play out his contract, or get dumped/traded by the franchise that drafted them.  Very few players end their careers with the franchise that drafted them.

It is what it is.

Smart move from Stafford. I thought he was washed up but he is gonna get some MVP votes this year and the Rams are a legit SB contender. 

Yes they gave up a ton of draft capital but amazing how they turned that team from Goff/TGIII to Stafford/Kupp/Henderson

How do y'all think that Miami isn't as much of a cluster as we are?  Could be that Watson would rather have the larger city to disappear in with a much more "exciting" nightlife.  He could also be looking at the tax situation and thinking that Miami is a better because he keeps more of his cash.  He could just love the beach, and Miami is closer to that than Charlotte is.

Sure, the complaints about the Panthers are all very valid, but let's also not forget about the non-football aspects of the various locations.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
