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.

      Rico Dowdle is an absolute dawg

      Aggressive runner, hits the hole fast, and runs angry.  Just a few yards shy of the single game record for the team.  Absolutely phenomenal performance.  If the gameplan hadn't become weirdly pass heavy for the 3rd and first half of the 4th quarters he might have been flirting with 300.

      Why is Canalas so pass happy?

      I felt that way before the season started, but I'm sorry, he's already proven he isn't that guy, I don't need to learn anything more about him. He threw the ball 30 times today and could only throw for 198 yards, which was his 2nd best yardage game this year, he's just not the guy. Which means this season has already moved onto the 2nd most important thing going into this season after evaluating Bryce, and that's developing our best young players. You don't do that by only throwing 8 of your 30 passes to your best player who is still only a rookie.  Pepper him with targets and help develop him so he's ready to take a huge leap next year when we get a real HC and QB to get him the ball.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      Every win comes from a non-sustainable source.  As CRA mentioned, Penix absolutely imploding against ATL, and then today, defense finally clicked and looked the best they’ve looked in a long time (and still have up 24 points lol) and Rico ran for 200+ yards.  We’re not going to get that every week, especially against good teams, which neither Miami or ATL are.  Both MIA and ATL are bad teams and Bryce still couldn’t get it together.  The defense (and team) had to overcome 14 points because of his turnovers again.  That was not even an average QB performance.  We are winning in spite of him.
