There is no easy fix for this.

Going to PJ won't fix it.  

Signing some midlevel FA won't fix it.

You have to draft a guy and give him time to develop or sell the farm for an established guy.

The worst part is you can't force it.  We might not be in position to draft a guy you actually like next year or a quality FA QB might not come available.  Maybe we have to wait 2 years.  

In the meantime you build the rest of your roster without wasting resources on players that won't help us when we finally do find our guy.

well duh now i go into hindsight mode and tell you all the moves we should've made and why my ability to be right 1/58th of the time on the internet should nominate me to be the next gm/owner/hc of the panthers

Culture on the offensive side is in the toilet. Looks like guys have no faith and frustration starting to show. Can’t keep starting Darnold and expecting the mentality to change. I think the culture on the defensive side is strong, however. Spend what few picks we have next year on OL, pick up a backup QB for a year and target the ‘23 draft for QB.

We need a franchise QB, that cures every ill with this team. Teddy and Sam weren't/aren't leaders. Team should have gone after Tyrod Taylor. The QB's in this class sucked so drafting Fields/Jones wouldn't have changed anything, maybe there is a sleeper in this next draft ala Josh Allen

I agree with the strategy but you can't keep starting Darnold after performances like he's had the last month+. 

PJ is bad, yes, and isn't the answer, yes, but it's also about not losing the locker room and looking like you're trying *anything* to give your O a chance...

i agree, you don’t go after your guy in the draft with no expenses spared and put him behind this line

have to do things properly 

this should have been started soon as Rhule stepped in the office

instead spent two years fiddling around trying to find a short cut, just delaying the process

wrong.

I've said every since we signed Matt Kalil that signing players to become something they haven't shown to be in recent years is a proposition that usually doesn't work out.

Said the same with Teddy, Said the same with Sam.

None of this is surprising, nor not supported by history.

The fix was keep Teddy and draft Fields. Now that this did not happen the new fix is tank for a real QB. Unfortunately this draft really looks like it only has one or two that would be ready anytime soon. 

I’d take a shot on Sam Howell if he’s available. Can’t be worse… then again, need OL so might not be worth the gamble

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
