There is no easy fix here

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.

 

 

 

that wasn't directed at you as much as it was the board.

that said i don't entirely agree with that take, i do think there's some players you can expect to work out. And I can absolutely understand kicking the tires on Sam. He's 24 and we wanted to try something.

I don't think these results entirely were expected, this is the most cynical posters wet dream.

Why would we draft a qb when our o-line would get him “Carred”? The f’ing focus in this off-season has to be fixing our atrocious o-line and finding a real OC after Brady bolts for LSU.

And y’all can forget about Rhule being fired or leaving for a college gig, it ain’t happening.

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. 

Yep....Hindsight 20/20 we should of just kept Teddy. Everyone knew he was a stop gap, but we worsened a problem by trading assets for Darnold and picking up his option thinking he was the answer.

 

Should of treated Teddy like the stop gap he was and drafted/developed a young guy.

This narrative that Teddy was a stop gap was wrong from he start.  Somebody in the organization thought they could win with him, same with Sam

Simply put, somebody thought they could win sooner than later by "fixing" two established vets.

I don’t think we want the current regime to pick the next QB. They choose TB and Sam to be the starters with no competition, and PJ to be the backup. At the very least, they should have kept TB and had Sam compete for the starting position this year. I don’t think this is hindsight…/I think most most questioned these moves prior to the season

Because they will need something to sell to the fans to get them to come to games for one. Two, the there will be pressure to get it right this time.

I agree that Rhule won't get fired. Brady will probably be sacrificed, if he doesn't leave on his own to buy Rhule more time. Rhule can also point to injuries to his key free agent linemen he signed as a reason the offense sucked and Darnold as well.

The off-season veteran QB we were all hoping we’d get isn’t coming. Not with this staff. Tepper has a mess on his hands. He is either going to have to continue to wait it out and hope his instinct with Rhule and Fitterer is correct.
 

Or he’s going to have to fire Rhule and get Fitterer to bring in a vet coach that a vet QB will want to play for (aka Arians and Tampa). There isn’t an in between imo. I don’t see a vet QB signing with or OKing a trade to this squad right now. 
 

Im actually at the point where I think bringing Cam in is the right move to try and salvage Rhule’s credibility and trend the trajectory back upward. Can’t believe I am saying that. The other option could be Rivers but Idt he’d want to come back to play for CAR. A call needs to be made tho or the season is over.

He is one of the two I was referring to as somebody I would be cool with drafting. 

I'm warming up to Pickett. But as a whole meh class. Idk if either are as good a prospect as fields, and I'm not sold on fields. Pickett might be a solid game manager or a slinger idk yet.

Thoughts on Pickett?

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
