Things are not well on Mint Street.

Benching Sam is about all they can do to change things up.  But it will not change the fate of this season. Blood will need to be sacrificed at the end of the season. 

So Rhule gambled on Darnold. For Rhule to save his own job he probably has to bench Darnold, let the other guys suck, blame it on and fire Brady, and gamble on Darnold again next year. They gave up too much to cut Sam and no one would trade for that guaranteed money either when you can get a Trubisky/Winston/etc for under $5 million on a prove it deal.

Amazing how folks are coming out and defending Brady and Fitterer. 

I guess there were people working to defend the command crew of the Titanic after the fact, too. The boat still sank, the tragedy still happened.

It's a Confederacy of Dunces up there. 

Even a casual fan could see that the QB position was not addressed properly this offseason and the fans are livid. No wonder the stadium is going to be full of opposing team's fans or just empty.

The entire organization signed off on having Sam Darnold as the one and only starting option this season. That was mind-numbingly stupid. I've said all along that trading for him was not a bad idea as long as you signed a veteran QB behind him (Colt McCoy pr Andy Dalton type QB), or drafted a rookie.

They needed to throw talent at the QB position and see what stuck. They did not do that and that was a huge failure on their part. It should cost some people their jobs.

The offense is damn near unwatchable. If it was a rookie QB that I believed would be better it would be much more tolerable, but that’s not the case. If only we kept our picks and drafted Fields we could use round 1 and 2 on OL next year with a young promising rookie. The worst part is many people on here saw this coming…

Fitterer basically made one bad call (Darnold) and everyone knew it was a low risk, high reward proposition. Thinking he can’t evaluate bc of that deal is foolish. 
 

The Gilmore trade could turn out to be a coup. The jury is still out on Henderson. He’s a second year player who’s playing behind a heck of a lot of talent in the secondary. If you think you’re getting more than that out of a 3rd round pick then you’re dreaming. 

Not drafting a QB, not drafting a tackle until round 3, trading a 3rd for a corner that can’t even crack the 53, trading perryman, signing oft injured players to decent contracts

From what time hear there is a ton of tension constantly in the building. Everyone, and I mean everyone employed is feeling it.

 

Tepper ain't happy. Pissed in fact. Something could happen this week.

move the team!? new owner!? i think starting over as an expansion team would net better results than the past five years.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
