This has proven to be a pathetic draft class for us. 

-Jaycee Horn looked great those first games. So did the rest of the team. Injury took him out. We never got to see him against actual competition.

-Terrace Marshall, Jr. Had some injury time off, but was basically outperformed on the field by Zylstra. The guy is like our #5 receiver on the field.

-Brady Christensen Apparently a third stringer since he only sees the field after numerous injuries and is rarely in his normal LT position (even when there's a need).

-Chuba Hubbard: Good back-up to CMC, which is a necessity. Has hands of stone, though. Stick 'em is outlawed, so what are we gonna do? Thank goodness for Abdullah being available, huh?

Daviyon Nixon: He's been on the field. Not much of a run stopper. Not much of a pass rusher. Might be able to spell some other players in rotation.

Keith Taylor: Well, there's a CB, again. We have like 19 of them or something. 

Deonte Brown: Went to IR for weight issues I guess. Plays on national championship team as a starter. Never sees a regular season snap on a line in desperate need of players.

Shi Smith: Training camp hero, scrappy underdog. Couldn't pick him out of a lineup if asked, where is he? I've seen the redheaded trainer on the field more than him this year.

Thomas Fletcher: We drafted a long snapper, then Nancy Kerriganed him to send him to the IR because we thought 84-year old JJ Jansen was a better choice (okay, JJ rocks, but still).

Phil Hoskins: He saw the field, I know he did, right. Made a bit of an impact, showed some promise. Did he go to IR or did he just get benched for another Temple dude?

Ad we've traded away our second and third round draft picks next year for Sam Darnold and CJ Henderson. Those haven't aged well.

you are judging our rookie class 4/5 into their rookie season. Here is my rebuttal:

Jaycee Horn : his injury is no reason to call him "pathetic"
Terrace Marshall Jr: His growth has been stumped by the obvious.. too early to judge
Chuba: Has played very well as a rookie in this league 
Daiyon Nixon: He was balling before his week 8 knee injury that ended his season... so not sure what you mean "he's been on the field"
Keith Taylor: Depth who has proven he can start
Deonte Brown: ghost player.
Shi Smith: Doesnt have a spot on game day and was a 6th round pick.
Thomas Fletcher: Not a fan of the move
Phil Hoskins: He is a space eater and played well two weeks ago. 7th round pick...

Yeah that's the pot calling the kettle black.

I still want the guy from the 49ers that walked away from the human centipede that is the Panthers organization currently. That is a smart guy, not the lackie of a failed NFL coach. 

The idea that Rhule is the only problem is the same failure that led this staff to believe they were going to do a 5 year plan. It's just not grounded in reality and becomes instant BS.

If a guy is taking a job as a GM while deferring final say to a guy coming from Temple and Baylor, he ain't worth hiring. A good candidate isn't taking that deal.

It's the same as the environment he came from in Seattle. And with that team, it worked.

I'd ask you these questions:

Do you really want to...

1) Replace both a coach and GM in the same offseason?

2) Leave that kind of full rebuild in the hands of David Tepper?

That's who's going to be picking both our next coach and our next GM if we don't keep Fitterer around.

Carroll is a proven NFL coach though. Big difference.

1. Yes. If I didn't want this guy having full control, why do I want Rhule's babysitter and paper pusher sticking around?

2. It is anyway. Sadly.

I would pay him just to go to Vegas with me so i could bet against every word he said?

1) If there is any mercy in the universe, yes. That is how we ended up here in the 1st damn place, clean the shithouse.

2) Why not, version one has already imploded. At least the next one would be different than the last, which was Hurney level.

      That might balance out because apparently the Texans O-line is ass. He did manage to throw for almost 300 yards the last two weeks though.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By frankw · Posted

      Don't forget that Rhule actually took Tepper's offer to the Giants and they balked. He was just seeking the big payday which should have been a red flag. I have no idea how much time Tepper spends within the Panthers building. I do know that he in the past has been too much involved. He supposedly held weekly meetings with Reich. Then after firing Reich Tepper he held a press conference where he did virtually all the talking and made it about himself. Before that Tepper went out of his way to bloviate to the press about how he spoke to Bryce Young months before the draft and directly told him he wanted him to be a Panther. Then he went to the well of his selling point about Bryce being a point guard and we wouldn't need to invest in elite weapons. The guy thinks and talks like he knows what he's doing. At the end of the day the franchise has been in the gutter in large part due to he and his wife's involvement. It is what it is. Appreciate the convo.

      Unlike most of you, I do not assume the FO thinks he is beyond repair.  For the first time since 2017 the Panthers have a chance to be in the playoffs. One more game will tie them for the most wins since 2018, 2 more wins will put them at 8 wins - the most in 8 years.  Hate all you want but a big part of that success has come from Bryce. He got them in the hole with Miami but he got them out of it as well and was a big part of that win. Against Dallas, he played very well throughout the game plus he converted on a 4th down in the final minutes putting them in FG range for the win. He may not have had a good game against the Packers but he did convert on two 3rd down conversions in the final minutes to help seal the win and of course the Falcons game was his best yet. Tepper likes him and they have a huge investment in him as well. You don't just throw that away unless you have something concrete lined up behind him - which I just don't see.
