In other words, do what they should have already done. Now we're two years into a rebuild with a bum coach and no end in sight

Yeah...drafting someone this year, regardless of who they were, likely wouldn't have worked out any better.

You have to be able to protect the qb and this line can't.

If they'd play Brown and Christensen at their natural positions and see what they had there we'd possibly be closer to fixing it, but, Rhulevera has to play the vets because...vets.

Why would any QB want to come here. With the state of our OLine, it's not even about winning championships or not. It's about not wanting your body to get beat to hell and needing a cane to stumble your cripple ass around at the age of 45.

No kidding.  We will have to draft a QB because anyone with the power to choose will not want to  play behind a line as weak as we keep putting on the field.

Absolutely…and the bad thing is if we draft a QB, how are we going to invest in the line? We have no draft picks and we could tell from this past offseason that you have to pay crazy money to even get scrub level talent like Elf who is graded as The worst pass blocking center in the league.

I don't like the either / or approach and see it as more of all of the above. We need to cleanout the deadweight on the roster, figure out as much Cap mitigation as possible and try to do it all even though we won't be able to pull that off. If a good QB is there, pull the trigger. If a LT is there pull the trigger. If we can trade back and draft 3 interior Olinemen pull the trigger. Nothing will be perfect, take best value and see what's next we can do. QB is top of the value chart when you don't have one. I would also be fine not playing them immediately. 

I'm only worried about more poor talent evaluations and making picks ignoring positional value and need.

If this is an example of what we're to expect from Rhule in the future, Tepper would do well to cut ties with Matt in the coming weeks.  No way Panthers can afford such a reckless individual to have the keys to the kingdom.  Rhule will ruin this franchise for years if he is retained for 2022.

I agree 100% with your assessment of the inept,dude of a coach, Rhule.  However, we need look no further than Tepper himself as the man responsible for approving  these type actions that are putting the Panthers building plans in complete reverse.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
