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.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
