Panthers have to “make a true investment” in the OL

Agree

A lot of the people that want us to go OT in the draft are the same people who want us to get rid of Sam, but I think if we go OT in the draft that means there is a good chance, they plan on going with Sam next year.

 

Ppl need to accept this.. No matter what or who gets fired we're probably going with Sam next year.. When that 5 year option was picked up.. This became a 2 year experiment... Unless Fitts can turn water in to wine.. Nobody is taking Darnold off our books..

Well, we unfortunately don’t have a choice. If Marty read some of our draft threads our OL would have been vastly better.

The one thing I will say on the OL is that we haven’t really even tried to improve it. We’ve taken Little and BC before the 6th round. That’s it. I have no idea if we can’t scout OL because it sure seems like we haven’t even tried and the one guy who busted was Rivera/Hurney.

I’d say this season is proof this staff doesn’t have much of a clue though.   They put Sam Darnold behind this OL and thought they could win

His quote sounds to me like they were not even going to select Sewell last year even if he was there.   

Jmo if Sewell was there watching the video he was everybody 1st choice.. Tepper would have probably thrown the phone at Rhule and Fitt if Sewell was there...

How happy he was when they drafted BC and he told BC that he was truly happy he was there to be drafted.. Tepper wanted Oline or Young QB and got talked out of it.

If Sam sees the field next year we might as well find a new team.   Maybe you have to keep him on the books but it isn’t hard or expensive to find better than Sam. 

if Sam is the guy week 1 next year….we are the biggest joke in the NFL.  Not the Jets.  Not the Lions.  The Panthers.  It’s not hard to go in with a plan that is better than Sam.

I laughed bc that's who they picked for a QB. The guy is just not a starter in the NFL.  That's why you don't  hire a low level college coach to be your NFL coach and give him the keys to the city who hasn't proved anything in the NFL yet. If you came from a dominating conferences in college and worked magic I would say maybe. But what is a  Baylor and Temple...Come on man!

 If the Panthers trade back to pick up more draft choices and no blue chip left tackle is  available i want them to select:
Tyler Linderbaum*, C, Iowa
Height: 6-3. Weight: 290.
Projected 40 Time: 5.1.
Projected Round (2022): 1-2.
View Ranking History

12/11/21 Linderbaum is a very polished and well-rounded player. The 6-foot-3, 290-pounder plays with good leverage and demonstrates advanced hand placement. He is able to sink his hips to anchor against bull rushes while showing quickness and agility to adjust to speed. Linderbaum looks like a safe pick to become a quality starter in the NFL, and he could be selected in the back half of the first round if he enters the 2022 NFL Draft.

He is going top 10

Man you can do that poo..

Good or bad I'm here.. I live CAROLINA fug everybody else until I die.. 

I'll be here every week to watch that joke play out..

 

But Reality is.. You're paying him 20 mil nobody else is taking him off our hands and they are already giving him built in excuses..

And at this point if Rhule keeps his job he should be forced to ride it out with Sam...

I hope we stick with Darnold (and PJ as our backup lol) if Rhule is retained for 2022.  Don't waste any more resources on QBs for this shitty staff to ruin/fail to rehab.

Exactly. Been saying this. This is the best route is for some reason he is retained, Rhule has been allowed to give away too much to find his guy. He has already made his choices. Stop fuging giving him more rope when he’s been dead on the tree for weeks.

If they do draft a QB I hope to god he sits. Rhule needs to be forced to win games with Darnold. All he is doing is hurting this franchise with his dumbass poo. No more.

Ugh man he'll just draft Pickett and start him and run him into the ground... 

I feel like they can't let this dude decide on a third (fourth? Fifth? Depending on how you count it) qb to try to save his job.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
