I get it man, I really do.  It makes me nervous too.  However, evaluate Pickett yourself.  I want to hate him, but he's actually a pretty decent prospect.

I don't see him changing the trajectory of the team in a way that building a good OL will. 

Pickett was good, but nothing about him screamed world beater, must draft prospect.

His name was Justin Herbert

One good think you can say about out meatballs. He could evaluate the fug out of the top 15 or so players in any given draft. The man nailed every top 15 pick he ever made. If that was his only job he'd be in the ring of honor

The problem with meatballs is that we were constantly picking top 15 with him as GM due to the other 6 draft picks (if we were lucky to have them all) and the terrible FA signings.

At least now, you'll never again have to worry about picking 7th-15th, because the only time the Panthers will ever have a first-round pick outside the top 6 is if they acquire one in a trade.

You're wrong.  When you look at the different combinations, the common denominator for success is the QB.

If you have a bad QB, it doesn't matter at all how good your line is.  Hello New Orleans Saints.

If you have a good QB and a bad line, it comes down to coaching and scheme.  Hello Cincinnati Bengals.

For clarity, I'm not implying either of those scenarios fit the Panthers.  I'm also not implying that a good OLine is irrelevant.  But when you talk about truly changing the trajectory of a team, only a good QB can do that with any regularity.

This is why it just baffles the mind why we seem to be completely opposed to the idea of taking a swing at one.  Yes, 100%, we're going to miss.  QB's even in the first round are 50/50 chances.  But you aren't winning the lottery unless you buy a ticket, and we seem completely unwilling to do so.

Itll be we listened to the fans. By the way justin fields is a bust. You take tackle.

He very well could be, too early. I'm 100% with you about the Slater pick. It was the only great pick we could have made. Horn should be good but it's CB, tons of those around.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
