So now...everyone (Panther staff) says we need to build the oline. Fitt says you build a team with the oline and dline.  What the heck were they doing last year?  Why did they just wake up and have this revelation?  Teddy was sacked a bunch. And why do you think he had all those short throw?. Had to get the ball out quick. Anytime it was crunch time the oline crumbled. Then they went out and got a QB who was considered a failure who had played behind a terrible oline.  They did the same thing to him.  This just baffles me. Now they say it is important????

Yea basically man...could have had no hindsight 20/20 guys in Slater(pro bowler already) and Brown and honestly several others that would have been better than some Miller/Jordan who may be the worst G combo imaginable

It’s just a generic thing you say to try and satiate the bloodlust 

“we have to get better up front”

”we didn’t do a real good job executing”

”we as coaches have to do better”

by singling out this one obvious and specific but ultimately small thing and intentionally missing the forest for the trees, you hope to make people look away from the big picture massive misfires that could cost you your job.

Bc thats what needs to be done. Nothing else they can really say right now. They've been preaching oline since the begining of the season, especially Fitts.

Meanwhile they tried to trade for any corner available. How do some of you still gobble this stuff up? It's one thing to look on the bright side and another to just put on a blindfold.

What the hell are you talking about?  Speculation is not "gobbling this stuff up."  It tells me that they do not have anyone who can evaluate OL talent and they tried to wing it-they really thought Erving and Elflein would be solid starters, based on the timing and salaries.

having a poor offensive line for a season is unfortunate but isn’t going to cost you your job

You can easily pass off a number of excuses to your boss

”well it was a rebuild”

”in the salary cap era it’s really hard for teams to field 22 great players”

“The Horn injury makes everything look worse”

but the kind of colossal and costly misjudgments they’ve made at the QB position can’t be excused or hidden or explained away, and in the NFL, you don’t usually get to make that mistake twice

Their idea of addressing the oline was signing two discarded backups on the first day of free agency who were two of the worst linemen in the league. They cared so much about the oline and the health of their quarterbacks they went all in on their secondary instead. I simply do not understand how anyone can take them at face value now. This should have happened last year. In truth it should have began in 2020. They get no pat on the back for singing this song now.

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
