I have a question

Good question LP. I think the Panthers thought they made the moves to address the OL and DL this past offseason but they were miserably wrong. This to me is what tells me these guys do not know what they are doing. Most could see the OL was going to be a problem before the season started so how could a highly paid NFL coach not see it?

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 throwS?. 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????

From who got brought in last offseason, I believe Fitt must have been a resume` reader and didn't watch much tape or check with the doctors.

Yea he said a team is built on the lines and that’s the ‘foundation’. Which is true. But…

the resources went to CBs..

and defense…

and positions outside the line…

one sole ‘top pick’, more like mid pick for BC.

that’s it. Trash brought in.

said line was priority. But why now? Why not before? It’s the foundation.

very confusing

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. 
 

textbook PR maneuvering 

“We are going to play physical football and are going to be an attacking offense and defense”

This absolutely tells me this front office is in over its head.  Signing those 2 scrubs the first fuging hour of free agency is all you need to know about how stupid rhule is in evaluating lineman.  Not picking one in the 2020 or 2021 first round is another example.  He (and probably Fitt) are fuging clueless and this is looking like a clown show.

They don’t know what they’re doing. What they say and what they do have been two very different things.

It isn’t like the position was ignored. They just made awful decisions trying to address it. 

Exactly. They thought they could turn these guys into quality, reliable starters even though their histories said otherwise. Same with Darnold. Total lack of ability to evaluate, or even worse, their ego told them they could make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.

I guess you had 4 questions. Or maybe 3.5 as the last one isn't really a question. 

What the heck were they doing last year?

They drafted and signed several lineman on both sides of the ball.

Why did they just wake up and have this revelation?

Did they? See above answer to first question.

And why do you think he had all those short throwS?

Because the Oline sucked.

Now they say it is important????

Yes????

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
