Calling Huddle GM’s: How would you fix our QB and O line in ONE offseason?

Hire Mike Munchak for an obscene amount of money as the OL coach.  He's a former 9x Pro Bowl Guard and one of the most well respected OL coaches in the game.  Make him Assistant Head Coach.  Give him a guaranteed, multi-year contract.  Whatever he wants.   Just get him here. 

Give him the first two picks in the draft.  At #6 it would likely be Tyler Linderbaum or one of the LT.  In the top of the 4th starting interior OL can still be found so trust Munchak's eye to get one there.   Then give him a blank checkbook to hire any FA linemen he needs.  Will be expensive but it will add one or two more top guys.  

All that influx of talent + Moton and great blocking schemes fixes the OL.  Brady Christensen & Deonte Brown finally get good coaching and start to develop as credible linemen.   Cut every other guy on the Panther's current OL.

Add a couple of blocking-first TE and a massive FB as UDFA.  Nobody wants those positions anymore so it wouldn't be too difficult to find them.   Also some UDFA RB to have a bunch of bodies available for the expected injuries during the season.  Fill the practice squad with these guys.

With the vastly improved OL and the extra beef to support the run,  our rushing game improves significantly.  This provides great support for the QB and makes the play-action pass work.   We're stuck with Sam Darnold as QB next year so maybe he plays "OK" with all of these improvements.  I don't think he'll ever be a long-term starter in the NFL but maybe he's good enough to get through the year.  Sign a vet QB as well.  

This team wouldn't be too explosive but would eat up clock, let the defense rest and cover up the sins of having a below-average QB.  Maybe leads to a .500 record but it would be a vast improvement over this season.  And it would set the stage for drafting a top rookie QB in 2023.  All the pieces would be in place for him to succeed right away.

What qb stud is a free agent?

 

we don’t have a day 2 pick.  

Trade is more likely so should included that there too, but Rodgers and Wilson both have potential outs of their contracts.

We have a GM with an affinity for trades, I imagine we'll end up with at least one day 2 pick.

Rodgers and wilson do not have outs in their contract to become free agents.  We would have to trade for them.  Furthermore why would either want to come here.

 

How do you imagine us getting a 2nd?  That means we either have to trade our 2022 1rst or trade down from 6.

Hire Flores

Trade for Watson

Trade with what? We don't have a 2nd or 3rd to offer with our first this year. Which means we'd have to mortgage away most, if not all, of our high picks over the next two season...meaning we won't be able to use the draft to fix the woeful offensive line

This really isn’t the big problem.

it’s a strong FA class for offensive linemen, and the panthers are picking high enough to draft a franchise QB.

My concerns are more with our inability to develop talent and a dated offensive philosophy, along with an atrocious power hierarchy. Oh, and an owner who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

I agree with everything you said in paragraph 2. You're overly optimistic in paragraph 1. 

It amazes me that so many people think Carolina is a desirable destination for highly ranked FA offensive lineman. Way too many posters keep saying we can fix the line thru free agency. Well, we're not the only team attempting to upgrade their line this off-season. 

We are on of the five or sixth worst teams in the NFL with all of the problems you clearly outlined in paragraph two. I don't think ANY good to great lineman would even consider coming here, and the last thing we need are mediocre lineman. Then again mediocre might be an upgrade at the guard and center positions.

That's for the team to convince them not me.  Idk what moves they will make between now and then to entice top players. We aren't even sure yet if we'll have the same head coach because idk how easy it will be to lure a good OC candidate away for a potential lame duck coach.  Until we've heard directly from Tepper that's still up in the air.

A day 2 pick isn't necessarily a 2nd rounder, but you can trade down in the first, trade up from the fourth, trade future draft capital, trade players.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
