Panthers only threw 177+ yards nine games this season. Mahomes gets 177 in less than 2 mins.

Tonight's game proves having a franchise QB matters if you want to win in today's NFL. The Bills #1 ranked defense was absolutely shredded in the last two minutes and allowed the Chiefs to make their comeback.

Interestingly enough, Patrick Mahomes' last two minute performance in the 4th quarter eclipses in yardage over EIGHT games of the Panthers.

The Panthers, in nearly half their games this year, didn't even get past 177+ yards. Something Mahomes was able to do against the #1 defense in the NFL in the last TWO minutes.

Clearly, the Panthers need a QB that's able to perform at the high level we saw from Josh Allen and Mahomes. They're the future of the AFC and their duels will be legendary. The Panthers need to make their mark in the NFC and come up with a franchise-level QB too.

And coaching too, obviously. Reid and Mahomes make the perfect combo for their success. If the Panthers have hopes of competing in today's NFL they need to upgrade coaching too.

Either way, a wake-up call that the Panthers better hurry up and get their QB rather than keep throwing away at mercenaries and hope for mediocrity.

We need to draft Matt Corral. He’s the only guy in this upcoming draft with the potential to be that type of prototype. He has the cannon arm with escape ability, Pickett ceiling is Derek Carr.

I agree. Corral is the only QB that has the arm talent to be special IMO.

Patrick Mahomes wouldn't be the same Patrick Mahomes that we saw last night if he had been drafted by the Giants rather than Andy Reid. Josh Allen wouldn't be the same Josh Allen that we saw last night if he hadn't gone to Buffalo and Sean McDermott. 

Yes, every team needs a franchise QB. They also need a complete head coach, an intelligent GM, an effective + ever-evolving system/scheme, a competent OL, and a defense that can create turnovers.

It won't matter who the QB for the Panthers is unless the team can create an environment in which a QB can be successful. The current state of the franchise, with Matt Rhule leading the way, does not look to be it.

This next season is about as much of a throw away as John Fox's lame duck year. Rhule is going to be forced to carry this mess through his third season and when the wheels fall off the biggest question will likely be, "Does Fitterer stay or go as well?"

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
