Rhule needs a Mac Jones-type who can look halfway decent immediately, and Pickett’s the only quarterback in the draft remotely in that category.

I was a fan of trying to trade back a few and picking up Jones or Slater. Jones isn't the most athletic, but he's better than average, which is better than what we've had in 3 years.

Jones would not have had success with the Panthers last season like he did with NE.  Our leaky OL would have exposed his lack of athleticism.  But him on the roster with fixing the OL this draft would have worked.   We'd then have all the pieces for a decent offense.

I agree but I don't think tepper has lost any money on the Panthers.  Plenty of network money and other sales keep coming in.

Not to mention ~62,000 season-tickets/seats for which PSL owners ante up for in advance every season, year-in, year-out, for decades...

...regardless of what the the on-field product looks like.

That is a fact.  I almost was one of them.  Had to raise 2 grandkids about that time so I couldn't lay the cash down.

PSL owners are trapped. There is no resale value to them anymore. Owners are stuck with a bad investment. They try to sell, who is going to buy them? How low would they have to sell them to actually get a buyer? 

They are stuck and have no choice but to hold on and wait until there are better days. My condolences to the whole lot of you.

I get Tepper wants to run his own show but I’m still surprised he didn’t bring on at least one guy that is NFL savvy to ease his transition into ownership and hiring the right people.

It didn’t even need to be a full time hire or committee. Just a guide, NFL shaman

Jones would've looked like Jimmy Clausen if he played for the Panthers last year.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
