There's a lot more evidence to suggest they have no idea what they are doing.  There is very little to point to that says "these guys know what they are doing".  That is reality.  Sorry.  I hate it too, but I'm done denying it.

The draft last year was very good to great.  Our star CB first rounder got injured.  It happens.  Our second round WR wasn’t ready yet.  Normal.  Brady showed some talent.  Hubbard was really good.  Tremble looks promising.  The rest we will see but that was a very good draft

I mean dude come on. He’s right on that. A long time college and NFL head coach and an NFL GM definitely know more football than 99.99% of the randoms online. 

So what?  They are ineffective at an NFL level.  All that takes is observation of their performance relative to their peers.  We don't need to be one of their peers to observe the results of that.

Sam Darnold is a better QB than anyone on this board, but he is a bottom of the barrel tier QB at the NFL level.  We don't have to be NFL QBs to evaluate that.

I get being optimistic, but I'm past the point of no return with this administration.  It just tickles me to deny any rumors that we've offered packages for Watson, because our front office is too smart for that.

Which QB last offseason would have solved all our problems?  Please enlighten us

We had to get a new QB…there is no way anyone could stick with Teddy.  Anyone denying that would be crazy 

I mean maybe Justin Fields…who I wanted but that ship has sailed

Dude Rhule and Fitty know more football than you could ever imagine.  Stop being ridiculous 

This argument gets repeated on here often. Of course they know more than fans. The thing is it's irrelevant.

Rhule and Fitty need to know more and be better than the guys they compete with like McVeigh and Arians and Snead and Licht.

One starter who missed 75% of the season doesn't strike me as a very good draft.  Marty pulled that off with his eyes closed.  They contributed some which is a welcome change but I wouldn't be betting on them working out.

NFL draftees can’t get injured?  Good luck with that

That has nothing to do with anything I posted, but I'll bite.

There is no QB that would have solved all of our problems.  There will never be a single player that solves all the problems on a team by himself.  But the answer certainly wasn't to trade away Teddy so that we could trade away draft choices and commit significant money to Sam Darnold for 2022.  Signing Teddy was a mistake too, but at that point it would have been best to just roll with him.  But if we had to move on from Teddy, the answer was literally any other veteran FA or cheap trade target.  (5th or worse round pick)

Rhule and Co have gone in big two seasons in a row on QBs they shouldn't have.  (63M for Bridgewater and picks plus 5th year for Sam).  Going all in on Watson is not outside of the realm of possibility for them IMO.  Especially considering this is likely a make or break year for Rhule.

Edit:  And on Horn, yes he looked impressive.  But if Darnold was the one who got hurt in that game against Houston, do you think that changes how we view Darnold now?  Just something to think about.

Arians?  LOL.  The Panthers are going to look so different this coming season.  All you guys will feel bad

Hey man…I appreciate the post.  Every comment you made is hindsight.  It is extremely easy to evaluate things after the fact,  but incredibly hard to make the calls

Oh, I have little doubt that the Panthers are going to make me feel bad, but it won't be because they exceeded my expectations.

I agree with what you are saying. In addition, I wonder how if the impending loss of Reddick's pressure will always impact our DBs

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
