I was pretty upset we didn’t get Watson at first, but I will admit I’m glad we didn’t. That’s a lot of guaranteed money for a guy with two torn acls and been out of the league for over a year with legal issues. Good job Panthers I will admit I was wrong 

The tipping point for me, as well as the Panthers, was fully guaranteeing his contract.  There are too many reasons why that is a bad idea and I'm glad Tepper wasn't desperate enough to give in.  I'm also super happy he didn't end up in Atl or N.O.  Would have hated to play him twice a year.

I wish him luck and hope he pushes Cleveland over the hump.

The overall roster is in a much better place. We still need a QB (and a coach) but if you fire Rhule after this year and hire a legit coach you're basically in the Broncos' situation where you have all the pieces in place minus a QB and then you're in a position to actually lure in a legit vet looking for a fresh start.

I think Tepper/Fitt realized we have to make this roster more attractive to QBs if we ever want to land a solid one in a trade or develop one we draft.

Agreed but I don’t think there will be a vet like Stafford, Watson or Wilson available next season or any time soon. Maybe but it’s rare as hell for guys like that to ever become available and I don’t see any right now on the horizon. Probably need to nab one in the 2023 draft even if we have to trade up to get our guy.

No not like those guys but as of now Jimmy G, Lamar and Carr are scheduled to be UFAs next year.

Tbh there are some really intriguing options at QB next season. Although I'm pretty sure we will draft a QB this year trying to save Rhule job.

I don't think Rhule will tie himself to Darnold this year. Whether it's a rookie or yet another afterthought vet we'll see.

I like Carr but he’s not on those guys levels. Jimmy G shouldn’t be starting for a team with playoff aspirations. Lamar won’t be available.

DW's vibes are ridiculous. he literally called up Atlanta out of the blue, got them to sabotage their relationship with their long-time franchise QB, and then left them at the altar to pick up the pieces. if I didn't feel so grimy about him as a person, I'd almost respect it.

Two moves could have made this damn near perfect for me... 

Starting SS: Which would have moved Chinn back to LB. Woods is a good pickup but imo he was brought here to be the SS. I still hate the idea of Chinn being a FS. Hell, if your going to force arguably the DROY at LB to S atleast play him at SS. Too much talent not to play him as close to the LOS as possible. The man had two defensive TD's on consecutive plays for God's sake. 

Starting LT: Still don't know if Brady is the plan or we've got somebody in mind in FA. Worst case he's the backup swing tackle. LG is still open but we can manage via the best at camp. With our new Oline coach I wouldnt be suprised if Brown finally got his spot solidified. 

With those moves we could basically follow last years strategy. Trade back and BPA the entire 7 rounds. Rhule could take the pick at 6 but there's no way in hell we dont look to get back into the 2-3 rounds..I dont think he even has the discipline to sit through 100+ picks without the gears in his head spinning. Even if that meant giving up next years picks to do so 

Add in: Throw Cam in there and we might actually have something.

  I woke this morning thinking and being grateful now that we lost the Watson deal. We have signed 5-7 free agents in places of need. Extended our best receiver and still have money and some draft picks. Watson my have been good, But I feel we really won in what we did. I have hope for the future now. 

I hope our future includes that mothf)(*Y) rule gets FIRED!

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Pretty much. I'm basically treating Bryce as a rookie again this coming season in that I have no stats expectations, no wins expectations, I'm just looking for him to pass the eye test. Just show me that you have the talent to be a legit NFL QB.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      Anyone could clearly see right out of the gate that our offensive play calling was horrendous. Anyone. The fan base was expecting secret plays that we were holing back during preseason to catch the opposition by surprise. That didn't happen. We got old recycled plays from the early 2000's that were embarrassing and didn't even come close to working. Then to make matters worse, we KEPT calling the plays that didn't work and looked awful OVER AND OVER again for weeks. Team after team knew what was coming, and what was coming was idiotic. The quadruple deep hook route was the worst of it because it led to a sack of bad pass 100% of the time. We were not call plays to set up the defense, but rather we were calling plays in a vacuum as though the previous failed plays didn't happen. Didn't matter what the opposing defense was doing, we just kept calling mediocre 00's plays that no one else was running. No one got open. Then, like a blind squirrel finding a nut, a play would work by accident, and Young would throw a turkey to nowhere, or not even notice guys were open. Young was a nightmare. Weak, confused, and rolling out the right to throw a turkey to the sidelines or nowhere. Over and over and over again. Opposing safeties were confusing Young with motion and by baiting him, but the worst part was his noodle arm. Overcranking deep passes to mars that would have been TDs with a better QB was soul stealing to see. What now? We're just trying to not have a disastrous 24' season. Just hope for improvement from Young, and good play calling. Maybe we can get 4 or 5 wins. Keep your expectations low, and if Young becomes a star you can be thrilled. The odds are low.

      I have deep concern that the answer might be both. Reich did a terrible job of catering to Bryce while Bryce just flat out didn't look like he had starting NFL talent.
