You're not Matt Rhule though...

I stipulated in one of these posts that the Panthers (note Rhule's final personnel decisions) need to display discipline and do what's best for the long term of this team.  That said, the scouts, assistant coaches and Fitts himself is going to have to work really hard to keep Rhule from doing something stupid for an apparent immediate fix that could (and probably will) screw this organization over for several years to come, long after Rhule himself has left Charlotte.

I'll wait for one of these guys:

Covered:

 
8 Will Levis Kentucky
     
9 Jake Haener Fresno State
 

I see 2 guys on loaded teams in CJ and Bryce (Bryce has some size issues as well) and then a lot of question marks.  Granted a lot more depth than this class, but still a lot of question marks before they play this coming season.  I personally like Will Levis and KJ Jefferson (not on the list) out of Arkansas has impressed me.  I live in Knoxville so I see a lot of SEC Football.  Levis has the arm/heart that keeps his outmatched team in games.  Hooker (out of UT) is decent at everything but not great.  I've always seen him as a midround backup.

Unfortunately, the guy with the least interest in the team's long-term future has final say.

Again, it may become a power struggle and may signal the end of Rhule's tenure some point during the season.  Rhule can't be the only one that talks to Tepper and if it gets to the point that Rhule is truly in a go it alone situation...against the advise of his staff and GM, then I can't see how he survives the entire season. 

I think Rhule knows this and why they are bringing in guys to win now in FA, but oddly enough with a ton of short-term deals, many of which are only at 1-year.  Fitts is willing to tango, but not at the expense of hamstringing the future of the organization.  Rhule's job isn't the only one under the microscope in this situation.  If Rhule somehow turns this thing around this year, you may see longer FA deals next offseason.

Stroud has an incredible arm. Insane accuracy and nice size.   Loaded or not he is a great prospect.  Probably #1 pick

Obviously a lot of this depends on how these guys play this year, but for as many potential 1st round options on that list, it's a least very promising even at this early juncture.  This 2023 class may turn out to be better than the 2021 one that I was wanted to grab a QB.  If DJ and Rattler can turn in sharp performances, they can easily jump into the top 10...and I think they will.

He is 6’3” which is average played with 3 NFL WRs that will probably go first round in the Big 10 where the talent goes OSU and then everyone else. His stats look very similar to Fields 2019 season.

Just curious, would you be willing to give up to first round picks and a second + a starter on our team to get Kyler Murray?  

We don't have a second to give. I'd love to find a way to swing a deal. I just don't think Arizona is at the point to trade him.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
