I do think our overall talent level is improved from 2 years ago.  The gaping hole at qb makes everything look bad.  That is progress and foundation imo.

Our roster was gutted when rhule was hired.  They have swung and missed at qb twice now but there is no choice but to keep swinging. 

There were a lot of holes on this roster when Rhule took over for sure. But how many were actually improved..

OL---I'd say no (unless this year show dramatic improvement-it should)

QB--- Nope

WRs-- About the same (Maybe better if Robby plays better)

TEs-- no real improvement yet

IDL- about the same I think (debateable)

Edge- Better rushers with Reddick---worse against the run--Reddick is gone so..hard to determine

LB- No improvement really 

Safety- A little better

CBs--About the same IMO (maybe Horn changes that if he stays healthy)

I just don't see much improvement and I think the Win/Loss record the last few years supports my opinion. This year maybe some of the new pieces will help. I hope so.

Tepper seems to support Rhule more than has been reported. I can actually appreciate his remarks regarding patience and building a foundation. The thing is, I was kind of believing what he was saying until he said Darnold is a very good QB. That's where he kinda lost me and I began to question whether he's just optimistic to a fault, spouting PR bullet points, or just being disingenuous.

That presser was an absolute waste of time.

Tepper: I’m here to talk football. Not going to talk about Rock Hill or soccer. Please ask me a football question.

Reporter: *Asks a football question*
 

Tepper: I’m not going to comment on that. That’s really a question for Fitterer. Next time u see him, you can ask him that one.

What in the actual F was the point of today?!

I'm definitely the optimistic type (and mentally project out best case for additions we havent seen yet) but a lot of your argument is fair imo. 

I would disagree at cb/s.  I think that our secondary was lousy at the start of 2020 and is definitely improved.

Anybody else find it weird with his answer to committing to keeping the panthers in Charlotte?

He said multiple times that Charlotte makes the most sense for the CAROLINA Panthers. He said this a couple times and emphasized “Carolina” every time. I took that as “so long as the team remains in the Carolinas, then yea”. Didn’t answer the question. A simple “yes” was all we needed. Not some round about politician answer.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
