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.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
