  1. 1. Will the Panthers make any "win now" trades post August 31?

This was a big thing last season as we attempted to bolster the defense after a couple of injuries early in the year. Apparently we fully believed this was going to be a playoff run.

Will this happen this year? Will it be dependent on early season results?

The fact that these fuging morons thought that last years team was a couple of players away from the playoffs just shows how inept they really are. 

Yeah, no doubt. I am just curious if people think that was a fluke thing or we will start getting antsy again this season.

Yes. Rhule thinks he can win now and he might actually have some pressure to do so from Clownownership. Also Hurney trained him his first year and by all signs that is another turd he left in the punchbowl, the clasic Hurney 'we are a move away from the SB in any year regardless of facts' some of us loved so much.

Well, if the reports are true about the Baker deal, it appears Rhule may have lost that personnel power. Or at least it could be diminished. So is Fitterer as likely to take a short term view?

Yes, all it will take is for them to win a few games early and they will start to think playoffs.  I fear it will be a repeat of last season.

We will see. I think it will come down to what I said above. Who has the most power? Fitterer strikes me as a wheeling and dealing kind of guy but is he going to push for a single season like that? Seems less likely than Rhule, who is fighting for his job.

Fitterer may be fighting for his job as well.  Also, I'm not convinced it's him who's in the Mayfield camp. Where is Tepper in all this? He certainly hasn't been silent about the need for a qb. Whoever it is I wish they would keep their mouth shut.

I will be interested to see if Fitterer is out when Rhule goes. 

Apparently Fitterer is more pro-Baker than Rhule. IDK if that means Tepper is or not. He has supposedly not been exactly quiet on his feelings about the QB position since he became owner.

i think all delusions of this being a "win now" team went out the window last year..

I hope Fitts has been given the reigns more and more and Rhule is gracefully being phases out of control..

Yeah, I don't want to see "hot seat" Rhule making any trades. Hard no to Bill O'Brien moves.

If we really believe this long rebuild poo, then act like it.

IDK but I suspect Fitts is too trade happy. As far as his views we will see. I just couldn't do more than guess yet. I think if we see how he handles the QB situation and Corral's part. There were no indications we drafted him to just be a backup.

just don't give up any better than a 4th round pick. I don't care about the cap space. FFS if we hadn't drafted Corral I would be on board with Baker. Now my dude is 3rd on the depth chart and never gets a chance to shine this season. 

Package Robby Anderson in the deal too. If you can somehow trade Darnold away (highly unlikely) you obviously do it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
