This is not surprising. There are pages of Huddle threads that support this assumption.  Darnold is the albatross hanging around the front organization’s neck.  
 

Corral was a deliberate and rational decision for trying to correct that long term.  I’m happy to embrace the suckage and hope we can climb out of this.

I wouldn't say they are contradictory statements.  They were hard to play against until the weakness was figured out.  As is the case with most speed defenses, running right at them can yield big gains.  That was figured out in game 4. 

The catch is not every team is equipped to run at the opposing defense.  We were still hard to play against for those offenses that rely primarily on speed and finesse.  Those are the offenses that often get throttled in the playoffs, which probably ought to be a sign to our coaching staff/front office.

Speed is a great asset in the NFL.  But, there come times when you simply need to line up and out-muscle the opponent on either offense or defense.  We haven't done that very well for a few years.  We might some improvement this year on offense if our OL shows improvement.  The defensive side of the ball remains a mystery to me in that respect.

Straight up truth.

If you think we are bummed out, imagine what the players must think having to go out there with Darnold under center again.  They must be asking themselves WTF is going on...

They are all extremely well paid and a lot of them enjoy that job, even if they lose. I would think this includes the ones that don't love the job or are staring at a contract year where this interferes with their chances.

Even on a bad team, it's a fun job that has a great minimum pay scale and all of them have been doing it a long time. Can't argue with them looking at it all and going WTF then switching over to ohh well.

Whoa...Riv sucking water...who woulda thunk it.... We've had a lot sht in CLT recently... 

That can't be.  RR threw us on his back and took us to the SB.  Everything was stacked against him but his superior coaching made us great. /sarc

No poo, it will remain as long as Tepper is owner

TBF Mike Brown is often rated one of the absolute worst owners.  He goes beyond meddling, he makes himself GM and put family in key positions.  Their playoff win drought lasted from the early nineties to last year. 

If you get lucky and land a HOF caliber QB all bets are off.   It carried the Bengals last year.  It carried RR his entire career here.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
