Quarterbacks (2)

On the roster: Matt Corral, Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield/Jimmy Garoppolo

In the mix: P.J. Walker

Long shot: Davis Cheek

When NFL minicamps wrapped up without the Panthers and Browns finalizing a Mayfield deal, it assured the Panthers’ never-ending Great Quarterback Pursuit would drag out a few more weeks, likely into July. There’s no real impetus for either side to get a deal done now, especially considering everyone in the NFL is about to be on vacation. But the talks will pick back up as camp approaches, and the Browns will either agree to pay enough of Mayfield’s $18.8 million salary to satisfy Panthers owner David Tepper or they won’t. Trading for Garoppolo is a non-starter because of concerns over his surgically repaired throwing shoulder and $25 million salary. But the Panthers could be interested if San Francisco cuts him.

Front 7 on D on paper concerns me quite a bit. Shaq is the only legit starter at LBer, Luvu could get there as he was great in a lesser role last year but it's yet to be seen how he'll do with significant snaps on D.

DE is thin if Burns and YGM don't take steps forward and even if they do not much depth.

DT a huge concern if Brown plays like he did last year, although I do like the Ioannidis acquisition.

That group of tight ends is easily the worst in the NFL and the worst in franchise history. My God. 
 

Linebacking corp ain’t much better. Shaq is a stud but the rest is garbage. 

I agree about the right ends. Only one worse was when we had Jeff King as our starter in 2009.

If we get a QB, the era of mocking “first round TE to Carolina” will come back… ad nauseam

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
