Anybody got a breakdown for those that can’t/don’t want to listen?

-The talk about the pros about starting over with a gm/hc attached

-Some young pieces albeit expensive, not sure how we got in salary cap hell without a qb

-If we keep fitt he probably is going to want to see what MC can do at QB

-our front office doesnt seem to be on the same page in regards to building a team

I would be happy with a new GM but I see no good path for Tepper to hire one on his own, maybe hire a consultant to hold his hand? Just fire Suliman asap. That guy has done nothing but create a giant mess for no reason other than he wanted to show how smart he was. I don't want to see that guy involved at any level at this point. How you get this bad with the cap without a QB is mindboggling and indefensible.

New HC/GM and draft a QB in the top 10 is the quickest way to fix this mess.  Trade away the expensive assets like CMC and if we can get a return for RA/Shaq (otherwise cut them).  We should have a decent OL for a young QB to learn behind plus DJ Moore and some cheap young WRs in TMJ and Shi.  We have a rough year next year, but after that the cap doesn't look too bad.

Everything is dire for every bad team before it suddenly isn't. NFL turn around a can happen on a dime. Hit the right coach/QB combo and your moving up.

This teams first goal needs to be hitting on a coach, and that coach should understand the value of hitting on a good young QB. To me any, any coach that says in the interview, "I want a veteran guy to start," during a rebuild, should be off the table.

Didn't listen yet but I don't agree that we're in horrible shape in terms of roster/assets. We're in horrible shape because Tepper is a meddling moron, but IF he's able to remove himself from the process and hire a Sean Payton or Jim Harbaugh type proven head coach (or hit on a young offensive minded HC) I think that coach would have a lot to work with. Baker isn't great but is a fine stopgap plus we can take a QB high next draft. Other than that we've got a promising OL, McCaffrey, Moore, Robbie (for now) is a solid #2. On D we have several core young players in Horn, Chinn, Burns, Shaq, Donte. Just need good coaches to get the most out of these guys.

We can't take a qb in the first if we get peyton.  The saints will most certainly want our first pick

Unfortunately you can't "trade away" CMC at this point - his contract/cap hit makes it so that the value the Panthers could get back for him isn't worth taking the dead money hit anyway. At best you're going to get maybe a 4th round pick for CMC, and that's likely to come from a contender so it'd be a late 4th most likely. At this point, the Panthers just have to live with the contract and keep him around for a young QB, whether that's Corral or a top 5 pick next year, to lean on and get acclimated to the NFL. 

Not sure what the appetite is to cut Shaq (I imagine not high), but cutting him and Robbie would result in a ~$21m dead cap hit, but free up about ~$26m in cap space.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      If you want to say DJ ran a lazy route, fine. But that throw was garbage. There was a window just outside the hash marks but that ball was thrown damn near to the sideline. I don't know what route DJ was supposed to run but if you're Ben Johnson you also have to know your QB in this situation. Williams is a gunslinger at heart and any points on this drive wins you the game. You gotta protect him from himself and be methodical. Draw up a deep shot and he's probably gonna uncork that thing whether it's there or not. There's also the reality that DJ might have been concussed. He took a hard hit on the sidelines earlier and spent several minutes in the tent and just never looked the same in that game after that. I put some blame all the way around on this one. DJ didn't run the greatest route and seemed to not be expecting the ball. Williams through a bad ball and tool an unwise risk at that point in the game. And Johnson set himself up to get show in his own foot by his gunslinger.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By hepcat · Posted

      Statistically, Bryce should NOT be a starting QB, and the consistency shows that. He shows up against favorable secondaries, and disappears against good ones. Hopefully now the team is focused on giving him better receivers and the receivers will win games on their own, ala Steve Smith type receivers, and he won’t be as big of a liability. That’s asking a lot for a #1 overall pick QB to need that of course. Whe we just had a QB before Bryce that took teams to the playoffs with Brenton Bersin and Kaylin Clay as his top receivers
