NFL: Pats relationship with Mac Jones "gone sideways"

As a guy who said we should have drafted Jones, and then this past spring said we should draft Zappe...

I think that we could do well with either of them. Both have incredible processing speed and good arms. 

Now that we have Rhule out of the way, we might be able to actually develop a QB, so if one of those guys does need to find a new home, I wouldn't feel bad about it.

My choice of the two would be to take Zappe and let him and Corral work for the starting gig, mostly because I think we could get Zappe for a better deal. Either, though, would be a boost here.

Dude may pan out, but Matt Khalil was better here than Icky has been. Let's be real.

Icky is a rookie.  On a painfully predictable and poorly coached O.  And has looked decent given he is a rookie LT in that scenario.  
 

He isn’t even on the radar of things to complain about

Panther nation is in a total tailspin..   Nothing will bring us out of it. We will crash in a jungle in CaroWinds. 

We can't even discuss the Panthers in the current NFL season,, we have to discuss them in future tense. The 2023 season.  

There will be enough survivors to be able to rebuild ( not like a Matt Rhule rebuild ) .  But it's not a stellar group . 

Very few of our current players would be ranked in the top 16 at their position .  Example. there are 16 WR in the league that someone would take before DJ Moore.  16 is the top half of the league. 

So for the next 10 months we are relegated to discuss a possible new head coach and staff..  who can we trade away to get some draft capitol,, what other teams are doing ( ie the Patriots in this 9 page topic ),, will they bring Keep Pounding back ,, the NFL draft and hope we don't win another game unless Detroit wins one and gawd forbid if we beat them and they would have the draft tie breaker of head to head ,, Sad state of affairs for us,  Panther Fans.

And your point is? I quoted a post that said he barely did better than Cam and it was in reference to the year after Cam with all the changes they made to their team. 

Because going from an offensive genius like Josh McDaniels to someone like Matt Patricia is a significant downgrade no matter who the quarterback is.

It's not an argumentative point, just a statement of fact.

Well yeah, it is a huge mess this year with Patricia as OC, although Zappe is doing his best Cooper Rush impersonation right now.

It’s like you haven’t been watching since the preseason. (Not that I blame you)

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
