Some of y’all are losing it. 
 

Lobbying against the best QB in the upcoming draft because he ‘might get injured.’ Now complaining when we received significant draft capital for a player who actually has been injured most of the last two years. 

The same people would be losing their poo if he were to get hurt at some point in the next 11 games and saying we should have traded him for whatever we could get.

I look forward to the day Fitterer is fired

Isn’t this what you wanted? All this should have seemed inevitable the day Matt Rhule was fired. And if I remember correctly, you were one of the engineers on the “Fire Matt Rhule” train. So embrace it, love it, and feel proud that you got what you wanted.

The truth is that good, and great players will not sit through two rebuilds as it diminishes their value, or capital potential for a new contract after the current one expires. 

It should be apparent to you, and everyone else, that this offense that the next coach will build will be open to any style that they prefer and may be completely different to what they have played over the past four years.

I assumed people would be ok with getting decent picks for an of injured running back. 

 

Think people wanted the first.   Value looked to be there given what we got. 

So it’s only natural that it stirs up our GM’s tendency to value quantity over quality with draft picks.

all the “mock drafts are more important than players” people will be happy but as we saw with fitterer’s original draft here-a pointless slew of mid round picks a good football team does not make

this was just fitterer chasing his own tail trying to rectify the mistakes he made

”we can’t have just four picks!”

lol you’re the one that gave them away. Take your medicine.

this honestly reminds me of the post lockout spending spree.

What would've been the point of us grinding down and already injury prone CMC into the dirt the remaining 11 games when we know we are going to keep losing and further hurting his trade value and while having him being the highest paid RB in the league. The free agent RB class this year is super deep, and you can sign someone for pennies on the dollar compared to what we would've been paying CMC and probably receive similar production. Then there's the draft which always has late round starting RB's come out every year. Despite how great of a player CMC is it's the modern NFL and RB's are a dime a dozen.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
