Draft screwed…. Season screwed…. Coaching screwed…. Future screwed

Actually it still is a good idea to draft a QB anyway (throw darts at a board, so to speak). 

I agree if there is one there they believe in.  I wasnt really saying not to take a qb, just that that seemed like the clear giant hole to make us competitive on the roster and some other holes may have shown up just as glaring if not more.

That’s the Carolina Panther way, forever mirrored in the 7-13 position draft board

Franchise QB hopes fade away

 a loaded draft board opportunity for a good but not elite DE we could have traded away will now hamper our cap as his agent knows he has us behind the 8 ball

 we’re not a hot prospect for a top flight coach


but I’m real glad for Hershel in Gastonia and WayneBobby in Shelby got to enjoy watching this team ‘fight’ for a playoff spot

 

this was our year to take then nose dive just like Jimmy C year was the year to take the nosedive except we totally botched it

 here’s to another 3-5 years with you guys as a semi mediocre franchise

Yeah, because no franchise QB has ever been drafted between picks 7-13

I disagree. Matt Rhule’s first year was the year to take a nose dive. We knew at that point that the other teams in the division were just a couple years away from being garbage. All 3 had old QBs they were trying to make one or two final runs with. We had a head coach who was new to the NFL and an OC who hadn’t OC’ed at any level. This was the year that we should have been winning the division with a young and hungry group, and maybe Trevor Lawrence had we tanked hard enough.

But no, Mr. 7 year plan thought he was the second coming of Chuck Noll. But I think I’ve finally figured it out. This whole time he was talking in dog years, which much better explains him blowing his load on retread QBs every year.

28 year old QB with NFL playoff success, a QB drafted in the 3rd round or later, and an undrafted QB that have turned a 2 to 3 star talent team around/taken them to the top at every opportunity (HS/JUCO/UNI/PRO) is the recipe for QB success. Ignore the combine and big school QBs without GWD.

If only we could sign aqueel glass, what a missed opportunity

    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
