why was it his job to stop the carousel from spinning?  Irsay wanted Wentz gone and ballard wanted Ryan.  The fug was reich supposed to do?

Yeah… I know it was reported that he lobbied for Wentz but we also don’t know what the alternative would have been. So Reich may have wanted the guy he knew versus an unknown. 

Was it reported somewhere that Ballard wanted Ryan? Because it was beyond obvious Ryan was toast 

At the end of the day this hire makes sense for where this franchise is at. Ideally Reich finds himself a young innovative OC to team up with. Both the Panthers and Reich have been spinning their wheels in mud at the QB position the last several seasons. I truly believe that comes to an end this year and they do whatever they can to go get their guy

wentz didnt do badly in indy

 

Pretty sure Ballard was the gm that went and got ryan.  They thought their roster was in "win now" mode and they could squeeze 2 seasons out of him.

 

All in all this is a great hire to reset us to respectable.

What Reich was able to get out of Wentz was impressive. If you look at the seasons Wentz had the year prior and after 2021… it’s hard to imagine that dude ever throwing for 27 touchdowns with only 7 interceptions in 2021

He just really really poo the bed against the Jags.  And the owner lost his mind over it.  We may have finally gotten lucky and taken advantage of another team doing stupid things.  Feels good once its not us doing the dumb poo

He wasn't good weeks 10-17.  If he were good they'd have kept him.

Taylor is arguably the best RB in the NFL when healthy and I’m not the only one saying that. I left Quentin Nelson off the original list because you clearly don’t know ball, but the colts oline has been pretty publicly praised over Reichs tenure in Indy. 

Household names and solid players are two different things. They lacked talent at key positions. That is all that matters. QB, DEs, LBs. It does matter that Reich was able to win as many games as he did with this knowledge in place. Agree to disagree but I won't stoop to intelligence insults.

Almost anybody being considered would be an upgrade over what we started last season with.

The good news is that the Owner didn't go digging around for another set of inexperienced college-based folks, or give away the keys to the house just because somebody thinks they should have 100% control.

What would you say Tepper learned from his Baylor experiment?

Reich + Wilks would be a great combination if we could do it. It probably won't happen.  With either one at the helm, we at least have a Coach that has proven NFL experience.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
