I thought ballard was the best young GM mind, hes nearing gettlegut levels at this point. irsay can only get some of heat....

Hell, their Assistant GM is Ed Dodds.

There have been hints that Irsay is interfering in the process, but yeah sometimes guys just take a hard left turn.

Mind you, if we were to learn in seasons to come that most of their success was really because of Frank Reich, I'd be pretty cool with that 😄

Ed has been on all my top 3 GM lists before finesser. Just looking at the colts roster too, ballard has lost it.

Nobody has brought up RB Austin Ekeler and would he be a player we could use on the roster. The Chargers has given him authorization to test the waters. Only thing is his price tag.

He would require giving up a draft pick/picks and a pretty big contract.  I don't think that's in the Panthers budget this year.

panthers just rid of a more expensive ekeler. Many around the league are not wanting to pay RBs. I think the panthers finally got the memo, 20+ years too late...

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
