Look, I agree that these aren’t the weapons to serve BY throughout his Panthers career, but I think the signings show intent. This is a significantly better WR group than Cam ever had while he was here to be honest.

Signficantly better than anything Cam had? Cam's rookie receiving option were better than what we have now. 

89, Olsen, Shockey, Lafell, LEGATRON!!!!!, 2 pro bowl RBs? 

There is a reason 89 broke the rookie passing record.  He had basically an ideal group around him.

Okay sure. I guess I mean throughout most of Cams career. Smitty and Olsen were gone very quickly. And then the talent nosedived. Ted Ginn Jr, Lafell, KB (who was actually great before his mother passed in fairness) 

I’m forgetting so many names right now, but that’s my point really. Cams WRs for most of his career were remarkably forgettable.

I mean, Cam's weapons were just flat out better when he was young and developing.  Which for is the key for a young QB IMO.  You got to give him weapons early.  Especially his first 3 seasons as a pro Cam had a good cast.   

I'd rather give a young QB great weapons early and then adjust later.  Not start weak and slowly add.  Think they develop better when life is good early.

Again, I agree with you. I just think it’s unreasonable to assume we have no intention of continuing to add talent for BY down the road and I think our offense is being really underestimated by fans in this board. No, we don’t have a superstar offensive weapon for BY (we traded that guy to get him essentially) but he has real talent on this roster imo. A lot better than most #1 picks get. And there just isn’t value at #39 unless it’s Mayer, but he’s not exactly a lightening weapon. He’s just an all round solid old school style TE.

Yeah, not really.

People have been speculating that our next pick could be on defense for hours.

Literally their biggest signing in FA was 3 wrs a RB TE and 2 Olinemen.. It’s really not that hard to see defense might be a big focus in the draft after FA mostly used on offense..

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...

      There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
