Was Chark a mistake?

Who said he was the number 1 rw? This team has a different no.1 target on every play.

I’m not trying to sound snarky but I feel like this is always code for having crappy receivers. 

I don’t mean it as a criticism of the FO as you can only do so much in an offseason. But it does feel like Theilen will be Young’s favorite target so far.

If the argument is simply Chark cannot be relied upon to be a true WR1, ok, fine. He’s had an injury history. 

But, news flash, we traded away our WR1 this year. This is year 1 of a rebuild.

Also, the free agent market for WRs is always bare of young, good WR1s. 

Chark provides excellent upside with low cost. The only risk is that he might get hurt. Which is true if any player.

Hopkins wanted to go to a contender. That’s not the Panthers and hasn’t been for over a half decade and won’t for a couple years despite the casual fan homerism here thinking we are a SB candidate every year.

All part of the cost of Tepper running his clown show.

He also wanted to go to coaches he was familiar with. The Panthers really had nothing to offer. You can’t just buy vets who would rather win and the ones after solely money are usually washed.

Panthers did what they could considering what was available and what they had to give up to get their QB. WR is going to be a position to build along with dline. If they can’t get someone across from Burns, he will be wasted.

Yeah they should have signed Justin Jefferson /s

The team did what it could. They drafted the best WR on their board with their highest pick after #1, signed two former pro bowl WRs in FA, a pass catching TE, and have a 3rd year 2nd round WR they’re high on. I’m not sure what else people want. The only option I’ve seen people talk about is Hopkins, but we really have no idea whether the team looked into him or not and whether he would have considered us (though his public comments suggest not.) People act like free agents just have no say in where they will go and the Panthers get first dibs on every player they want. If you want to say signing Chark was a mistake then why don’t you fill me in on all the great alternatives.

Also worth mentioning it's not like we were competing with ourselves for Chark's services. I know the Lions had an offer on the table for him and wanted him back.

Young has made chemistry with all his receives,  with the exception to the one we just traded for.  

Allow time for this offense to actually show you what their identity is.

      I knew he was hedging for a raise.

      I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By TD alt · Posted

      For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
