Ive said for months 2024 is the season, now with these holes and these moves that havent panned out, man I just dont know.   All of a sudden to me this is becoming a tear it to the studs rebuild.  We got a lot of guys due some big money and a bunch of holes all around

Nothing we can do but sit back and see how it unfolds.  Hopefully Young and the offense will look a lot better in the second half of the season and give us some optimism going into 24 with some cap space to spend.  I do think we have too many holes to pay Burns.  He will probably get flipped if we keep sucking and we will have a first plus some in return.  Not the Rams offer, but that's a sunk cost.

I'm fairly certain they stated we would start off slow, but see improvements towards the end of the year.   That was after the preseason.  Remember @CamWhoaaCam got mad and you were telling him that our staff is saying what you were saying all offseason?  As for the offseason quotes, I wouldn't put too much weight into any of that.  

I didn't get mad.lol

 

I already admitted he was right btw.

 

One thing about me if im wrong I will openly admit it. I even apologized to him personally.

Not like MAD mad, but I guess I should have used the word annoyed or frustrated at Reich for basically saying we aren't a playoff team before the season started.  I wasn't calling you out, just reminding him of a conversation where our coach said it was going to start off rough this year.

Yeah annoyed is a better word. I rarely get mad anymore at Panthers football. Tepper has shown me he's not capable of making the right hires. It is what it is.

 

While we are on the topic of me being wrong, I must admit Bryce Young also doesn't look that great so far. Hopefully he turns it around as the season goes.

Yup. If he's doing that well, let Bryce spend a season taking mental reps. Rodgers rode the bench for 3 years. Worked out pretty well for him, and the team.

Rodgers wasn't a #1 overall pick that was acquired through trading away a bunch of assets.

Trading up to 1 to take your guy and letting him sit for a year is asinine...unless he's a generational talent.... but then you wouldn't need to bench him for a year.  At that point you might as well just suck for another year and potentially take someone else at the top of the next draft.   

This screams of a GM realizing he needs to make some splashy moves because he no longer has a lame duck coach to pin the troubles on and he needs to show some results ASAP, and I guess he suckered Frank to go along with his plan? I mean unless we have officially become the Browns Frank would have surely gotten more than one year to show some progress on the rebuild without trading away everything to take Bryce, but I'm not so sure Fitz would have the same leeway at this point.

Hey guys, remember the part where I was called insane and dumb for speculating that this was a soft benching and the staff using the phantom injury to save face and if Bryce still ended up playing my theory fell apart?  What a crazy conspiracy, right?

OR maybe he rolled his damn ankle and we don't need him to play through an injury that can get worse because we aren't making a playoff run this year.  Sometimes the simplest answer is the right now.

Maybe…

HC can’t tell you the play…which is ok

But he also can’t tell you what type of injury. High ankle anything….which is okay.

But he also had Bryce up on his ankle yesterday despite labeling him a DNP.  And if you starting QB is hurt and you wanted to get him healthy to play that is odd….which is okay. 

And they had Bryce hoofing it all over BOA today,  fat dudes and punters even take carts to the field.  Bryce hoofing it.   Injured QB? Doesn’t seem like they are treating it as a big deal.  Or trying to get him off it. 

There was already an argument they were on a quick path to ruining his development after 2 weeks.  Pumping the breaks with no injury was already the path they were looking down.  The O to date hasn’t been enough to support developing a rookie QB.   If you are legitimately a Bryce fan and want him to develop….you should take issue with what this team has done around him.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
