Could Both Fitterer and Reich Be Safer Than We Think?

OK, I will start by this caveat...I am not a pro football expert in anyway except that I am a long time NFL fan and have been watching since the mid 1970's...that being said I have watched enough NFL to know the following...the Panther's really screwed the pooch since the end of last year...Starting with the following.

1. Steve Wilkes should have been given a chance to be the head coach.  dude took over a half assed team but did well at 6-6 considering it was mid season.  If he would have been surrounded by the same set of coaches we have now - minus Frank R. of course we would probably be better off.  The man should have been given a chance and probably at much less cost then ole Frank.

2.  WTF were we thinking trading away one the of best if not the best running back in the NFL...so what he costs money...so does everyone at that level.

3. WTF did we trade away all our picks and give up our best receiver (again one of the best in the league)

4. Yeah our QB room was not great but not as bad as it seemed.  Ok, replacing Darnold with Dalton would have been a good thing...but giving up both Mayfield and Coral and wasting all our draft capital to get to #1.

5.  Ok so we gave up everything for #1...we picked the wrong guy at QB...but even if we had Stroud how would he be doing since we got rid of two of the best offensive playmakers CM and DJM.

6.  Why in the hell can we never figure out that we should spend an entire draft on our O line or at least over a few years along with some good veteran trades.  Until we had a great O line our running game will continue to be trash and also passing game suffers as well, especially now that we have a guy that is too short to deal with a bad O line.

I am just baffled over how our off season went and what they were thinking giving up so much money to the super staff that hasnt shown us jack Sh!t so far.

Also, why does it seem like we are the only team that consistently gets hammered by injuries every damn year.  I mean I understand it is part of the NFL, but we seem to have the worst luck and never had enough decent backups to actually do the "next man up" thing when our next man up is 2nd or 3rd tier. 

Ok that is enough ranting but seriously, am I really that far off base on any of this?  What say you?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By frankw · Posted

      Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
