The defense is decimated

It really is wild how many players we’re missing on that side of the ball.

One of the worst parts about it is our defensive line has been healthy all season, yet we are 31st against the run. Our run defense is just awful.

Gee whiz, didn't know that. That's pretty bad.

Yet people still suggesting we trade Burns.

 

This team is in a bad position. After we trade Burns we have a roster full of no names. Tough times to be a Panthers fan.

 

 

I feel like this is part of the reason you trade Burns. We are next to last stopping the run and he’s a huge part of that. If he’s not going to be a game wrecker in the pass rush ( and he isn’t on that level yet ) then it doesn’t make up for how poor he is against the run.

Trade Burns? Why? You have a GM who can’t evaluate the value of draft picks acquired. The same GM can’t evaluate talent talent. Wait until the next GM and let him make the decision. It will not be long.

While I didn't expect us to be elite defensively against the run, I didn't expect this. It also screwed me over in fantasy... used my week one waiver claim on Tyler Allgeier. Little did I know at the time, the Panthers just sucked immensely and made him look like a star.

You can trade Burns for picks, or WR help and a pick, fire Scott in the offseason and let the new GM make the pick.

    • Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.
    • It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter. 
    • The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
