Sanders got paid and checked out 

See I don't believe that. I think Sanders came here hungry and wanted to prove he was a feature back, but bro is just having a bad year. He can't seem to get going. Chuba falls forward for more yards than miles runs for. I feel bad for bro, but maybe what we are seeing here is what they saw coming in Philly and why they reduced his role and were ok letting him go.

He proved to be a flawed committee RB in Philly.  A really good team told us what he was.

Be honest we need a lot around Bryce.

 

Start by retooling this Oline. Start by moving Ickey to guard!

Sign Tee Higgins in FA.

 

Use our draft picks on Oline maybe we find a diamond in the rough.

 

We need help and it's not coming overnight.

If we are honest the retooling has to start in the front office.   Because essentially every “issue” was largely obvious going in while they were calling it a win now and plug a QB in O.

I don't have any trust in Tepper hiring the right people.

 

It has to be a coach who has full power so Tepper can just stick to being a owner and not a GM.

I see nothing wrong with the logic expressed in your post. We desperately need a playmaker at WR and help on the O-line. But, Why do you think Tee Higgins, or any top FA in their prime, would want to come play for the Panthers?

This franchise has lost a lot of prestige since Tepper took over the team. I can't  see a top tier FA viewing Carolina as a desirable landing spot. 5 straight losing seasons prior to 2023.  Never had back to back winning seasons in almost 30 years of existence. Terrible front office. Coaching staff(s) seem to struggle developing draft picks after round one.

Unless a guy grew up as a Panther fan, or no other team want to play them what they want, why would top FA want sign Carolina?

99% of the NFL plays for paychecks.  Professional athletes in general.   If you want Higgins or whoever.....you can almost get anyone if the dollar says so.

Money talks.

 

I understand why you would think that. I said we would have to overpay Tee Higgins for him to even consider us.

Your "hired mercenary" opinion is probably spot on for a lot of pro athletes. I would feel the same way if I were a low draft pick trying to cash in bigtime on my 2nd  contract. But, if I were already a millionaire (and Tee Higgins already is. He's made over $7mil prior to this season; and will have made $10 mil by the end of 2023 ), I'd want to go out and have fun week in and week out. I couldn't do that if I were playing for a mediocre/bottom tier franchise like Carolina. I'd 25% to 30% less to play for a solid competitor. Millionaires can always find ways to make even more money off of the playing field. But, we all have different ways of viewing things so I'm sure a lot of people on the forum would disagree with my point of view.

Not sure how you can give anything other than an F to Sanders, Hurst and Chark

Well, give Sanders and Hurst whatever you wish.  I conceded a D was generous. 

I had Chark at a grade higher because he is cheaper and has been more productive than Sanders and Hurst.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
