If we bring Fitt/Frank back next season I'm officially no longer a Panthers fan.

 

ESPN was literally laughing at our situation with Bryce. They said he has nothing around him and they literally feel sorry for the kid.

 

We had a good thing going with Wilks and Darnold and Tepper did a 360 and went with Frank and Young. In the process he traded away our best offensive weapon and future picks.

 

Now we have a QB who don't belongs and a ton of holes to fill on both sides of the ball.

 

 

Fug you Tepper!

I thought at the time that not hiring Wilks full time was the correct decision because I felt we needed an offensive-minded head coach to develop whatever QB we would be drafting.

That said, Frank Reich was nowhere on my list of preferred candidates. He may come from an offensive background, but he coaches like Jeff Fisher or John Fox. I wanted Shane Steichen, Brian Johnson, or Kellen Moore. I would also have preferred a young defensive coach like DeMeco Ryans or Ejiro Evero to Reich.

It was so obvious at the time that Reich was not the answer. I thought bringing in a good staff might make up for Reich's problems on some level, and certainly Evero has been a good hire on defense, but nothing about what we've done on offense has worked. It's been the complete opposite of what hiring an offensive-minded head coach should be.

I’m standing on what I was told back in the spring and what I shared here. 
 

Reich wanted Carr, the front office was not interested but met with him out of respect for their new HC.
 

Frank wanted Stroud or Richardson; Fitterer and his team wanted Bryce Young. 
 

The impression I have been given is Bryce Young was a Scott Fitterer pick.
 

Scott convinced David Tepper that he was the right guy. Frank being new and timid probably didn’t push back on it and caved.

I have zero doubt Fitt wanted Young.  His press conference speeches all hinted towards it plus the whole Russ Wilson in Seattle thing.  I think Frank liked most of the top 3 and Young advertised as the most "pro ready" probably made it easy for him to go with Young.  I don't believe Frank is good at developing QBs as he never really has.  This is probably why he wanted Carr originally.

I would add, I always felt Tepper’s voiced reasoning for why Bryce was their pick…..felt like GM soundbites. 

the whole we can build a cheap offense and put it all in the defense narrative.

Really surprised at 1-9 that a position coach is not at least being fired 

Especially when you take into account that the performances in every game have been bad/very bad. There's not one thing where you can say it's worth letting it play out because we've seen glimpes of potential.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
