I think people want Fitt gone too. This makes it look like Reich/staff is just the scapegoat.

I think people just want something to bitch about. 

All you hear today is “the dysfunction of the Panthers” due to the third head coach firing since Tepper bought the team.

Should Rivers’s firing be counted towards the dysfunction when everyone wanted Rivera fired even before he was?

Should the Rhule hiring be counted towards the dysfunction when he was one of the hot names on the coaching carousel that year? Should Rhule’s firing count when everyone wanted him fired the off-season before he was fired?

Does Reich’s firing now mean dysfunction when, again, people have been clamoring for it for weeks?

What’s the point of keeping Reich around if a firing is inevitable? Why not rip off the band-aid and start the recovery process?

This fan base, and especially this board, just want something to bitch about. The great thing for them is they get to bitch with hindsight.

Not going to hold any ill will toward Reich. Just didn't work out. What is most demoralizing is that I'm not sure there's any way out of this downward spiral in the near term because the root problem may be at the very top.

Rewatched a blip from the 1st round draft presser I caught something that should have been more obvious at the time.

Joe Person asked how Frank dealt with needing more convincing of Bryce because of his size preferences...Frank answered that "It wasn't that I needed convincing" and that it was about how he was "committed to the process"..but what he referenced, wasn't himself turning in favor on Bryce, rather, that the entire scouting department had a moment in the room where Scott asked them and they were all unanimous with Bryce. "And Bryce was their guy, and that was great for me to hear" He goes on to say general superlatives and that Scott told him to just take their time.  Eventually he said they watched tape and Bryce was "the best player", but man, reading between the lines, you can tell.  The coaches had to be convinced.  The scouting room didn't.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
