I think it's more that we couldn't find a partner at the right price.

But back on topic it was rather meaningless we saw were the season was going and without a #1 trading capital would have hurt.... Panthers need a new gm and to nail the draft this off season I want a WR and then all olinemen in the draft 

 

Sign Pittman Jr from indy.... sign Shultz pick a fa rb sign some depth

I could possibly propel us to the Cup.

Honestly I've done the same and every time I do they comeback....I haven't done it recently because evey time I did they come back to win I was pissed that game last year we scored 3 in the last 30 seconds to tie and then 8 seconds into ot won

This, this is what we call an "agenda" kids.

You can't look at targets vs receptions to determine drops.  For instance Theilen has 100 targets and 77 receptions - did he "drop" 23 balls?  No.  Theilen has 4 drops this year.

Chuba is a better player this year than last, who finds himself on a far worse team.

What agenda? I specifically didn’t say drops because the number of targets not caught was 3 and 4, negligible difference. Why is Chuba better this year? He took a big step forward from 2021 to 2022. He’s no different this year than last except that his ypc/ypr are down a lot. Again, how has Chuba improved and become better in 2023 over 2022?

Chubba is noticeably better. He’s bigger. Runs with more power/aggression. His hands have stood out to me too. 
 

However the stats of a back are so heavily influenced by the performance of the line, and that line has been NOTICEABLY worse.

 

I really hope it is a scheme mismatch. Otherwise, we are much more screwed if everyone just overachieved last season.

The amount of dramatic  conjuncture in this thread is worse than being forced to watch the real housewives with my wife because the panthers s*ck.

For real, people just making up poo. 

 

Deuce did a terrible job coaching up our RBs. There was no improvement. He couldn't train these guys to hit the few holes we did make. He got a lot of hype coming out of Hard Knocks for talking a lot.  Josh McCown was a reach at QB coach. He was a great back up and helped a lot of young QBs from that perspective but that is not the same thing as a coach at all. 

 

Look at that! Easy enough to explain that they were just bad at their jobs! ORRRRR we can believe that Josh McCown had a stack of love letters for CJ Stoud that made fun of Bryce Young. Tepper and Tabor found them in his desk and fired him.

That's not really a hard thing to imagine.

Hard to see personality being an issue with McCown though.

Which is what makes the idea that McCown was fired because “he wanted stroud” so ridiculous.

because what people are really saying with that assertion is not that McCown wanted stroud, but that he had become insolent or unproductive in regards to doing his job with Young because he “wanted Stroud” 

if that’s the case he should’ve been fired anyways, position coaches on every team in every draft get outvoted on who they want, they still have the responsibility of going out there and developing the players they did get

I suspect however the idea that McCown is tossing chairs and stabbing people in the back to save his own skin in regards to the selection however is probably a dumb theory

he was more likely fired because he never should’ve been hired

he was brought here because he was a high profile wunderkind that was exciting to bring aboard, not because of a long and tenured resume’ for QB development that you absolutely had to have in that coaches’ room when you’re spending as big as you are to get a QB

he may develop into a great coach but to put so much on someone with literally no coaching experience was always dumb 

it was not the right environment for him or the panthers

I see folks have taken to shitting on McCown now after fawning over his breakdown videos many months ago.

Maybe he was the wrong choice. Maybe we shouldn't have hired a QB coach with no previous experience doing so.

Or maybe the QB coach doesn't matter as much as ya'll think and you still need a player with the necessary traits to make the jump to the next level.

Below is CJ Stroud's QB coach.

Anyone going to tell me he has significantly more experience than McCown?

I don't think Stroud has anything to do with this.   He has performed exceptionally well.  Props to him and his team.   His situation in a Shanahan offense is worlds different.  It's exactly what Bryce needs too.  

McCown is a really smart football guy.  Maybe he is just a scapegoat taking the fall because QB has struggled.   Maybe it just boils down to Bryce not improving his fundamentals and getting worse as pressure has been ratcheted up.    Maybe Caldwell just wanted to be the only voice for Bryce the last 1.5 months.

McCown will succeed down the road, he is charismatic and smart.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
