Bobcats Front Office >> Carolina Panthers FO?

Which is easier to juggle. 5 balls or 45 balls?

For me I only like to juggle my two balls :smilielol5:

but seriously, there are many more diva personalities you have to deal with in the NBA and when you only have 5 guys on the court, it can be tougher to get the right personnel together to play effectively

But in the same vein, one wrong move out of that 5 could destroy a whole team/season, there's a lot more margin for error with 45-53 guys.

That being said. No doubt the Bobcats have had the SUPERIOR front office the last two seasons, thanks to the handling of Pep and Jake's contract. Those moves/non-moves alone are all the proof one needs.

I would rather manage 5 guys though. I have coached all big 3 sports and to me, hoops is much easier from a group perspective.

I have coached all 3 as well and would agree about basketball.

I do like that the Bobcats seem to be trying harder to get better. I can't get over the Panthers with their "we have 21 of 22 starters coming back" thing during last offseason and doing nothing in free agency.

What the Bobcats FO has done has been impressive no doubt about it, however... here are the 1st round picks our FO has grabbed in the last decade:

2002: Peppers

2003: Gross

2004: Gamble

2005: T. Davis

2006: DWill

2007: Beason

2008a: Stewart

2008b: Otah

Not to mention several later round picks that turned out being good players(Kalil, Sherod Martin, Barnidge, Charles Johnson) and got good players through trade such as Chris Harris for a 5th round pick, as well as Tank Tyler for a 5th round.

Panthers front office is getting a lot of undeserved hate when really they're responsible for making this team what it is today, a stacked team that has a legitimate shot at winning it all next year. While I admit it's been kind of a rough couple years, but that happens in sports. You can't expect to win it all every year. I love the way the Panthers are headed, and still have full confidence in the organization(this could all change if Fox makes Delhomme starter next year)

Give em a break. Try being a Rams, Lions, Bills, etc fan and THEN you can complain about a bad front office. Carolina has one of the better FO's.

Let me clairfy though. The BCats far and away or doing all it takes to put a winning product on the floor and that's all you can ask.

Football's bread is buttered in the draft and the offseason so if you don't hit it then, trades are so rare that your season could be done.

I would def put the BCats ahead of the Panthers in terms of front office.

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
