who played their last game for the panthers today?

Yea, they probably could have actually. Dalton is an NFL caliber QB. Did you not notice the one game he played the passing offense seemed to work? 

Dude, no. Just no. It was against an awful defense plagued by injuries and one of the TDs was a busted coverage that even Chark didn't fumble. Bro put up 6 YPA, that's not a great working offense.

Remember the Packers game? That can make a difference.

You’re deluded as hell if you don’t think this team wouldn’t have won more games with Dalton starting all the games

I think we beat Falcons twice, Saints once, Bucs once, Texans, Vikings, Bears, and maybe the Colts with Dalton. Not that Dalton is good but it was one of the easiest schedules I can remember.

If you watch the OL carefully, we were running wide because our Guards SUCKED.  Pass protection broke down through A and B gap most of the time.  Chark is not a good route runner.   I keep Smith-Marsette, Mingo, Theilen (slot) and I let the rest walk.  TEs?  I make Tremble my #1, let the rest go.   Ricci was good as a receiving TE, so I may keep him as the #3 or #4 TE.  I might consider moving BC to LT and Ickey to LG--but I think I would let them compete for the job in camp.  I bring in a stud RG.  Moton's deal has to be reworked.  I would draft a top WR and I would sign good route runners who can catch the ball. 

Let's face it, they are not giving up on Bryce in 1 year.  Give him time and some open WRs and TEs, he is fine.  Vilma said something brilliant--they are predictable.  The run does not set up the pass (based on formation).  Bryce had no chance of being successful, and he wasn't successful, some of you with keen knowledge of the NFL QB position have been very kind enough to repeatedly point that out.  Let's see what happens--you might be right, but I have always said the QB should be the last thing you put in place.

When the QB cant play under center and cant throw down the field with accuracy...you're play calling will be predictable.

Adam Thielen (maybe)

TMJ

Ian Thomas

Gross-Matos

Xavier Woods

Burns

Haynes

Stephen Sullivan

Troy Hill (played well but he'll go elsewhere)

Chinn (maybe)

This is a good list.  Give Thielen another year.  Everyone else gets bus tickets.

    • Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎. 
    • Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time
    • A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
