Bryce Young will be one of the best to do it. 

Wait a second, what.......?

Bryce seems like a really nice guy and I hope he does turn it all around but after what I saw last season, I am questioning whether he could even be backup in the NFL. I sure hope you are correct on this and maybe I'm just being too negative here because I sure do want to have hope but it's so hard after what I saw last season. It almost appeared that he just didn't have the confidence, the mentality or the leadership skills to be a QB and face of the franchise in the NFL.

The physical ability. That's what he lacked. He's the smallest QB in the NFL with one of the weakest arms and some of the worst footwork. The only one of those things he can significantly improve upon is his footwork. It's gonna be a real uphill battle for him to become a legit NFL starter. One of the best to ever do it? Just completely laughable. If he gets to Jared Goff level it would be a HUGE win.

I might get shelled for this, but Ekwonu was not developed and he has the skill set.  Brady C has the athletic ability.  If ever there was a time to say,  "The answer might be on the roster," it could be now.

Unknown commodities do not necessary mean an upgrade.  I say get a damn coach in here instead of that mole that used to make out with footballs.

Why isn’t anyone talking about Derrick Henry?  Damn that dude would immediately improve this offense and I’d give him a 4-5 yr deal.  Lotta gas in that tank.

That is maybe one of the most insane things I have seen here recently. Henry is a large, physical RB. Those are exacrly the type of dudes that classically fall off a cliff suddenly. He's 30 and you want to give him a 4 or 5 year deal??? What the actual fug?

Also, have you actually looked at this RB free agent class? Very possibly one of the best of all time. You can get a very solid RB and far younger for far cheaper.

Icky hit the inevitable sophomore slump this past season. I think, with new and good coaching, he will excel at the position. If BC can come back and work beside him, we should see some improvement from that as well. Corbett coming back should shore up the other side of the line and I think we are fine at center and RT.

Good coaching and better play design will help a lot.

And I think we're deeper now than we were before along the line. 

We need receivers more than anything. And someone to design plays that doesn't send three receivers to the same spot on the field. Or guys who can stretch the defense. Or stand up to being jammed at the line. Or who will fight for a ball. 

Adam Theilin needs to be an asset to the offense, not the whole darned thing.

Yup, and here sits Carolina with $24MM tied up in Miles Sanders.

Unless you are going to grab a sure fire good LT, I think you're right.  Worse case we move Chistensen to LT and Icky to LG.  

OTAs will be interesting to see what Canales does with our offensive line.

The hindsight of that deal is unreal. The funny thing is we threaded the needle on an insane haul for CMC(won't see a RB trade like that in the next decade, I'll wager) then not only do we immediately squander the resources......we sign arguably the worst RB contract in the last 3-4 seasons.

It's a microcosm of the Panthers under Tepper, for sure. The mistakes of the past repeated with new mistakes added in.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
