Are we low-key tanking? Donnelly thinks we're half-tanking.

Who is this clown 

A sports analyst at 99.9 the Fan, as is Chris Lea (also at WRAL), as is Dennis Cox, as is Adam Gold. 

The Triangle has sports talk radio too, just like Charlotte---and probably better than Charlotte from what I've listened to. The redneck shtick of Charlotte sports radio kinda sucks to be honest.

The only potential fix is a slow one. 

That is if they have people competent enough to do it. I'm not confident they do. I'm willing to bet this group will be fired in 2 years and we will see what Nicole comes up with for the next "rebuild ".

2025 is projected to be a down QB class. That may or may not end up holding true, but leave it to Tepper's Panthers to trade the farm for a bust the size of the local JV HS QB and then plan a tank year for a projected bad QB class. I mean, it all fits perfectly for the type of decision making we've seen in these six years.

I'm no more or less confident in them than anyone else they could have hired. Only time will tell.

While Simms is going on saying he thinks there are 5 starting QB's this year. If one of the 5 drops to 33 fuging take them and go BPA in 2025. Trade Bryce for a 5th

If they have, it's been by mistake. This would be the first time that we've done it purposely during Tepper's ownership. The fact that he would rubberstamp this or even embrace it would be akin to a paradigm shift in his bald head. 

Completely by accident. Fitterer and Hurney absolutely were trying to win now, but the results were as if we tanked only without the benefit of great and extra draft picks.

What we’ve gotten in 5 years is accidentally tanking our record while also giving away all the benefits of a planned tank.

It's wild that we don't have $70M in cap space with 12 draft picks including #1 overall. All we had to do was play Corral and not pay like 5 jags premium money

Let’s see. We Tried to win last year and went 2-15. It was an honest 2-15. 

There is no 1st round pick. 

Losing comes naturally. So it ain’t tanking. 

If we do decide to tank, we are gonna 100% have to keep Bryce healthy.

Corral is the only one of them affecting our cap now other than Young which isn't much. The issue isn't cap it's draft picks.

      I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

      The running back situation....

      By frankw · Posted

      It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.

      I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
