This confirms what I was thinking.  I tried to ignore it, but he was not good--I blamed the reserve guards on each side of him. 

He led the NFL centers in the sacks allowed category.  Our guards were just as bad.  He lacks the ability to slide, I saw him late to pick up stunts and LBs.   I saw him getting bull rushed.  He is a good person and wanted to raise his family here-

He will be gone in the 20s I think.  Probably early 20s.

Powers-Johnson would be great at 33 but a lot of mocks are showing him gone in the 20's.  Zach Fazier from WV is shown in some mocks to still be there at #96 and that would be a really good pickup if the Panthers go WR at 33 which will probably happen.

Zach Frazier at the top of round 3 would be nice.  Plug and play at 60 something, you still get a starter at 33.

McConkey + Frazier would be nice.

I like SVP at UGA but Frazier works too. McConkey is great because he has a high floor.

I'm open to drafting a guard or center at 33. Interior OL is our biggest issue on the entire team.

As much as you want to draft a shiny, glittery WR, the teams that successfully build dynasties use the following rule (and this is not my opinion, I heard somebody say it who knew what they were talking about--forgot who):  Build from the inside out, front to back.   That formula says the OL--and the IOL are the starting points. 

You plug up that middle of the LOS and I promise you, Bryce gets better, the RBs get better, and the WRs get open.  Why? 

The facial pressure on a 5-10 QB takes him off his mark and the second that WRs are open before the DB adjusts closes.

you cannot win if your OL is giving up the A gaps.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
