If Bryce ends up still being bad with the offensive overhaul, this could end up being one of the worst teams in NFL history. Like old Bucks, Saints bad. On the other hand if we light it up on offense and Bryce ends up a baller well then the rebuild is half complete. Watching us lose 49-42 every weak would at least be a fun watch. I don't mind doing it this way. Know exactly what we have in Bryce. Either gonna be a quick rebuild or a total blow up. Let's hope for the best.

I'd say to break out the paper bags but it's not like there's any Panthers fans showing up at BOA anyway at this point.

We're probably gonna go from an awful team with decent defense and the worst offense in the NFL to an awful team with mediocre offense and the worst defense in the NFL.

I think Evero is good enough to take the parts he has and make something work and I think Morgan knows enough about defensive players to help give Evero solid parts to work with.

We won't have the worst D in the league. I'm not sure about a lot, but I feel good enough about Evero and the personnel options that will become available that we won't be at the bottom.

Of course I could be wrong about all that.

This team is a joke, they have no real direction. I have no confidence the new regime is any less beholden to Tepper’s “judgement” and I honestly don’t care anymore. The Panthers I loved watching as a kid are dead and all we’re left with is a billionaire weak man who’s too insecure to have his opinion questioned.

They just signed two really good OG on the first day of FA to protect their investment at QB. We were 2-15. We cannot be attached to defensive players. We have a vision, it's crystal clear we realized our offense was inept and it starts upfront.

I get the rebuild but this to me has a weird feel so far. It has a make Bryce win at all cost, and make it happen NOW, vibe. In the over 20 years I’ve followed the team, I’ve never once seen them this depleted on defense. I hope they don’t go literally 100% offense this year at the expense of the defense. BPA in draft, please. We need studs once again. 

Commenting because yes it fits a pattern of impatient, fixated, single mindedness on the shiny thing of the moment. It is always all out. And then the 'kill a mosquito with shotgun’ result of that process.

They have not been picking right at all, over and over. At the same time, you understand the need. It’s the heavy handed methods that they use just don’t feel that smart. I’m probably not saying that right. 

Anyone else see this pattern? It the same with the QBs for years. 

If it works great, of course, but they haven’t figured that part out yet. 

 

I came here not to say that, but to say this: Don’t count chickens. 

Mike Wahle

Michael Oher

Bad Kalil

The OL upgrades don’t always take. Oher was good for some of that deal but it was mirage not too far in. Wahle was coinsidered a disappointment we expected a lot more. He didn’t bust exactly but he is here in the examples department. Kalil. He had one good season in Balt(?) His brother vouched for him. 

Couple of highly drafted guys... Otah is who we don’t want Ickey to be.  Bruce Nelson was one of our highest drafted OL. Goofed on that one. 

I haven’t watched either of these new guys yet guess it’s about time to do that.

You also lose the valuable cap space that they were planning to use during the opening of FA.

With Burns contract still on the books as franchise tag, they can't sign the OL they did or whatever other moves they are looking at.

 

THIS is why it happened so quickly.

This is what I’m trying to get at. 

Yes, we are god awful on offense. Unwatchable. Completely. Unwatchable. 

This just feels like a more aggressive version of the same approach that continues to fail us. 

Instead of  building through the DRAFT, building quality depth and keeping core pieces, the way pretty much 100% of successful programs go… we do it the Panthers way. We spend big in FA with long contracts and assume our draft will land 5 starters, everyone works out and doesn’t check out mentally and everyone stays healthy. 

Year after year we end up with 0 depth, but use the same approach anyway. 

I pray that our talent evaluation has improved to the point where we can draft and shop at Target and land some quality depth that still cares about winning. 

Again, I don’t hate any of the additions  I actually love them, but I see a similar trend as what’s failed in the past.

We’re completely starting over 

Had Bryce not looked like the worst QB in all of football (CFL and NFL back-ups included) the Panthers wouldn’t be going in this direction 

They know he’s ass

The entire team was ass. It's not just Bryce.

Doing everything they can to make BRYCE win right now. 

Same thing I said a while back. We will be so resource heave on line and WRs, the rest of the team will suffer.

When the Bengals drafted Jamarr Chase, was that cause they knew Burrow was ass? When the Bills traded for Diggs, that was only because they knew Josh Allen was ass? I’m having a tough time understanding the logic here that investing in your QB = team knows he’s ass.

      Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
