It would make no sense for the Panthers to be signing some of these guys to 1-year contracts this year 

Nothing wrong with trying to win. The defense - and offense - do not look as inept as they originally did. One-year contracts are perfect for teams not wanting to cripple future cap situations.

The Panthers aren’t winning this year though. For one damn season they need to accept that and quit sacrificing future cap

one year deals absolutely effect future cap. For one, you roll over what you don’t use. Two, a lot of these one year deals now include void years (dead money). DJ Chark’s dumb contract counts for 3.1 million in dead money this year

Sounds like the Jets are pushing really strong to get him. Several reports saying this.

Yeah it’s probably where he ends up, but from what I’m reading it’s just the jets really want him, not the other way around. I remember a quote from one of the Grumpy Old Men movies: “you can wish in one and crap in the other and see which one gets filled up first”.

I'm glad the decision-makers don't share your thought process. Tampa was supposed to suck last year, too. I guess they should have just accepted that projection.

Well lucky for you the Panthers have shared your thought process for some time now and it’s exactly why were in this mess

Really smart

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
