Did I mention I didn't like the Mingo pick? I didn't like the Young pick for that matter either.

Yeah we know. Why weren't you interviewed for GM then since you have all the answers and are the real expert here? Pat yourself on the back for your feedback after the games over a few more times please.

The sad part is I am not an expert, but could have a assembled a better roster than the so-called experts.

I don't remember seeing a single person saying he transformed because Smith helped him in the off-season. I remember many saying there is nothing wrong with Smith helping him and it could only be a benefit so why not.

My comment is obviously somewhat tongue in cheek, but some commentary around it and this article was... entertaining.

"The second-year wideout has looked much sharper working with the ones in training camp and shows moments resembling savvy. Wednesday, it was making a play during a scramble drill, the kind of play that requires instincts and instruction. It's perhaps a play he doesn't make a year ago, and coach Dave Canales visibly brightened when asked about it."

It looked like a Jimmy Clausen game. 

Given the investment we had to make in Bryce, I think he has easily surpassed Clausen as the biggest QB disaster in franchise history.

In the grand scheme of things, Clausen was really just a bust of a 2nd round pick (par for the course for the Panthers) and had a terrible season but that terrible season got us the #1 overall pick and and an MVP QB in Cam Newton so honestly even though he was individually atrocious he played his part in the overall arc of the franchise. Now we need Bryce to play us into position to hopefully get us our next franchise QB.

How many starters do we have who would start for most other teams? How many backups do we have who would make most other rosters?

This team is trash and it's because the organization Tepper has "built" is trash.

Not having a single decent player isn’t all on owner and GM though. Yes like 90% it is. But none of our players look like they give a poo. That’s not on coaching or GM, that’s on lazy shitty players.

In Clausen’s defense, his head coach forced him to play out of spite to JR. And Hurney for picking him. 

Clausen was not ready and Fox really just fuged him over. He just wasn’t ready. He may have never been ready but he was thrown to the wolves. 
Young is so much of a different thing, he has been coddled and favored and propped and they have done everything they could to help him.

Poor kid. I mean he’s going to make generational money being the #1 pick so invest well and he’ll be fine, but man it’s over for him. He won’t get a backup job either. I see SEC broadcast in his future.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
