How did they mess up so bad with Mayfield and Darnold,

We had two answers right in our pocket and fugged it up. Both are playing up to their draft status after being dogs here. Obviously, it had to be personal on the field, coaching, or scheme. Could also be all of the above. 

 Both guys are much more talented than Young. Just have to watch them play to see the glaring difference. Having to give up the store to get QB #1 when they had the answer already here.

I would take either one over what we have, hands down. Why do you think was the reason they have both done a 180 since leaving?

Sam Darnold and Baker are basically the same dudes they have always been....only changes have been what has existed around them.  In Carolina, they had bad coaching and bad talent.  So you get bad side of that equation. 

If Sam Darnold was in Carolina and 70% of the targets went to Justin Jefferson, a RB or a TE......he would have sucked less here.   We didn't have the means to allow that.

What have the Panthers actually done right under David Tepper? It's an incredibly short list.

Panther Ring of Honor. 

end of list.  His one bright spot is celebrating the accomplishments under the prior owner.

It's an organizational failure. We see the product on the field and if it stinks we think it's the players fault. What we don't see is the politics behind the scenes. Imagine you work for a sh*tty company, but the public focuses on your personal work and because you don't perform due to lack of resources and guidance, you're judged as a lazy and poor worker.

A stout offensive line, much better coaching and each has an All Pro Wr as their number one guy. We had none of those 3 during each QBs tenure.

Those 3 things are the difference in achieving success vs looking like Bryce on the regular. 

Each guy has a franchise WR as their go to option big difference in comparison to what we've trotted out this year a rookie as the go-to guy or a 35 yr old WR and in football age that's old!!!! Huge difference in weapons but while they were here we were run by Rhule who is the best snake oil salesman I've ever witnessed.

He was growing as a player under Wilks, Arguably the best coach he had played for to date. Tepper decided to light the dynamite on it all and here we are. No DJ, no 1st rounders for Burns, and a promising in some ways but still limited starting QB. 

The resources that could have been more wisely spent would have had us the favorite to win the South this year.

While we’re playing what ifs - there was a path to getting a solid team situated, it all stems from the timing of the sale, waiting to can Ron, and delaying the LT search. 

If you fire Rivera a season sooner, you hire in the Kevin O’Connell circuit. Blowing up right when Tepper got here, we could’ve been positioned for Herbert/Burrow/Herbert.

Then the next season, positioned to get Slater or Darrisaw in instead of that damn Horn pick.

And then the following, wouldn’t have been forced to pick Icky and could’ve gone Garrett Wilson or Parsons. 

No need to mortgage future picks at any point. Keep DJ Moore and CMC in that scenario, and not suffer through one of the most forgettable seasons in our history with Teddy. 

Not firing Rivera sooner and delaying the LT search until it became a forced R1 pick set us back as much as missing on QBs.

I blame jeans day.

Okay that game of what if was fun. Back to the present lol.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
