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.

      Jalon Walker not looking like a bust? That can't be right.

      To be fair. Our GM is the assistent of the worst GM in NFL history.  We pay trillions of dollars on the Oline and cant pass protect or run.  We pay trllions of dollars on the D-dine and cant pass rush.  We cant draft. We are a bad team. With a bad owner and really bad management.

      Stud: WR Tetairoa McMillan In the midst of all the incompetence and mediocrity, there's one shining hope for the future of this franchise. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the team with six catches and 100 receiving yards. He also had an extremely impressive one-handed catch wiped out becaue he couldn't quite stay in-bounds. McMillan is a bit slower, but there are flashes of some Julio Jones in his game. His route running and YAC ability are both far better than they were advertised coming out of the draft.   Or, you know, exactly what anyone who watched enough of his tape would have known.   Honestly, our Arizona board could never understand this knock on him in the pre-draft process, because we all knew it wasn't true.  And sure, we're fans who watched all his games, but you'd think the experts who supposedly watch all the snaps of these type of prospects would have been seeing it too, it was glaringly obvious to us. Seriously, how many times did I say here that he could run every route needed?  How many times did I talk about his surprisingly good run after catch ability for someone his size?  How he wasn't a burner, but he was amazingly smooth for a 6'5" WR? As I've said, only 2 players from Arizona, both football and basketball, have I ever felt they were 1 million percent can't miss stars in the pros.  T-Mac and Gronkowski, that's it.  One is the greatest TE in NFL history, the other is about to take Smitty's mantle as the Panthers WR GOAT when all is said and done.
