Yeah a lot of that is our horrible safety play. Horn has been solid IMO. Mike Jackson was targeted most games I watched. 

He is, but he's also one of the leaders in pass breakups. 

I wouldn't mind a younger option we bring in during the draft but depending on what he wants he isn't a bad #2. It isn't his fault that our scheme never lets Horn move so he's always vs the other teams #1...

There’s too many other issues not to keep the few promising defensive players that we do have. Jackson and Horn both need to be rewarded this offseason with contracts. We need major help (in order) at edge, interior DL, linebacker, and safety. Morgan needs to sign 3-4 high impact defensive free agents and go heavy defense in the draft, while also looking for more help at receiver and center. That’s where my focus would be.

It's nothing short of horrifying that it was written as if it's a foregone conclusion that all of the coaching staff decisions are Tepper's alone. If he keeps doing this we're going to keep losing.

Let Morgan be the GM. If he fails fire him and try again. Let Canales be the HC. If he fails fire him and try again. But stay the fug out of the football decisions behind that.

To paraphrase Dan Snyder 1.0, "Well what's the fun in that?"

I predict we hire Robert Saleh for DC and make him one of the higher paid coordinators in the league. Him and Canales have history together.

"Hi Robert, meet your defensive roster. What do you mean you've changed your mind?"

That's concerning.

What's also concerning is they're talking about Young like he's the nailed on starter next year. That's terrifying.

I mean, that's just where we are right now. With Bryce's improved play, what will be a better option for us? The only guy potentially available that I'd want is Cam Ward and he's highly unlikely to be there when we're on the board. If he was, is draft him and put Bryce on the auction block but it's highly unlikely.

Most likely, it's Bryce. Hopefully with a legit marginal starter/good backup type behind him to push him. I'd make him earn it in camp next year though. We got the best out of Bryce when we stopped coddling him and benched him and made him earn it.

A young(er) vet and/or a mid round pick depending on who drops.  One thing is for certain is the qb room has to be upgraded from Dalton.    I think at the end of the day Drew Lock will enter the equation.  Just makes too much sense.  Big mobile qb with a rocket arm that kindof fits the mold of geno smith.

His improved play simply isn't good enough. We're wasting another season running him out there as the starter.

I think we're probably wasting another season either way. I'm just not big on this QB draft class outside of Ward. We're probably looking at rolling with Bryce and hopefully a quality veteran backup. I don't see anyway around it other than selling the farm to try to trade up again. No thanks on that.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
