I mean, we're 5-12. We still have a lot of problems to solve.

But yeah, I think Reich either took this job as a retirement check or he mailed it in when we drafted Bryce. Either way, not a good look on his part.

I'm not sure he mailed it in, but it definitely took the wind out of his sails.  Looking back, I could tell a difference in pre-draft Frank and post-draft Frank.

Some of the most UNINSPIRING football in Panthers history was last year under Frank Reich

this is the first offseason in a long time I can actually be OPTIMISTIC about the direction of the team. 
 

where CJ Stroud had the sophomore slump, Young has the sophomore jump and I think much of this can be attributed to Dave Canales

 

this is the first offseason in a long time I know who’s going to be our coach and QB next season

I think the biggest issue was not letting Bryce sit. They’ve should have started Dalton and let him observe the game on the professional level.

Seemed that way to me too. Felt like he was in a different camp and didn't get his way so he just said fug it.

Yep, add in the realization that his new boss is just as bad if not worse than his old boss had to be deflating.

You ask if Frank was the problem as if we were good this year. We went 5 and 12.

Our receiving core consisted of Mingo, Chark, and Terrace Marshall last year and we had one of the worst offensive lines in football.

Adding Coker, Legette and Sanders and the additions to our OLine. I’m sure Reich could win a couple more games as well.

He should have been fired for wearing that hat alone.

Frank was A problem and his crappy attitude didn't help the team, but Tepper was and still is the problem. 

Frank may never coach in the NFL again due to how bad he was and some of his staff may be out soon too (Thomas Brown). It will be a case study from top to bottom how to not run an NFL team.

A large segment of that cast is still here.   

it’s why the real problem is just Tepper.  Over and over it shows.  Time and time again people sort of move away from it.  I think we are now on the 3rd variation of Tepper finally stepped back.  It’s never true.

Yep, that is true. Needed to clean house, Morgan is an extension of Fitterer (as evidenced with the shitty draft picks).

We were 2-15 last year and 5-10 this year, let's not act like we turned into a super bowl contender overnight.

Rookie QB improves a little in his second year (as expected) and we win a few more games.

Overall though we are 7-25, the roster is bad, who is responsible for that?

      HOF Leaks.

      Pretty sure Brady left due to the lack of weapons in New England. There were some saying he left because of general disagreements with BB and the way he ran the team. But I think he realized that he couldn't be successful with the team of receivers around him - other than Gronk. BB wanted to give short contracts to everyone not named Edelman.

      Yeah I'm not sure he'd come back even for HC. Also not sure I want him.
