Still have my doubts on that story 

Me too.  He definitely was non confrontational--go along to get along type.  He knew where the other members of the brass stood even if they 'supposedly' didn't tell one another. Heck, we all did.

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?

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
