I wouldnt have been so pissed if we didnt use 48 on clausen, I like Edwards and LaFell but we could have had alot better player with 48 but then again "it is what it is" I swear thats Fox's motto for the fans cuz the organization obviously doesnt give a poo how the fans precieve them

What the hell is wrong with this front office?

For years, the Panthers have needed someone to come in when Delhomme's done. It seems Moore can be that guy, and they seem to think so -- but then they take Clausen.

I know it's hard to argue with his value, and if he can turn out to be that franchise quarterback we've sought, then great. But Edwards? I wanted Edwards, but I wanted him much later.

Our offense is not creative enough to use Edwards in the way he deserves.

Matt Moore only has a one year contract... Since that is the case he's gone after this year,with Edwards to be the backup next year to Claussen, if he's ready.

Claussen will have to play himself out of the starter role this season.

Edwards wasn't drafted to be the backup QB to anyone. He was drafted b/c he makes plays w/ his feet. They will see if he can return and work into a slot WR.

unless he provides 89 like results I cant see how that's worth a 2nd round pick?

well, what 2nd round pick is going to provide 89 like results? Edwards if Carolina can figure out a way to get the ball in his hands.....is just about as good of a playmaker as there is in this years draft though. I don't like the pick, but I like it more than Clausen.

That may be plan (a) but if he has trouble adapting to a WR/KR role look for the Panthers turn to plan (B) and try him as a backup QB.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By frankw · Posted

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
