And if we do, we don't sign 1 of the guards we did probably.

Unfortunately we prioritized building the oline for Bryce 

I doubt that was a dealbreaker. He's only making about $3.5 million more per year than Josey Jewell. We could have just paid him instead of Jewell and did some minor contract adjustments and easily have fit him in. I might buy what others have said in him wanting a fresh start elsewhere.

Was it cost or was it scheme because both of those fellas were straight up beasting for the Redskins yesterday

This is the same team that declined a 1st round pick AND MORE for Brian Burns, only to let him walk for peanuts (Also see Bradbury, Curtis Samuel and Deonte Jackson).

Are you actually suprised?

Whole lotta Panther fans taking notice of that 😄

Tepper may be a bad owner, although I think that is sometimes overblown, especially when it comes to his interfering in football decisions.  Fwiw, I think Teppers biggest problem is making bad hiring decisions.  Fitterer and Rhule were awful.  

But he isn't in the same universe as Dan Snyder.  

Also, the Commanders (almost typed Skins), lucked into Daniels.  They have crapped out so many times in the qb lottery so many times, that they were bound to get it right once (assuming Daniels isn't a 1 year wonder).

The real question with Chinn was why we didn't trade him last year before the deadline.

Evero wasn't playing him, there was a literal 0% chance he was going to re-sign here this year after not getting on the field the year before.  Even getting a 7th round pick in return for a player we wouldn't be able to re-sign and we weren't playing, would have made it worth it.

And that's coming from someone who was a big Chinn fan and upset that we weren't playing him, but once it was clear Evero didn't plan to use him, there was no point in not trading him as he had traded value.

I honestly don't buy the "fit" arguments. Good coaches find ways to use good players. Tailor your "system" to fit your players. Any semi-competent coach looks good if he has all the right pieces.

Luvu didn't want to be here in this scheme and Evero didn't know how to use Chinn in his scheme.  Evero doesn't adjust his scheme based on personnel at all.

Yep  what I heard too …

luvu was offered a comparable deal to Washington but luvu wanted to play under Quinn  

…And apparently no one in Carolina knew what to do with Chinn

I’d say they both made great choices to get the hell out of the poo show in charlotte 

they are one game away from a Super Bowl   

im not sure Evero is a good coach.    Opinions vary

Washingtons defense was average all year and they are only still playing because because the greatest rookie QB of all time fell in their lap

Our defense was never good and people are pissed we let players walk that were part of that defense that wasnt good lol

we put all our resources this offseason into fixing the offensive line and now outside of Moton our line looks set for the next 5 years. This year Im sure we will put that same effort into rebuilding the defense

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
