some decent options out there......that have no interest in playing in the preseason. hopefully we can get one next week or so.

I hope you are right. I don't think it was the worse thing in the world to wait and see what the young guys at DT have, but the results have not been good by any stretch of the imagination.

I think it is ridiculous to say after 3 preseason games that McClain and Fua can't play, but they are obviously not ready to be starters at this point.

It's hard to spreculate exactly how much Ron Edwards would have helped, but it is beyond frustrating that the team has not fixed this problem over the past 3 years.

Even at DE, I think the team needs to be potentially add someone. I am comfortable starting Johnson and Hardy, but Norwood and Brown are basically the same guy (pass-rush only) and not equipped to be an every down type players. And unfortunately, neither one has shown enough so far as a pass rusher only. Charles Johnson is going to get double-teamed every down as bad as the rest of the line has been so far.

On the O-Line, there really isn't a good alternative on the right side if Schwartz and Otah can't go. It's hard to believe that one or both of them aren't going to miss significant time in the season. RG is a dumpster fire right now. Bernardeau and Duke Robinson are garbage.

I think another frustrating thing about this team is that we have some top end talent (CJ, Beason, TD, Otah, Gross, Kalil, Smitty), but then we have a major drop-off to some of the other guys.

I don't know if we overpaid so much for the guys we kept (I mean, at 2-14 you've got to give a guy incentive to sign), but depth is a big-time concern at every position outside of LB and TE.

Gettis getting hurt sucks- he could at least get open deep. LaFell, Naanee, and Armanti have not shown anything to make you believe they can be a legitimate #2.

I guess the longer I type, the more issues I realize this team has. I haven't ever mentioned QB b/c this is a learning year for Cam, but this team has a lot of issues.

Maybe not Detroit a few years ago issues, but certainly enough that 5-6 wins looks like the ceiling right now.

And I say this as a proud PSL owner who will be at every game

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Basbear · Posted

      gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
