I think that is fuging stupid. Some people go way to far I agree. But most fans are talking about bringing in a player with some game exp. and can help the rookies pick up the system. You can't tell me that their is no DT out there that can't hold up better then FUa can right now.

No I can't.

I also cannot tell you that we have not already contacted those people repeatedly and for whatever reason there has yet to be an announcement.

Fua is going to be a good player. He just played his first game.

When you have the future who happens to be still ramping up to speed in house, it makes it very hard to find a stopgap. nobody wants to be a stopgap. Old guys will cost too much or be useless or both and wannabes looking for a second chance will rarely take on the challenge and look for a softer seat.

These are just my opinions, call them stupid if you like. It just seems to me that there are plenty of people on here who need to manage their expectations a bit better.

We are not a team who is plugging holes on a championship run. We are trying to figure out who we have that can do what we want. If you are looking for the team to get better each week through acquisition, prepare for disappointment. :chillpill:

I hope you are right and i hope marty finds them soon. I am extremely happy with Cam but I have been screaming DT since Kemo went down in camp.

and maybe even some before that.

You all still don't get it?

Last time.

They are playing for experience this year, making a run at the playoffs next year. A veteran DT that no one else wants is pointless for us to pick up.

So was Ron Edwards meant to be a DT version of Anderson?

With Edwards going down we have a hole at DT that clearly they intended to be filled going into the regular season before his injury, so why not fill it since he's injured?

Everyone needs a break now and again though.... Poor guys only have one dude to rotate with.

Exactly, we need an experienced Vet on that line, until Edwards returns which is probably next season.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      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.
