I think they should trade out of #1 if possible to stay in top 5 and get a 2nd in 2024. Just need to add talent. Doesn't matter the position. No reaching. No projects. No workout warriors that didn't produce.

Oh I don't think either is great. But they would still be WR1 and WR2 on this team.

Well Tillman and Jeudy would be WR1 and WR2 on this team. So coming here wouldn't make his situation better.

Are we really calling for Jameis Winston now?! He should have had 3 or 4 interceptions last week. Like ball hitting DBs in both hands. Yall would turn on that dude in about 2 weeks.

Not for what he's gonna want as a starter. He's a backup at this stage in his career and should be paid as such. He's only good for a couple of games, not a full season.

Morgan hasn't been bad. He can't do it all in one season. Add a couple of legit pass rushers, get back Derrick Brown, and the defense will be much better. Unfortunately, we don't have a real pass rusher on the team right now. That and no Derrick Brown.

No way. This defense is the worst I've ever seen. This offense is one of the worst - probably top 5.

If the Ravens win the Super Bowl and the Panthers get the #1 pick, wouldn't that be swapping pick 160 for pick 161?

Agree. They've punted on the season and are passively tanking. This is actually the right move. The only logical thing to do is to see what you have in the young guys now - that includes Bryce Young, who seems to have better chemistry with Legette and Coker than Dalton did. Here we go. You guys have asked for this in the past. I didn't agree with this approach, but this team is so bad it's actually the right thing to do. Get Brooks in ASAP.

So is Brooks playing this week or what?

If QB truly is the best player available, then yes QB. If not, then go with the best player in the draft. The Panthers have to hit 100% on the first 3 rounds. 100% can't miss players that produced and have the tools to succeed at the next level. No more high risk, high reward picks. They rarely work out here.

Bryce is such a polarizing figure. I won't get into a discussion about his future any longer. Personally think he needs to show more, but he has to play to do that - just my opinion. As far as Tepper goes... inspect what you expect. I don't think he needs to just sit in the box and sign checks. He could/should have input. I don't think he should override his guys, but he should force them to think and consider every option.

I agree with all. And would add that these are primarily rookie mistakes and approaches. He's only a second year guy (3 games in) so not that far removed. Denver has a very good defense. It was a good showing against a tough D. This team is just not good. Bo Nix is no where as good as he looked against Carolina. He had as much time as he wanted to go through his progressions.

Why are we assuming these are negative, beat down meetings? Reich talked about getting chewed out last season. Perhaps Tepper has learned from that experience. Plus he can't really fire Canales anytime soon so he has to take a different approach. These meetings could just be a discussion on the plan and players, and status updates. He has a right to want to be informed. Doesn't necessarily mean he's forcing decisions and direction.

Well I don't think he played well, but he absolutely played better than the first 2 games. If he had played like this in his first 2 games this season, he probably wouldn't have been benched. Just more decisive and not afraid to throw the ball. The INTs weren't egregious to me. Miscommunication on one. The other is just lack of chemistry and a GREAT play by the DB. Made some decent throws and at least took a few shots downfield. Ramp up those downfield shots to 5+ a game and I'll feel better about his confidence.

That would not be smart. This team needs to keep as much young talent as they can. The holes are already too much to overcome in the short term.

A LOT of dead money comes off the books next season. There is a real opportunity to build this team now. Players will come, but yes the Panthers will have to overpay them. Need to get that DE (or two) in FA next season, draft BPA (non QB) and then draft a QB in 2026.

Yeah no reason to pay big money to Chuba. He's been great for carolina, but not a big contract running back.

You suck! But I have to admit that was pretty friggin funny.

The only reason he wouldn't get in as a 1st ballot is he didn't play long enough. He'll get in. Just maybe not as a 1st ballot. If they would have won the Superbowl in 2015, then it would be a lock.

Agreed! They need to take the calls away from him. You can tell he's overthinking now instead of just playing football like he did in preseason. See ball, tackle ball.

Wait... I thought the kids were with them! What the hell is going on around here?!

Taking deep shots on blitzes and man coverage. Trust the oline to protect and trust his WRs to make plays. Just give them a chance. Oh and put some air under those deep shots - GEEZ.

I think Frederick itself isn't great, but it's a good location to access everything else. An hour from Harper's Ferry, the Shenandoah, Baltimore, Towson, Tyson's Corner, DC. And you can always drive 20-30 minutes to Rockville or Bethesda. Of course I'm partial to Annapolis too, but that's a bit of a hike from Frederick. The biggest gut punch is traffic. 66 is better after the COVID construction, but 495 and 270 are still hell on earth.

Trade him or play him at this point. That's where the team is. There is no value added in playing Dalton at this point. You're just hoping that he finds that magic from week 3 again. It probably won't happen. Maybe he looks good 2 more times this season, but how does that help you? It doesn't. At all. Best case, you lose the #1 pick. If Bryce Young played any other position, he'd be playing under this situation. Why play a 37 years old sucky player, when you have a 23 years old sucky player that makes more money? There is no upside with the old guy. ZERO.
