This offensive line is worse than garbage.

Sounds good but the reality is they will have two picks in the top 5 and can have their pick of the top rushers in next year's draft. There's no need for them to make a trade like that.

I don't really have a problem with trading for guys if the deal is right. We used a second rounder on TMJ and he hasn't ever got over 500 yards so it doesn't really make sense to me to be against giving up a 3rd or 4th rounder for someone like Jeudy who has had 900 yards (give or take) a couple of times. That's not to say I want Jeudy because there's clearly some issues there and his salary is probably more than you'd want to pay, but generally speaking trading for that sort of standard of player wouldn't be an issue for me. What are the chances of getting a 900 yards receiver with a 3rd round pick in the draft?

Makes the next few weeks interesting at least. If the offense gets better and we manage to win 5 or 6 games between now and week 17 some big decisions will need to be made at the end of the season. Brown likely gets interest for HC vacancies in that scenario and they'll need to decide if they're going to part ways with Rice in order to keep Brown.

He was fine today. Had some good throws into tight windows, had some bad throws and managed to not turn the ball over. I like to look at the whole situation in the context of him playing on a team with one good WR and a banged up offensive line. Far from an ideal situation for a rookie QB.

Cut Marshall. Terrible.

You're 0-5, 21-14 down and you've got 3 timeouts and 4th and 1 near the red zone with 30 seconds of the half left. You should never in any circumstance be settling for a FG there.

They looked better against Seattle because Reich altered the playbook per Dalton's request. Reich confirmed that in one of his press conferences. It seems a bit harsh to criticise Young for our limited playcalling in games he has started if it's by design.

Why on earth should they do that? The season is a write-off. We need to use the remaining games to give Young as many reps as possible. The whole sitting him to shadow a vet ship sailed long ago.

Ordinarily I'd say it's too early for a coach only 5 games into his tenure to get the boot, but considering he was hired as an offensive guru and considering how turgid and ill-disciplined this offense is, Reich doesn't really have a leg to stand on. He should be gone.

Looking back on it, the comments from Tepper about not needing elite receiver's are outrageous. The way he throws the ball, the way he’s a point guard, how you can use the different players on the field, how you might not have to have as many elite receivers because he’s the point guard, right? So he distributes the ball to people with routes. So we can save some money there, we can save money in other places and put that money on the defensive side of the ball. Young never stood a chance with these guys thinking you can give him some JAG receivers and put points on the board.

The only way I could see this happening is by getting draft capital for Burns, but trading Burns would signal rebuild and trading for a WR1 signals the opposite. So yeah, dumb decisions all around if it happens.

The version of Lafell Cam was throwing to in his rookie year would be the best receiver on this team. It's probably a toss of a coin deciding who's the better TE option with Shockey and Hurst. The offensive line that year was ranked 9th overall by PFF. You can't even compare what the two are working with.

Has to be traded at this point. He's not worth the money he'll demand and the team needs as many picks as possible. If they could get a 1st and a mid rounder for him they should do it without a second thought.

Let's not forget the first half. TMJ makes a catch on the Vikings 41, 28 seconds on the clock with two timeouts and he lets the clock run down and we get the play off with 12 seconds remaining. We come away with 3 points but there was an opportunity to be in a position to have a shot or two at the end zone. It's just really bad the whole game.

The TD to Chark last week was the one big play the offense has had in 4 games and that was credited to Thomas and Parks Frazier. Reich basically said Dalton asked to air it out a bit more against Seattle as well, so the way I see it Reich is intentionally calling these ultra safe, short yard plays. He's terrible.

I'm not convinced by Young but I'm reluctant to call him a bust with the way the playcalling has been. The question is are these calls part of the game plan or are they catered around the QBs limitations? Every game Young has played in the announcers have constantly pointed out that they need to open up the field and go long and it never happens. Is that on Reich or on Young?

Reich is trash. Awful game management.

This playcalling.....Definitely the sort of stuff to keep the stadium empty for the rest of the year.

Becoming a bit of a chore to watch us throw screens and 5 yard passes all game. Reich's playcalling leaves a lot to be desired.

That's bullshit.

He's playing like a rookie on a bad offense with a coach that won't let him throw further than 15yds.

I'd rather point out the obvious than wildly speculate that someone wishing death on the internet is a Panther's player, with coincidence being the main proof for accusation.

I mean that could quite literally be anyone who follows the Panthers and has access to the internet.
