Man that is a serious log jam at WR.

Those tires were flattened in Chicago then shredded in Pittsburg.

It's not fluffing. Having people in your FO that actually have gotten it done before is huge. And every year we all say they're gonna be in cap trouble and every year they pull out some miracle ass BS and they're not. I hate the Saints but if we could switch owners and FO right now I'd do it without hesitating. Tepper is that big of a handicap.

Are they spotting us 9?

We'll probably get more entertainment from this.

Gotta watch out for these too.

It all depends on what you pay and why he's brought here. On a 5M per 2 year contract to fill the Andy Dalton role, that would make sense because he's a backup with the potential to push to start over Young. Should you still look for a QB1? Absofreakinlutely. If he were brought in, neither he nor BY should just expect to be handed the reins to the offense. Could he end up being a reclamation project? Sure. But don't bring him in as one and for damn sure don't pay him like he's going to be one.

Most of us that didn't want Watson had reasons that had nothing to do with the football field.

No other team is in as bad a shape as we are because no other team has the Tyrannical Toddler as owner.

Not having competition wasn't a miss, it was intentional. The possibility of an UDFA or some late round pick outperforming our big brain QB wasn't as remotely impossible as it should be. This was Dave trying to save his image.

I've thought we could go after Hooker but I'm not sure they would trade him away. Having a QB with a. Couple of seasons on the bench learning is quite the useful thing to have. They would probably want a 2nd or 3rd based on what they spent. If we could get him for a 4th I'd jump on it and not even blink.

Give hime time. Give him time.

Sadly not much available in the FA pool. Backup level contract only to replace Dalton and I'm fine with it. None of that Carr NO contract poo. And yes, still look for better.

If you can get Jones on the cheap to replace Dalton, then that's fine. At the least he should be starter contention with BY while we look for long term QB, whoever that might be.

Could have not requested an all pro payday and let them spend some cash.

Start 0-3 against KC, Baltimore, and Detroit. All playoff bound teams. Bad start but it can be overcome for a good team. It's still possible to rattle off 10 or 1 1 wins and win the division or wild card. 1-11, even if you finish 5-0, you aren't going anywhere at 6-11. Players know it too and aren't going to put their bodies more at risk like they would if it was playoff contention when it doesn't matter unless it's a contract year. How many times have we said ****** players have quit on <insert> HC? It happens every damn year. It doesn't happen with 10 games left. With 1 or 2, it does happen. It has happened.

I've already explained this. You put the team in a worse position to win as HC or GM. Whether that's putting players on IR who could still play, calling vanilla game plans, or putting in younger guys for PT. Doing it at week 3 is damn near impossible, but if you're 1-11 with 5 games to go and look like ass anyway, yeah, you can mail it in and try to improve/keep your pick. Indy did it for Peyton Manning. Ron tried to do it to not go to the playoffs a 2nd time with a losing record. The Jets failed to do it for Trevor Lawrence. It can be done, just not in week 3.

It's a crazy day on the Huddle when you and I agree on stuff. We need a QB and a NFL superstar who turned himself into a household brand name giving career advice to his star players makes perfect sense. No parent on this board would congratulate their child if they got a GM job at a company that's had 6 GMs in the last 5 years and is losing contracts left and right. They'd tell them that's not a company you want to work for because it's bad for your career. No superstar NBA player asks to be traded to the Hornets because it's a bad long term decision. The Panthers franchise is not a good foundation for building your career and nothing in the entire franchise history says we know how to build around talent.

I lost 150 in 14 months doing ketovore. I never felt better. Would end up going 3-7 days at a time fasting for no reason other than I didn't feel the need to eat. I have a highly physical job and it was no problem, my energy level was through the roof and I was fully restored on 5 hours a night. My Dr thought I was nuts at first but my cholesterol dropped 100 points and my health improved dramatically. You really need to eat nose to tail to do carnivore/ketovore properly. Muscle meat alone won't get you enough nutrients. Back on it again after a long hiatus due to surgery complications. Only thing I really noticed is on workouts my twitch response wasn't as quick but my endurance was much longer.

To run the 3-4, you need a powerful NT that can eat the middle. We don't have that and haven't. If you don't have that type of NT you have no business trying to run 3-4.

What reason would any player want to be drafted to Carolina? This organization is the definition of shitshow run by the worst owner in major league sports. Other than money, and rookies have guaranteed rookie contracts based on where they're picked, why would anyone who is going to definitely going to be drafted, hope to come here? When you're talking about potentially making a quarter billion dollars, Carolina is a poor football decision.

I'm down for Fields as a backup/learn under QB for the right price. Obviously I prefer someone a bit more consistent at the position, but at least we don't have to worry about him breaking a hip running onto the field like Dalton

Because after nearly winning DROY, and he should have realistically, the coaching staff decided to move him out of the position he was dominating. Opposing offenses couldn't neutralize him, so our coaching staff did it for them.

We can't build the dline just like the oline. We don't have the cap space to toss out massive contracts to instantly improve. It's gonna have to be done through the draft and some good FA shopping. Fixing it will take 2 years at least, even if we draft well.

They can 100% influence gamesand it's perfectly legal. They are an entertainment industry no different than WWE. There's only so far they can go due to the players themselves, but refs can absolutely kill drives, make timely bad calls, etc. As long as they don't cost Vegas to lose too much, or make it to obvious no one will say a thing.
