If you chop off your feet then try to run a marathon you have no one to blame when you fall on your face.

I have no words for the stupidity of this franchise. If I drank a 5th of moonshine and never looked at a draft board I'm pretty sure I'd pick better than these GMs.

Rosters really need to be expanded to allow for the growing number of injuries every year.

Since Jake this team has had no real direction. It was speed and hands on the outside with Smitty and possession with Moose. Smash mouth running with JStew and speed with DW. Out defense was strong MLB and a viscous front 4. Since then, we've had Cam but never had a plan to build around him and now we have this bastard turd of a brainchild dreamed up by Tepper and Co. How can you expect any scout, coach, player to know what to do when there is no clear message from the top? I have no idea what this team is supposed to be. There has to be a blue print to build. Right now we have a sketch drawn with a ketchup squeeze bottle on a fast food tray liner.

I watched Smith play in Spokane for years. When he gets clicking his game is a beautiful thing to behold. From what I've watched, he has just a slight hesitation that wasn't there in juniors. I'm hoping he can stick and progress his game because he damn sure has the talent.

Shouldn't the game plan always be focused on scoring 30 points?

Tepper can't get any of the top guys anyway. Canales wasn't a top guy. He hasn't been a very coach friendly owner across 2 sports. Big paydays are how he's going to get his next HC.

They might as well just buy a nice rental house for the next HQ. Not sure how that will work out though not being able to fulfill that 1 year lease.

Should have traded Burns for 2 1sts and a 2nd.

At least hockey season only starts a month after the Panthers are knocked out of the playoffs. Go Canes.

No one will ever convince me that Morgan and Canales looked at Bryce's tape last year and said nyah, we don't need to bring in legit QB competition because Young is THE guy. We didn't pursue Fields because Tepper didn't want to admit he could be wrong.

I'm waiting to see rolls of cut up Panthers gear when the stores run out of TP again

Mingo is Eric Shelton as a WR.

The other owners probably won't let him. The Panthers are a team that they'll never have to worry about contending for anything other than the 1st pick as long as he's owner.

We had a QB that wouldn't tow the company line and the owners let Tepper buy the Panthers as some weird fuged up revenge.

Just because you don't want to lose doesn't mean you know how to win. Tepper has no idea what he's doing and it's showed. We've been a revolving door at QB trying to find lightning in a bottle. We've got guys making major decisions getting it wrong more times than a freaking fan message board. There's no real plan in building a team. We're throwing poo at the wall to see what sticks, but the only thing we're left with is gobs of poo everywhere.

It's not just Bryce. It's everything that Tepper sports touches turns to ass. The assistant guy to the GM that turned this team into a bigger laughing stock was the best GM hire available according to independent consulting? Translation. Only person willing to take the job. There's no fixing this team until Tepper is gone.

He should have been a 3rd day to UDFA based on the film and his measurables. The S2 hype and how he played evaluation game at the combine got him drafted 1st.

Sad part is we actually did end up hurting ourselves with all the restructuring of contracts so we could even make the offer. Then we spent all that money to still suck. It's like finding out the gas station is out of sushi so you buy one of those hot dogs that was put on the roller during spring break of 88'.

Can't really inside trade your way to a winning NFL season.

Bryce knew how to play the draft process. The combine and the draft are a game all their own and in that, he clearly played the game better than anyone else. The S2 being the sudden golden ticket for QB success after Purdy breaking through as Mr. Irrelevant? Come on. But BY had been practicing for years and it just so happens Stroud has his "terrible" score released. Bryce shows up to the combine clearly above playing weight and won't compete in drills against other QBs where the deficiencies in his arm strength would be glaringly obvious. His highlight of the combine was breaking down a play over dinner so Dave and Nicole could understand it. 15 minutes is plenty of time to break down a defense play scheme during the game. There's a reason he doesn't play inside the pocket and it's because he can't because his line of sight happens to be below the shoulder level of the 8 to 12 guys in front of him. He played the media, he played the Teppers and he played the fans to the tune of 30 million bucks.

Doesn't matter if Bryce is in or not. The answer is still not on the roster.

Depends on your definition of the real world.

My SIL did 2 tours there followed by 10 years for PTSD. Those responding are probably going to need help too during this. One of the reasons I wouldn't go to NYC after 9/11 was I knew I couldn't handle it mentally. For those of you on the ground there, be safe and much love to my NC family during all of this.

No they weren't. It was a 23' 2nd, 24' 1st, 25' 1st. That's QB value for a defensive player that wasn't even a top 10 edge overall player. You take that and run as fast as you can every damn time.
