Well, it's kind of like dog years, but we'll call them Bryce years. 1 game = 1 season worth of emotional pain.

We have Offensive players that need development. I don't give 2 shits about Bryce or the first pick. The pick doesn't matter if we take a QB and once again don't know the quality of the receivers we expect him to throw to. Try to win every week. We're not going to win many, if any, but we owe it to the future of the team to allow as many players to progress as we can.

It was a failure, not a mistake. A mistake, everything looks right and adds up but for one reason or another, it just doesn't work out. Nothing about Bryce looked right except for the results from a brand new, albeit questionable, test results (as far as NFL grading), that was supposed to announce the coming of the next GOAT. But instead there were inadequacies across every aspect of his game. This was failure in such spectacular glory that the person(s) responsible should be banned from football operations forever.

It's the only way to watch Tepper football.

Bet large against the Panthers. Claim your winnings.

What life as a Panthers fan looks like under Teppers leadership.

Just because you want something doesn't mean you actually know how to get it. You say he's just the money guy but by his own admission he's been heavily involved in decision making. He's a hedge fund manager, not a 30 NFL Exec. Darnold and Baker are doing better because they have coaches who are maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses while helping them grow and mature as men and football players. The Panthers hired a coach more concerned with implementing OOU than winning. He hired a GM in Fitts that made me as a huddle GM look like an NFL mastermind. Then he hired an "outside" firm to find the most qualified GM and it happens to be Fitts cohort in failure. Injuries happen to every team, but having depth from well scouted drafts is key to success. Every decision this team has made has been not only wrong, but called by this MB with more frequent success than the professionals.

I expected Young to be benched by week 6. Happily surprised it happened after week 2.

Betting against the Panthers is good money this year.

We can't even draft players that are on the team after 2 years.

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.
