Especially on the oline. You have to invest consistently. Teams almost need a couple extra spots to roster just because of the frequency of injuries now.

I've been saying it for years. The line starts in the middle. Kalil showed us that. Draft our center. Solidify the position for a decade. Move on.

I think one of the contributing factors was he was not playing against NFL caliber level players every position, every down, every week. Alabama had an advantage most weeks on the field. In the NFL that gap in talent is much smaller, and that makes judging the ability for college players to transition to the NFL so much harder.

Ill be dead before the Panthers reach 183 wins under Tepper.

You're not getting anything. Bench him and be done.

Like I said I'm no fan of Evero or his defense, but even if he ran the best defense in the NFL, 3 points is more than our offense can overcome outside of garbage time. He should have been fired last year. No matter who you have as DC is going to have the same problem. Giving up a single touchdown is more than your offense can overcome, and its hard to motivate yourself or your players when you're constantly put in that position.

Bryce is having dinner with the Teppers on Wednesday. 4 year/220m contract extension incoming.

I'm no Evero fan, but if your defense cant give up more than 3 points without seriously being at risk of losing the game, wtf are you supposed to do? Damn near every resource has been spent on offense and we cant put more than 6 points on the board when it isn't garbage time? If we had the 85 Bears defense we would still be losing because our offense is fuging pathetic.

SWW for next GM. 3 days with Willie and Snoop Dogg and I could still build a better roster than this.

Maybe theres a 5'6" qb coming out next year that can break all the molds...

Leave Bryce in the locker room.

Id be flying back to Charlotte under an alias.

Our defense hasn't played well at all, over the past year, but how do you even give a fug when this is your fugging offense.

Jameis Winston is like a trash can punch party. Its either gonna be one hell of a night, or a hangover that makes you want to swear off drinking forever. There is no middle ground.

Howell would be interesting. Still young enough if he managed to turn it around, we would have some options instead of hoping Bryce can turn it around in year 4 or trading up again to draft another QB when we're not sure who to target with the number 1.

You have to do something if Bryce continues down this path. You can’t delay development and waste careers because you’re hoping for a better draft pick. Always try to get better. If it was a game or 2 left, fine. But assuming 75% of the season remains when the call that it’s done for BY, you do something to improve the situation.

So good enough for the Saints.

The way they draft has played out makes me think Tepper, or at least his system, is still involved. Our drafting looks based more of an algorithm and some analytic model than watching actual football or even common sense. Now we've brought PFF into the building. More analytics. Where are the guys that just watch football. This guy can separate. This guy rises under pressure. This guy has a feel for the flow of the game. Bend. Hands. Footwork. Just fuging football. Its like we're watching fantasy football based drafting and team building except there isn't a waiver wire to pick up the hot replacement for one of your bust picks.

I had emergency gallbladder removal and was back at work on limited movement, hard physical job but it was 4 weeks before I felt comfortable really stressing the surgical area. No way I'd have thought of getting hit, punched, kneed, or torqued on a semi-fresh incision in 2 weeks. These guys are also carrying extra weight so its also what they had to cut through as well.

Emergency surgery to the gut reasulting in not being NFL impact ready in 2 weeks isn't something I'd really consider being pussy behavior.

You can also see it in how he didnt even try to build an offense for Bryce. Stroud was his QB and he was overruled. He lost interest immediately. He went through the motions until he was fired.

Not disagreeing about needing a strong IOL, just our method of doing it. The 2nd and 3rd rounds are the optimal place to find guards and centers, and we've spent picks on TMJ, Mingo, DJ Johnson, Tremble, Brooks, and even an overweight Deonte Brown instead of Trey Smith in the 6th. We just do things the hard and expensive way and its so damn frustrating.

I think the way they addressed the IOL was moronic. Many of us have been saying for years we needed to draft IOL and there have been plenty of high quality available for us to take, but instead we've taken fliers on guys with high RAS scores, raw potential, or athleticism that turned into the turd burgers that we all knew they would. We draft stupidly and we build stupidly. While we have spent more resources on offense than defense, we've wasted more on sheer ignorance than we've spent on either.
