It would be more funny to find out she is some football savant and was the driving factor behind the success.

Good Lord. He does. That's concerning.

Robinson was arguably our only effective DL after Wharton went down. It's gonna be a looooong season on that side of the ball

The Saints were fairly efficient versus Arizona in the run game. Instead they opted to throw the ball 46 times with their version of Bryce Young. We will see but I wouldn't get my hopes up because mobile QB's usually nuke our defense.

If he isn't benched by game 3, I think it's safe to say this is Tepper or a straight up tank.

Sounds like a Tepper era Panthers GM to me. I am not seeing a path TO beating Arizona, minus Kyler getting injured. He didn't get knocked out by the Hershey squirts last week and got them piloted to a W.

100% agree. It was great to see the turnaround but this season was supposed to be his ascent to being an above average starting NFL QB, not a mid level game manager. At this point those games looked more like Kyle Allen's "Baby GOAT" run than anything else. He has had enough chances. It's over.

I am beginning to think he is a RAS acolyte, as well. Future GM? Well, when you stink I guess it's a perpetual preseason.

He likes XL for some unknown reason. He will probably go in on Renfrow. I mean, not saying Bryce didn't make some good plays but the crippling ones loom large.

I couldn't believe the Bryce grade. Still don't.

Agreed. It's a large sample size system because it will even out the bunk grades, like these.

Yep. This is why having such a bad owner is pure cancer. It keeps us from improvement.

Also consider that the list of potential replacements at HC and GM are going to be very thin overall. Tepper is going to draw bottom of the barrel or completely unqualified candidates for the most part.

It's just Bryce in this situation. How the fug is Corbett not in the shitter? That grader was high as a kite.

Listen, I am as skeptical of PFF's grades as anyone but I need someone to tell me how this is a "good" game by Bryce. Who graded that? Elon Musk in a k-hole???

I would clean house by the trade deadline and start moving on. What I think will happen: 1. Evero fired before seasons end. 2. DC fired before the end of 2026 3. Morgan fired mid-season 2027. We rarely get the order of operations correct and Tepper has had longer leashes for GM's than HC's.

I am sorry but if you watch that game and look at our roster, this D is going to be very bad. We did not play a difficult offense yesterday.

PFF doesn't even have Week 1 grades up yet or I don't see them, anyway.

I think these are preseason game grades.

Literally this. Invest in some other options on the depth chart with reps. He clearly is not interested in performing.

I don't think we are there yet. I think it was just sloppy football overall in week one. It wasn't like there was a bunch of exceptional rushing performances. On the contrary, there were three RB's over 82 yards rushing in Week 1(minus tonight's game).

Make no mistake, the offense is potentially salvageable this season, the defense absolutely is not.

I 100% agree. I haven't prepped for an interview in years. I say what is on my mind and they see the body of work. You either like it or you don't. Two times in my 20+ year career I have finished second in an interview process to a "very polished" interview candidate. I have been lucky enough to run across both the hiring managers in my travels(and after career ascending) afterwards and ask how those hires went. I always end up laughing at them and saying, "Well know you know the value of an interview, don't you?" The trade up to get XL and the "fifth year option" will forever be seared into my mind as a singularly stupid Panthers FO blunder. You are so giddy about how great this pick is that you have to get that 5th year so you can save money on this future HOF WR, huh? Meanwhile, XL is making more squirrel skinning videos on TikTok in the locker room.
