Not suggesting we hand the QB 1 job to him. I am saying competition is good. The Panthers need a new QB room. The QB free agents are limited. They need to bring in several guys to compete. Whoever doesn't 'cut it' is sent packing during final cuts after training camp. No way should they go into next season with just Bryce Young. Not having QB competition this year was a huge miss especially after the results BY had last year. He should have been pushed to win the job.

I see no reason why having Jones come in to compete to be QB 1 on the Panthers next year is a bad thing. Competition is good....I say bring in as many 'guns' as possible and may the best QB win the starting job. Lack of QB competition since Cam has been a big miss for the Panthers. They brought Teddy with no competition. They brought in Sam with no competition. They drafted Bryce with no competition. Maybe if these QB's earned it instead being 'given it' the Panthers QB situation would be in a better place right now.

I am glad to see Barno might be ready. Perhaps as a rotational guy on passing downs....he might be able to bring some needed pressure.

Watch the Giants fire Daboll, draft S Sanders and make his dad (Primetime) the HC.

Imagine if they had an 'average vs. below average' QB throwing to them each week. Each of these numbers would be even higher.

Yeah he might have been hurt 2004 but what a great player in his early Panthers years. He was a “dawg”. Another parting gift from Seifart.

2002-2004: Peppers, Rucker, Buckner, Jenkins….

Getting back Derrick Brown will be a big help……Brown plus Robinson is not a bad combination. Just need some Edge’s next. Would be great of Wonnum could be part of the solution. I actually think the secondary is in pretty good shape.

How would Charlotte ever have concerts again if they had a grass field stadium? Good thing Tepper figured this out for us simple minded southerners.

How long will Tepper really keep away is the question….and has he really gotten away.

And to add to this....the Panthers cap situation was left in a horrible situation too. Not only did Fittererer pick the wrong FAs, draft the wrong guys, and made the wrong trades......but he someone left the Panthers cash strapped too and at the same time of having the worst record in the NFL. Truly the worst Panthers GM in the past 30-years, and it is not even close. I still wonder how much of this is due to the Tepper influence. Could a GM really be this bad on his own?

Too early to tell if Morgan and Canales will be successful and bring NFL football back to the Carolinas or not. I think things will be more clear 1 year from now though. By November 2025, they will have had 2 off-seasons, made a decision on the starting QB, improved/or not improved the defense, and improved/or not improved the play makers on offense. If the Panthers still look like bottom dwellers than we all know that Morgan/Canales will be recycled for another duo of test dummies to work under our new beloved owner. There are many glaring needs with this team due to the past 6 years of terrible decisions. Nobody could fix this mess in 1 off-season, and realistically not in 2 off-seasons, but we should at least see some progress.

Yeah - makes us wonder why he was fired....not really. We already know why he was fired.

Trade back sounds good but will there be any team willing to trade up…..that is the key question.

And hearing Nicole provide her feedback on who she liked.

Not a good look for AR, however, at least for the Colts he was not nearly as 'costly' as Bryce was for the Panthers. AR only cost them 1 high draft pick. I try to forget how my draft picks the Panthers spent on Bryce....and we are still paying with a very high 2nd round pick in 2025.

I don't know if Canales is 'it' of not, but I am not confident Tepper would find anyone else that is better. I think most of the 'good ones' would run far away from anything to do with the Panthers. Tepper has a terrible reputation.

But at least now we have concerts...LOL

I mid-round pick that the Panthers will chose a player that will never contribute to the team. Trading away good players for draft picks only work if you know how to draft....which the Panthers do not. However, the Panthers probably have no choice if DJ no longer wants to be here. Who can blame him.

The wrong people were making the decision and those same people made the decision for the wrong reasons. An owner and wife should not be that involved and have that much influence in making this big of a decision. Sure, they can provide the final 'sign off'......but that is not what happened by all accounts.

Tepper meeting the HC each Monday is a symptom of the problem of him being overall involved in football decisions. He is the reason why the Panthers are the worst team in the NFL and have been terrible ever since he bought the team. The Weekly Meetings are a 'clue' as to what is really going on inside the building.

Payton did the Panthers fans a favor by saying this out loud. Tepper needs to be embarrassed each week.

I want Payton to embarrass Tepper

If I were Tepper I would remove myself from all football decisions going forward.

This is worse than a preseason game
