I hope you are right but Brees was slightly taller, heavier and had a bigger frame. By initial looks, Brees also had more zip in the ball too. I think the biggest issue most have is what the Panthers gave up to get Young. If he was a second round pick like Brees I do not think you would be seeing the same negative emotions. I also think if the Panthers stayed at 9 and picked Young most would not be as negative.

Serious answer: Historically the Panthers have tried to build a team through the draft. Since Tepper has been here, that has not worked very well. now that they are in this situation by giving away so much to draft Young, the only way to build this team is free agency. The good news is I do believe they have a decent amount of cap space to try and build a team since they will not have too many draft picks. Hopefully they can bring in another quarterback to compete with young and Dalton. More offensive lineman and some legit WR’s. It is not going to be easy, but it is possible. But Tepper and his wife need to stay out of the decisions.

Young throws for 3 TD’s.

I am not confident the Panthers will ever win with Tepper as the owner.

Unfortunately You cannot fire The Teppers . They influenced this pick.

LOL- short career

The boss wanted Young….

At least Clausen got us Cam. For sure this is worse

Bryce has thrown 3 TD’s today

I don’t know. Dalton looked pretty good when he started with this same offense. Stroud has a different game than Young. He has a stronger arm and is a better runner.

Agree..plus how many draft picks were traded for bad decisions

I think the Belichick tree was only good due to Brady.

I think it is more than this. Other than Brady, the line that played yesterday was the same that played last year. Last year this line was average to above average even to a point of them keeping Campen as one of the few coaches from the Rhule regime. I think it is scheme versus talent. I think the new scheme they’re running needs this year needs to change to more of a power running game similar to what they ran late last year and we’re very successful at it.

His parents are in the stadium watching him…they said it was their first time.

Foreman would have gotten a yard

That he was not given a new contract already could actually be good news in that the Panthers do not think he is worth Bosa money either…at least I hope that is why he did not get a new contact.

Correct. why would a team do this? Only stupid teams like the Panthers trade away their best offensive players. If CMC stays healthy he could be a HOF potential and DJ was the WR that finally “came the closest” to replacing 89….and the Panthers traded them both away. And now they lack offensive playmakers. Sad really.

100%….the run game will set up the passing game. I think the Panthers underestimated Foreman’s value….his style of running worked last year and meshed well with the Oline.

The Panthers come back after the bye get some players back like Horn and Corbett, and go 7-4 to end up 7-10 for the year. How about that for positivity?

This team is not talented enough to consistently win or maybe not win at all. The wrong players were signed or drafted and other key draft picks and key players were traded away. This has been going on since 2019. And now many key starters are injured. I am not sure any coach would be successful with this current roster as it is just not any good. It literally has been stripped of talent and limited with no depth. This is on the GM, front office, scouting etc more so than coaches.

The Panthers new strategy should be do the opposite of what they think is right. Since most every decision they have made has been wrong that would mean the opposite decision would have been right.

Understand but the reason why the Panthers continue to lose is because of his meddling. These coaches can’t win because he meddles and then screams at them because they are not winning. .

Guys like Tepper never think they are the problem.

Tepper is a meddling owner and has influenced the direction the Panthers are going since 2018. Look at the results. He hired some of the best football minds and still continues to insert his influence which tells me he does not get what the problem is. It is probably doubtful that Tepper demanded they choose Young, it is very probable that he influenced that they pick him. I think it is very probable that he “influenced” for the trade.

Why is he involved at all when he hired some the brightest minds in football? If he is involved, then he made his opinions known and that influences the decision. He is the boss! It was also reported that he forced Ron Rivera to go to a 3-4 defense in 2019. If he really wanted fields and did not influence the pick then that would be more reason for him to want to influence this one. Clearly, that route would’ve been better than going after Sam Darnold. I mean it’s been reported since day one he wants a franchise QB and has been involved.
