As a non-member of the rivalry, I've noticed the exact opposite. My friends and I have along called the Tarheels the Dallas Cowboys of college basketball. It's maddening.

This team is way too horrible to have any kind of opinion on him. I don't think there can be any real judgement until we have a real QB, and a defense that isn't utterly decimated with injuries.

A rare win for the Panthers in a trade, though I will stand by what I've always felt about Mingo. He's got potential that this team simply could not harness.

It's not just the worst Panthers team ever... It's the worst team ever. Yes, I know there have been teams that went a whole season without a win, but we are on pace to have the worst defense in the history of the game.

Any QB brought to this team right now is going to be destroyed. They need to trade down and build up a supporting cast. The defense is so terrible right now we have to win shootouts, and while I think our offense can be relatively decent, it's in no way, shape, or form built to win any kind of high-scoring affair.

Well, it's gotten us to two superbowls and quite a few playoff berths. Things have gone to hell in a handbasket ever since we started hiring these supposed offensive gurus.

At no point did I suggest there was a plethora of talent on this team.... We are bad for a reason. We do have exactly what you said, which is a few guys that could probably net a 3rd rounder or better. Not sure why you went off into left field with what I said?

The proper way to approach this rebuild is to trade off any player that can net you a 3rd round or higher draft pick (except good o linemen and the one or two good d lineman we have), then do your best to trade out of the incoming #1 pick to try to get some additional draft capital. Basically try to do to someone else what the Bears did to us. Draft best player available in every round. When you're this bad you just have to. Hopefully the BPA is D-line heavy and we can convert to 4-3 so we can focus on sideline-to-sideline players at LB. The team has to be rebuilt from the trenches.

Yeah. I've been on one for 4 years. I've been a quiet Chiefs fan during that time.

We need... and believe me it pains me to say this.... a defense-minded coach. For whatever reason they are just way, way better at these rebuild projects.

The offense is a little better than I thought it'd be, but only because Bryce is sitting on the bench. Other than that things are exactly as I expected. We are terrible.

He's playing well so long as Bryce Young doesn't keep running for his life directly into the guy that he's blocking when there is no pressure.

I have the exact plan that would work to perfection: Remainder of this season: Tank for a high pick, trade Bryce for whatever we can get, roll with Dalton. Extend current playmakers asap. No one on the team that's really worth a bank breaking sum except potentially Diontae, so they should focus on him asap. Offseason: Trade the high pick for a package of other picks, use picks to rebuild the defensive line. 2025 season: Tank again. #1 pick. Go get the franchise QB. Potentially could trade down a few spots and still get a franchise QB plus fill in some inevitable roster spots. There is no path to success for this team this season or next season, so we need to embrace the suck and take full advantage of it.

This is every year with the Panthers and will never end until training camp is moved indoors.

The game was poetic. The Bears used our #1 pick and DJ Moore to absolutely decimate a defense that is horribly depleted because of all the other picks we had to give them just to have the QB we got in exchange sit on the bench. It was beautiful in a way. A true full circle moment.

You seem to be completely ignoring the fact that teams were absolutely loading the box all of last season because Bryce couldn't throw more than 10 yards downfield. When we were at least somewhat of a threat to actually throw the ball we were able to establish the run which sets the pace and tone for the whole o-line.

I don't buy that the line was bad last year either. I think he made them look bad. People forget that going into last season our O-line was considered the strongest part of the team. Those guys didn't become bums overnight. Bryce Young doomed the entire franchise to failure. He is absolute hot garbage. Get him out of here. And it feels very, very good to say... told ya so!

Priority #1 should be dumping Bryce Young and getting whatever we can for him. We definitely need some draft capital.

Our front 7 is probably the least talented in the NFL with all the injuries we've had. He can only do so much.

This is exactly correct. We at least are not the worst team to ever step on the field now. There's hope. There's also no reason to be delusional and think we need to flip this team into a playoff contender right now. Getting some competent QB play has shown that we just might have hired the right guy as HC. Now give him and Morgan a few years to build this team.

Malik Willis being good is not an example of Malik Willis being good. It's an example of a franchise that just knows how to coach QBs. We are not that.

"I love Bryce, but this is a solid roster that was considered playoff ready before he was handed the reins, and putting a QB with half a brain and the body of an adult male in to start is really all the team needed to showcase its talent."

I think the whole defense played well. Almost as if they (for once) had hope that their efforts wouldn't be squandered away by a middle schooler playing QB.

It's absolutely bizarre that there are fans that almost WANT the team to move. This is absolutely moronic, not just from the standpoint of a fan, but from an economic perspective as well. Football Sundays are still a huge economic boon for the city of Charlotte and the surrounding area.
