Did I miss his introductory press conference? Any reason as to why he has not done one yet?

Fitterer - OUT!

Still think Bill and his ego wants the all-time wins record and the only way I’d get on board with the hire is by first hiring a team President to oversee all football operations and a GM that will lead a new personnel department. Bill is welcome in Charlotte but solely as a head ball coach, he should not and cannot have full and complete roster control as he has currently in New England.

Harbaugh really is the best solution. He’s built winning programs everywhere he has been and his teams play a tough, physical brand of football. He’s won in college and the NFL and is a proven commodity. Unfortunately, Tepper would have to make him an offer he simply cannot refuse and I just do not see that happening because I think Harbaugh is smart enough to know that Dave cannot keep his ego away from meddling in the football operations. Even a “promise” from Dave is likely to fall on deaf ears at this point. Dark days today, dark days ahead.

Unfortunately I think Fields is going to be in Atlanta cooking this team with Bijan, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts for a decade.

Stroud supporters being shown the door and/or seeing themselves out of this sinking ship.

My gut feeling tells me Ben Johnson to Carolina is nothing more than a pipe dream. I suspect he will be the top candidate for both the Chargers and Chicago that have a hell of a lot more upside and draft capital than we do right now. He either gets his pick of Herbert and that supporting cast of weapons, or the #1 overall pick and his choice of QB in Chicago. That sounds better to me than Bryce Young and an offense devoid of talent with David Tepper looming overhead.

Absolutely needs to be next in line and shown the door. Tepper hasn’t done a proper rebuild yet… always keeping the HC but firing the GM or keeping the GM while firing the HC. This roster is horrendous and Scott is the primary reason for that.

I think Scott knew he was on a short leash given his shortcomings and Burns was one of the only proven commodities on the team that may have been a piece towards building a winner culture and keeping Scott around a little longer. Unfortunately, we aren’t winning with or without him, and Scott would not be here to make those draft picks from the Rams anyways. I don’t think he was traded for Scott’s own selfish reasons.

In agreement - as much as it pains me to say. I have stopped buying any merch/gear from our team store and will no longer being spending my money to travel and watch this product. Used to be a die-hard myself but it’s just not worth it anymore. Wife at home, baby on the way… Panthers football just no longer on my priority list.

Unfortunately I see both of them coming back for 2024 as an increasingly more likely scenario. Both need to be gone together, or both retained. We have yet to clean house appropriately. Dave has kept a GM, let go the Head Coach, kept the Head Coach, fired the GM. The half-ass approach is part of the reason we are where we are currently. I tend to agree with the poster above… Scott and Frank have already made their bed in 2024. The purge will be next offseason most likely when results are much of the same. Let and new GM and Head Coach come in with a clean slate and their 1st round pick. Even then, going to be hard to attract top candidates with Dave at the helm. He likely has one of, if not the worst, reputations across the coaching ranks and front office/personnel folks.

Pass rush minus Burns, non-existent as expected.

Doubt it. We still have next week, and the week after that…

“Onto Chicago”

Burns haters gonna quickly find out what this defense looks like without him. Bears offense might look like the 2000s Rams on Thursday night. DJ Moore revenge game incoming.

Come back, CJ Stroud. We want a do over of draft night. This poo makes me sick.

Ron gotta be as good as gone in Washington. New ownership clearing house.

This defense is decimated. Woof.

Bad things as in… an 0-4 record and an inept offense that can’t get play calls in on time much less move the ball down the field or score touchdowns regularly? Gotcha.

Why would any high level coaching and front office candidate want to get anywhere near this franchise? Roster is poor with no depth and minimal draft capital with meddling owner that cannot seem to get out of his own way. This is easily one of the least attractive jobs league wide. Dark dark times ahead in Charlotte - I don’t think we’ve seen rock bottom yet and Tepper is the common denominator.

The problem is that this front office hasn’t shown it can draft successfully just as it hasn’t shown it cannot make impact signings in free agency on a consistent basis. Granted, we haven’t made or attempted many “big splashes”. Unfortunately I do not have the faith that this ownership and front office can get anything right. Cap space is great - maybe it can help to right the ship but I am going to say “prove it”.

Sanders’ deal was yet another contractual blunder from Fitt and co. to go along with Ian Thomas, Donte Jackson, etc.

Biggest gripe I have is the complete lack of foresight and the lack of patience that has us in the position. The upcoming draft is already being touted as one of the best QB classes, ever. We’d have a legit shot at the guy they are calling the next Patrick Mahomes and now he is likely to end up in Chicago with maybe the best WR prospect ever in Marvin Harrison Jr. Pair those two with someone like Ben Johnson at Head Coach, and Chicago instantly becomes a threat to win that division for years moving forward. Just a complete failure from the top down.

DB is absolutely the least of this team’s worries. I see him making tackles all over the field and he’s one of the only guys out there playing all out every snap.

It really is horrendous. Reich needs to man up and surrender the play calling duties asap. It is so stale. The league has passed him by.
