CMC is on record claiming at the time he was shocked and angry they traded him. https://www.si.com/.amp/nfl/2023/03/02/christian-mccaffrey-anger-panthers-traded-49ers

The Panthers pretended a committee RB the Eagles didn’t want because he wasn’t diverse enough….was a major add. They called this an all star staff. A plug in QB roster. so when the Panthers say they are all on a big time WR….they are probably talking about some random practice squad type. There scale is different.

sorry, this play only works if we throw it to Theilen

They don’t want to come here. Devante Adams literally complaining about losing and limited time.

A 16 seed had never beat a 1 in March Madness ….until they did. Anything is possible. Likely? Nope. all about matchups and schedules. And how much effort some will put in once it all becomes pointless I think we stumble into 3 or 4 after the bye personally. Gonna catch a team at some point that gives one or two away. That’s just football.

I think that talk of being in on a top tier WR….is Tepper. That’s the worrisome part.

Mike Tomlin would be awesome. But that's fantasy. Tepper was rumored trying to oust him. And Tomlin could basically go anywhere he wanted.

Hate I can't embed tweets anymore. Someone hit the biggest problem on the head for those in BOA. They were so busy blowing smoke up everyone's butt coming off Matt Rhule....they are facing the consequences. Narrative vs Reality - only a QB away - all star coaching staff - win now - playoffs in a weak division None of that was actually true. But they wanted to get people excited after so much suck. Should of borrowed that line from Matt Rhule about Jay Z.

maybe it will even out. Because Tepper gave Matt Rhule way too much time.

that's the million dollar question. You never actually know where the bad decision rests. What was Rhule what was Fitt. What is Frank and what is Fitt. What is Fitt and what is Dave. maybe I want something different now Dave....is the one pushing for the WR.

It would basically appease people over the bye week. "They did something". But it changes nothing in the short term. All it takes is a week of football and everyone would be just as enraged with a L to Houston.

He can fire Fitt. That really the only place to go when it comes time to feed the angry football god. Which does nothing to make us better today. Can't even blame the OC when it's Frank call the plays out of his core O. But Frank has done it before.

we don't need to imagine it. Steve Smith was not a happy man in 2010.

Gross, Wharton, Kalil was probably the best center to left side in Panther history.

NIL doesn't exist. That was just an idea that quickly got polluted. It's just pay to play. Bags of cash to rent players. Millions. That's just flat out professional football. And unlike the NFL, it's not designed for parity. Never really has been but this will continue to make that way worse. There will be schools that embrace the pro aspect and have the dollars to do so.....and then there will be colleges without the budget nor want to be part of the minor league NFL system. It will kill a lot of the tradition along the way IMO. early stages, but you can basically take Deion Sanders and Colorado as the textbook case and push what they are doing forward. Now take that model and have Bama doing that post Saban with the money and want. It basically is going to take the flawed under the table model/booster model....and inject it with steroids. But instead of bribing high school kids you can just go build a legit college all star team year to year. So take a Marvin Harrison Jr? Well, in the future he won't stay at Ohio St once CJ Stroud leaves. Someone will just pay him a couple million to play that final season for Georgia. But who knows. Last decade it basically was Bama, Clemson, UGA Ohio St, OU and Michigan, ND. So maybe nothing matters.

nah, people don't want Bryce to be Cam. People want a #1 overall QB we traded up for gave away fan favorites for.....to have the basic physical tools that are generally standard with QBs drafted in that manner. Bryce doesn't have the arm to make a lot of NFL throws. That's just a reality. Especially in today's passing league. They are off the table. Too risky given he doesn't have the velocity. And he is built like my middle schooler. So he isn't going to be able to keep plays alive on occasion by breaking through contact that gets to him. Bryce just isn't the standard of today's NFL. Doesn't mean he can't be good. Doesn't mean he doesn't have his own strengths. But Bryce is limited physically in a way you generally don't see from top tier NFL prospects. And that is tough to swallow.

meh, current set up has college football on a horrific path in the big picture. Ruining what made it great. it just going to be really shitty version of professional football at it's current path. At least the relevant top of it. It was always flawed. They are now are going to ruin it.

the don't cuss people are much more tolerable than the please don't stand up people.

reason # 7443 why I like my GM/HC paired. When they are unpaired, everyone has different priorities and timetables. Because the seats are at different temperatures. Fitt was coming into this season with a seat at a different temperature than Frank. I don't think Fitt thought we could have a boring season and wait for the good/heavy QB class of 2024. I think Frank would have been fine waiting. Fine just seeing what happened in the draft itself.

I mean, I personally don't care but how you going to look down on ketchup on a hotdog while championing ketchup on da chicken nuggies?

see this is bad coaching though. you see this all the time. that's on the staff. another reason why Frank shouldn't call games. dude is lost in his poo playcalling. Frank botching all kinds of basics too. Saw that Sunday. Bryce hasn't been good. It's tough to argue there is any evidence this staff is able to help this kid out. I think they need to install a slow no huddle. Cam thrived in it. You can run Frank's simplistic game out of that. QB gets to the line early. Call ready. Plenty of time to relax, check out the landscape, time is on your side.

Argument is there for Stroud being off to the best individual start by a rookie. All time 4 games in he is behind Cam and in front of Luck in passing yards at #2. Difference is Stroud has 0 INTs. Cam had 4 and Luck 5.

Plenty of stuff available on Frank in Indy for you to go listen to. multiple things can be true. Generally always are. There is no one thing to fix here. We got multiple issues and the marriage of that is obviously bad.

Frank independently sucks. This horrific and predictable scheme/playcalling isn't created for Bryce. It's what he does. Frank doesn't just suck out of catering to a rookie. A limited rookie definitely makes Frank probably worse. I mean, everything is essentially designed for his classic big body QB to sit back there. Frank is a dinosaur. There has been no real adapting for Bryce to be successful as a rookie. Frank's idea of helping Bryce is to just have even worse playcalls and be more predictable.

No, Bryce is just limited. That's going to be it's own thing regardless even as he develops. You can get a good scheme, playcaller, and talent. But Bryce simply isn't going to ever bring some things to the table. And that's probably true with most players.
