I said when. I know you aren't there yet. Goes back to why I wanted Fitt fired with Rhule. Because you then had a GM and HC paired up.....that have unique and separate timelines. Different worries. I'll make exceptions for great HCs or great GMs. None of which we employed. Going up for that first overall pick meant more for Fitt and Tepper than Frank. Because they were coming off the Rhule era stink in Carolina. They needed "us" to view things and them drastically different.

Browns are the least thrown against team in the NFL. Cowboys are the 3rd least thrown against team Garrett is top 5 in sacks. Parsons is top 10 in sacks It's only stopping Burns

as I have told you, open arms whenever you are ready to come to terms with Fitt. when Tepper was talking about his point guard and being able to invest so heavily elsewhere, he was talking like a GM sold him on the idea. And I still think the Jaycee Horn pick was a Fitt creation too. It's why I was scared we would waste a top pick on a DB. Fitt coming from a franchise that won off D and secondary play. That was the Seattle blueprint for success.

I've talked about the overcorrection since the say we fired Matt Rhule. Tepper going with Frank was an overcorrection. Then icing on the overcorrection cake was to force a staff of everything on it. You want young talent? You got it. You want old dinosaurs that knows everything sitting on top of the young talent? You got it. You want people that could only be employed by Matt Rhule? You got. Does everyone have different ideas? Yep. Is stubborn old Frank just going to do what he does largely with a cast of random parts and staff directed upon him? Yep. Then the GM was like.....you want some names? I'll just go sign whatever name is available. Do they fit what Frank/Bryce would be doing? Nope.

they say lots of things. They often say them because they want to set the narrative and how things are viewed. No one ever says the owner made me in real time for example. Even when that is the case. They will address those things in real time by saying spewing a bunch of bologna. You "know" what Frank said based on what the Panthers wanted to you to think and know. Owners often dictate realities. It's always spun that they didn't. Frank had that in Indy too. In real time, the Colts set a narrative of what they wanted fans to think. Reality, many things were just demands the owner sold as TOTALLY Frank's idea

seems like just the other week, I was telling you I thought it was Tepper that directed Frank about how the staff had to look and be. Frank didn't come in here and hire the staff as he thought it should be structured and who was hired. everything has a been a forced bad marriage on so many levels. Coaches, to players to scheme. Just a bunch of random parts.

See, I don’t even view him as a versatile pass rusher. The more I watch dudes like Crosby and the likes….the more one dimensional Burns looks in his pass rushing. Got guys like Trent Williams talking about the deep bag of tricks guys like Crosby have…Burns seems overly dependent on that outside speed rush. And without pressure up the middle Burns becomes invisible as a result.

FSU likely isn’t one of the top 4 best teams. But you had to put them in. You simply can’t exclude an undefeated power 5 team for a bunch of 1 loss teams. That is the committee imploring too much subjectivity….and in a year where the other power 5 conferences weren’t even that great vs prior years.

Marty was flat out better. Marty always had good things to hang his hat on. Marty flat out drafted some dominant players. Not even close if you look and compare Marty 3 years into the role here. Marty was dare I say….good….in that early window overall.

Pretty much.

I’m sticking with my prediction he ends up walking for nothing….just like Peppers

Evero is a good DC. Some of it is just Burns. While he is largely a one dimensional edge player…..even his strength gets too predictable and one dimensional in his pass rushing. I’d love to have him if I had great inside pressure. But without great inside pressure Burns shows his limitations. It’s not the opposing DE IMO he needs the most. It’s DT play to push the QB back….because Burns is over reliant on the speed rush outside and gets pushed back behind the QB.

Problem is we are poorly managed… we also have almost zero upper end talent. trading him will also highlight how bad the front office handled Burns (because it will highlight how dumb they were and how poorly managed the asset….and these people know everyone views them as idiots already) we aren’t out of the woods on a horrific deal being made still

pitch counts are normal. He should of been on one. But a pitch counts allows you to play the entire game essentially with sporadic work. When was Horn's last rep? What was his rep distribution. I just don't think this is horrific slander and a bad job by the reporter. They ended up sitting him for some reason. Who knows what was. I got no clue. Could of been something Horn reported to them and they were being cautious. Might as well. These games don't matter. But the coaches flat out decided he needed to be done.

Scott Fitterer: good news! We got 7 7th round picks now!!!

we got Gamecock fans advocating for a dude that went 0-2 vs the ACC this year....and finished the season looking like a bad Bryce Young in the NFL. All Spencer Rattler would do is sit behind Bryce Young. We definitely don't need to waste the 33rd pick in the draft on that. A good GM should be able to draft legit offensive skill talent there.

we can't afford to water down our picks. Draft BPA on offense in the 2nd. It will essentially be on par with a low end 1st round pick

BPA of offensive players. Heck, I would have a reverse Gettlemen draft. Nothing but that.

50%, 112 yards and an INT. That's how Rattler ended his college career. Not really interested in an SEC QB who went 0-2 vs the ACC and couldn't even muster a TD this year.

that's not a how a traditional pitch count works though, is it? I mean, you don't just log all your reps at the start and then miss the rest of the game. That's not a traditional pitch count. It sets you up to play the entire game in a limited capacity.

Winston could at least randomly throw for 400 yards or have like a 5 TD afternoon. Even he can offer some false hope. It’s basically what has kept him employed. That you might catch that random good day if he was ever called upon.

Minshew has had some wow plays in his career. Hell, PJ Walker even managed one. Bryce Young looks like a UDFA and we are 3 QB injuries in on the season. I know he is in a bad scenario. But he doesn’t have the tools.

Saying someone had a disappointing year doesn’t make them comparable to Bryce. Peyton Manning also rewrote the rookie record book while disappointing. He still showed potential and reason to excited. And he was a lab built NFL QB. Trevor Lawerence’s starting WR is depth for Bryce Young. Bryce’s skill talent is weak and yet better than Trevors. His NFL debut was a 300 + yard game. And he was a lab built NFL QB. Burrow probably had the worst OL in the NFL and still went for 300+ in half his games. And he was a lab built NFL QB Bryce Young doesn’t have an elite NFL skill set like everyone else listed. It stands out. He has no special ability. He has provided no hope.

1:45. Straight off the couch at 43

Cam’s arm was stronger. It just didn’t work right. Does Bryce have a stronger arm than anyone in Panther history. I need to go watch some old Clausen.
