If you [Morgan & Canales] believe in a QB who will be the next Newton/Manning/Mahomes, when the Panthers pick, you have to pick him. If not pick the next Peppers. Please turn off ESPN/Kiper & without Tepper in the room when you decide. Morgan, please bring in some QB insurance besides Young for 2025. This was a shortcoming of your work in 2024.

Ever since Tepper bought the team we have been hyped as "play-off bound" by somebody, Starting with RR/MH [95%MH], then MR/MH, then MR/SF, then the super-max hype from FR/SF. Tepper is guilty of falling for it along with a lot of Huddlers [even those that will never admit it] We are hardly the first team to have both a bad HC & GM. When we get to 10-20 years of such then we'll fit in with the worst. As far as next season goes: I am looking for improved play pointing to long term success. If Bryce proves what I think wrong & turns into a NFL QB great. But right now I'm looking at the other players proving themselves for 2025 & 2026 & beyond.

Just a fluff piece to keep clicks & job going. IMO, Not to worried. Morgan will sign another QB before the season starts via waiver-cuts/UFL & Young will be "injured" by Thanksgiving. IMO.

For a QB, draft value charts have been thrown out the window, historically. Future first or second + 2nd or 3rd, or no deal.

Much better if you look at it with more of a long term outlook. Morgan & Tilis have not spent a lot of future salary cap or draft capital that Fitt-Rhule/Reich were so fond of. They have recovered some of the cap & draft capital previously spent with some timely cuts & trades. 2024 will be rough, but 2025-26 are looking vastly better as a result.

Sorry to disappoint anyone but ,IMO, there is no chance any draftee, FA, or HC hire that will move the Panthers from dead last into at best 20th in the league. Thanks Fitterer & Tepper for your trades, non trades, draft picks, FA signings, over paying of some players, & the list goes on. Face the facts, 2024 will be a washed out year, IMO. First thing I think they should do is put Burns on a non-ex FA tag, if somebody wants him for even firsts in 25 & 26. If he holds out, save the salary cap for 25 & 26. The 2nd round should be BPA except QB, drafting a QB is too much like putting premium in a clunker with bald tires. IF somebody wants to trade up for our pick, make sure to get at least a 2nd in 24 & a 2nd or better in 25. Right now draft BPA in every round. The team needs a new/different player across the roster.

Dallas plays again 4 days after Carolina. Look for them to rest starters beginning in the third if they have a safe lead [2-3 scores]. If line grows much more BEWARE

Quite simple, CBS is showing one game Sunday. If you are in Panthers broadcast area, you get it a 4pm if not you get one of the other games at 1pm.

Watch Corral get signed to NE practice squad as soon as he clears waivers.

You can't compare our fan base to most of the other team's. Panthers have been playing for 27yrs versus other teams for up to a 100+yrs. It takes time to build a "worldwide" fan base & the Panthers have done quite well, but other teams have a 13 mile head start in this marathon. Since family has a bearing on one's fandom, a team like Green Bay [for example], has fans dating back to a person's great-great grandparents. It seems that switching our fandom from other teams is not as easy as flipping a switch & most if not all of us still hold on to a soft spot in our hearts for a prior team that we pulled for. IMO

Not excited by either 2nd or 3rd round picks. Hope both prove me wrong. Had higher rated DEs. DBs, WRs & even a TE or two on the board when either were drafted. Does anyone remember that the defense let Mitch look like 2021 level Brady. I sure hope Evero can pull a lot of rabbits out of his hat next season. Just IMO

Some of us are "young" enough to remember back to when sports news was limited to weekly/monthly mags. I recall a QB who was labeled as just a little mentally slow. Since then Terry Bradshaw has been riding that horse to the bank every week for forty+ years.

Not a bad deal for either team. GB basically gets a 2nd this year & two 1sts next year to pad roster around Love. If he doesn't work out, they,ll have two 1sts next year to find replacement. Jets will now be in the SB conversation next year & possibly longer.

Very unsure of this draft, unlike most others here. Awaiting for the other shoe to drop as Tepper has made or influenced a bone-head decision at least once or twice every off-season, IMO. Is Young the one or will there be another with lesser impact? Could Stroud be the pick despite being favored by at least one of the draft "experts", who has a record of picking busts dating back for years. IMO, 2nd has to be edge or CB with the rest of draft being balanced between O & D. Just don't think it is too wise to draft 6-7 players on one side, ala Rhule, or 3 picks at one position, ala G-Man.

Sorry but Mr Klein's points for a vet QB to back-up a rookie are rather weak. What to do in his daily routine? What to eat? When to go to bed? How to watch tape when he has been in QB rooms for at least 2 or more years watching tape as a college QB? Is it worth about 5 million for this?. Just bring in his mother or big sister if this is what you need, IMO. Corral or a UDFA can be coached into a capable back-up when & if the need arrises.
