Reich should not be picking the QB after basically forcing the Colts to trade a first round pick for Wentz. The guy can scheme and coach a QB, but he cannot scout one. There are better people in the FO for that.

Guy on twitter posted these this morning titled “Panthers 2023 Uniforms” it is BS but it does make me frustrated that all we are getting is a slight change and a color correction. 

this looks fantastic imo

only reason I’ll miss the silver is I like getting gear in grey but I think that won’t change as I see other teams in gray

but theses unis are A+

Agree. It's not a matter of if BY gets hurt, it's a question of when he gets hurt. All guys at that level sustain injuries, but his frame is the issue. I can envision a snowball effect and that would be disaster for this franchise 

Not sure if it’d be a disaster…maybe on par. Which we desperately need to break.

Tepper wasn't the issue 

Tepper hired him and offered him a contract other owners laughed at

Tepper was an is the issue until proven otherwise.

Why so many apologists? Is it because we are stuck with him? I still remember quite a bit of people on this forum backing moves JR for 2010 then go on to a two in season.

Y’all don’t have to love everything that the owner does and excuse all wrong…it’s weird

These lists don't make a bit of damn sense.

It makes sense. It’s based on criteria that is abundant as hell in Vegas (alcohol, short cab rides, and average drink prices). Those things are dirt cheap in Vegas.

if any iteration of the panthers org/coaching staff should be trusted to make the decision, it's this one.

until i see otherwise...

in panthers history, sure. In general…eh not too sure. We still don’t know how much of the past was due to Fit vs Rhule. I think Fit had more say than people think. And he’s not had any or little experience targeting a franchise QB.

Similarly Reich convinced the Colts single handedly to trade a first round pick for…Wentz.

Then there’s Tepper and his wife…I mean. I hope no one trust his judgment at this point for obvious reasons.

These are the guys in charge. Now, our other coaches (not in charge so much) are promising, have better track records and experience, and I trust them a bit more. I really hope they have some say.

It’s almost as if it’s not so different from any other job, the higher ups aren’t really in touch for whatever reason but the people under them are the best at explaining/executing their actual jobs.

Why does Cam Newton bother you so much?

 

Are you even a Panthers fan?

 

Imagine getting mad when people mention the only MVP in franchise history. Sorry bud but Cam Newton will be talked about forever. Might want to find another team if you going to get pissed when people bring him up.

With all disrespect, you’ll never be as good at anything as Cam CURRENTLY is at playing football. The fact that you feel the need to declare something over to make yourself feel better is what’s truly pathetic.

Because he’s everything that he could never be. Makes him feel better to think that Cam is done. Classic low self esteem stuff. 

Lol do you guys actually read what you type? What are you guys even taking about? We have the #1 pick and possibly the best coaching staff in franchise history and y’all are going on about cam and Rivera?

And when someone tells you to get over it move on because there are better things as a fan to be thinking about you lash out with these responses and claim others have a mental defect?

lol again…seek help

y’all cam stans need to seriously seek help

Has anyone actually talked to any Florida fans about him? I feel like it’s pretty telling that the mass majority of them think he was hot garbage. 
 

Are we really buying that he’s in consideration?

I live 20 miles north of BYU and it was pretty much unanimous that Wilson would fail horribly in the NFL, even by fans who beloved him. Also, fans of our past players from my area (Gross, Smitty, Lotuleilei) had them accurately pegged as well.

Over the years I’ve come to take college fans’ a bit more seriously, even though I don’t watch college. Not to say they can’t be wrong.

that’s weird, 90% of this form said that Rhule and co moving him back was genius and gave everyone else poo for saying otherwise

let that be a lesson to any new huddlers

Been everywhere and lived everywhere. Charlotte and Raleigh are very plain but nice and clean cities with a lot to offer and great geographical location. Charleston isn’t bad, kind of like Savannah. But grimey areas are very grimey. Boone is beautiful but small. Asheville way too hipster slash hillbilly, uninteresting, expensive and touristy for my taste. Also too small.

East TN like Chattanooga is dirty. Same with Knoxville. COVID shut downd hit these towns hard. Might as well split the cities into people with lots of money and people with zero.

I’m a six hour drive from Vegas. It’s a complete wasteland. I am NOT a fan of dessert terrain. I like nature. Pants and wildlife. Fun to visit though.

Reich alone got the Colts to trade a first round pick and then some for Wentz.

I really hope to god he considers others ‘bias’ opinions.

But whatever happens it better be the right pick or Tep needs to empty house, and then hire help, period.

god this these type of headlines make my head hurt

just goes to show how unrealistic Madden is to be able to delusion people into thinking such dumbassery is actually feasible

McCown seems the be the only one on staff really high on CJ.

Fitterer & Thomas seem to be in on Bryce.

Not sure where Reich or Caldwell lean yet.

To me that's advantage Bryce.

Why? Reich has made very, very poor qb decisions in the past. Rhule’s GM has zero clue and zero experience drafting a QB…

Thomas and Caldwell are legit. McCown just might be the best qualified that we have, not sure why our fans don’t see that.

Just simply look at evidence. Let’s stop BSing already and keep it real. Everyone on this coaching staff has strengths, let’s not pretend they can do everything just because they’re on our favorite team.

They’re 100% right. Tepper is and has been this franchise’s biggest problem.  While it appears that may be turning a corner, fact is we still don’t know.

Rhule is a college coach. He could very well, even likely, have success at Nebraska. He’s mean to teach children, not men. And Tepper saw that differently. So much so he gave him full control and an asinine contact. But Rhule was the problem?

Not sure why this is so hard to understand.

I don’t think we were seriously interested in him at anywhere near the price he ultimately got. I think we were set on drafting a QB from day 1 of the offseason

Well day 1 of this off-season. Would’ve been nice to have that kind of conviction earlier and give up less for Herbert or stop winning meaningless games.

But Tepper sure is like hell trying to get that ‘good job’ from fans that he figured it all out despite most of it already being known, by even the biggest idiot arm chair owners on this forum.

Nevertheless it is finally happening the right way and way fans with a clue have been screaming about for 5/6 years while the franchise looked for cheat codes.

Finally excited for a season.

The Panthers didn’t even exist yet when the Bears accomplished all of those things.

Since 95 The Panthers have appeared in 2 Superbowls compared to the bears 1 and have won their division 6 times to the bears 5.

Also since 95 the Panthers have 9 playoff wins to the Bears 3. 
 

The Panthers have clearly been the better team since their inception.

That’s honestly not that great or big of a difference. People get mad but the Jets and Jaguars and Bears are in our tier. Hell the jets are almost exact in W/L since inception and are one championship game away. Same with Jags. In fact, there is no other team in the entire league more similar - let that sink in. 

Yet people still mock those teams, clearly our fans can’t see their homer delusions.  Ironically, those are the reasons these people also hate Cowboys fans.

We aren’t the Lions, Dolphins, or Browns yes thank god. But we aren’t much more than that either.

Guys…yea…BPA is subjective pretty much after like the first 10-15 picks. That’s why our certified ‘straight BPA’ drafts that made little sense turn out  trash.

I say fug that and scope out your guy, then trade up or down to make it work. Make quality picks. Preferably a WR.

Of course this still requires diligence and competence from the FO which hasn’t been proven with results yet.

That’s exactly what he’s doing, and if I’m not mistaken, he had little to do with that. In fact he has basically zero experience. And Rhule hired him. Tep clung on. Hmmm seems familiar. God help us if Fit has really any say in this. He needs to let the qualified football people decide. And I don’t mean Reich. Reich is the kind of guy that thinks faith similar to his, and the ‘amount’ of it is some sort of factor.

So the head coach and the man ultimately in charge of the offense the one calling plays this year should stay tf out it hmmmm sounds crazy to me.

Darnold trade was pure idiotic he was 30th in QBR before coming here next season here, he was 31st lol. It made no sense to get Sam but Matt had the wool pulled over DT eyes

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/nfl/news/carson-wentz-trade-frank-reich-colts-jim-irsay-apologized/oiawr2uz0rn3g2yaajbaigte

Reich is a superior offense play call designer. Absolutely NOT a QB guru. People on this forum made that up for some reason. It’s not the same. 

Caldwell, Brown and McCown need to determine the pick.

Tepper, his wife, Reich and Fit need to stay the fug out of it.

At one time Charlotte was one of the fastest growing cities in the country.  What you hate about Charlotte will happen to Raleigh,a biggish city with no identity.  Like how no one is from Charlotte, no one will be from Raleigh as well.

People who hate on those cities aren’t too aware of what other cities are like. Those with history/culture/character also have a lot of issues that come with that diversity such as engrained disparity. Lots of raff. Some don’t want to deal with that. As I get older and have lived just about in every mid to large city, both Raleigh and Charlotte are fantastic, above average cities to settle down for those over the age of 30.

MCCown is the only person I trust evaluating QBs to be honest and that’s not really saying anything. I have no idea if he will be a good evaluator but that unknown beats what we do know -

Tepper and Rhule’s GM both inept/little to zero experience, Reich has made god awful QB evaluations based on religion…

Hell I even trust Morgan more than any of them. I hope Brown has some say as well.

The Panthers know they are taking Stroud.  The other teams know we are taking Stroud, which is why they are hardly there.  The NFL wants the pick to be a secret to get ratings and clicks up, and the Panthers are happy to play along.  

100% and it works. Look at this forum lol
