Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

There was a time when this place had bigots roaming. They were easy to spot in the Cam years. The overwhelming majority are long gone. But this logic that if you expect BY to play like a #1 pick and elevate the team you are racist is comical beyond words. Especially when you consider these same posters will throw any other player or coach under the bus in an instant to suit their narrative. Also. Under such logic. Every person critical of Evero is a racist. Which coincidentally would include pretty much every Bryce Young defender.

And that is the definition of what it is to be a #1 pick. Overcoming adversity and performing at a high level in doing so. Only in the Panthers fanbase has that definition shifted to playing at a high level only when the moving parts around them are elite and the conditions are 100% ideal. Loser mentality.

Idk if this has been posted but seems fairly relevant given the discussion of how tough our schedule is.

He's had 2 career games in a dome against the Falcons. Is there a specific reason you would rather not discuss the other 44?

Salt in the wound is this was a reactionary signing to missing out on Milton Williams. Morgan is not infallible unfortunately.

I've been told views like this only exist here on the CarolinaHuddle.

It's definitely noticeable the change in outlook on the Panthers now versus early in the year following the playoff game when hopium was high. Clearly more people have actually dug into the numbers and tape of our passing offense and came away with the obvious glaring conclusion. We will need to replicate the dominance of our run game last season or we are DOA.

The Bears? Where QB's and WR's go to die?

Well we've dogged on Joe Person for years and he's been pretty much the only constant around here. Just saying keep expectations low.

Hope to see you get that restored.

Of course it's a crapshoot to find a truly elite QB. But we don't even need that to be competitive or successful. Our two best long term starters in 3 decades of existence were both flawed yet productive passers and each led us to a Super Bowl. Hell Jake Delhomme in the year where his arm went off a cliff and we had to start Matt Moore for a couple spells we had a superior passing offense than anything we've seen under Bryce Young the last 3 years. We're still trying to crack the top 25. All I'm saying is this is not the 2023 Panthers by any means. The cupboards are not bare. We are not working with scraps. We have invested through the nose to build up the roster and the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've also added multiple first and second day pass catchers in the draft. If a QB can't succeed here they are cooked.

Some of those tougher matchups we've been going back and forth on definitely look more ideal at home. But if that leak is legit a bye week so early is the last thing we need especially given our slow starts the last few years.

We're about as far removed from lower level pieces as you can get. In OL spending we lead the league and are ahead of the next team the Eagles by a cool $11 million.

He's gone that's that no hate for the guy. There is a realistic probability we end up with someone that is either a push in comparison or possibly worse. It's better to prepare for the possibility in case.
