What Dave Gettleman did to the Panthers roster after a Super Bowl appearance is criminal. But. He actually had success and got us there. He still shits all over Fitterer.

Somehow Fitterer still has some believers here as strange as it sounds. Guess some folks enjoy not having a winning season.

It's still a long season but so far Stroud's traits are transitioning to the NFL just fine. Those 3rd down numbers remind me of Newton though. He was damn good on third down for a long time as well.

That man got MISSING.

Same. I'll be keeping tabs on the score though. No matter how awful they may be I'll at minimum keep up with the season of the Panthers and the Hornets.

How can anyone expect to have a knock your socks off interview for the most important hire of your franchise through zoom? I think it's because we were impatient that was just an excuse. All we had to do was wait until the Super Bowl was over. Just foolishness.

The only silver lining to this fiasco is I know Tepper is fuming. I think it's hilarious. If Reich and Co keep embarrassing Dave I wouldn't put anything past him if things get bad enough. I mean we're starting Andy Dalton. It's either going to go well or it's going to be a steaming pile of poo.

With what he's managed to do with Jimmy G and now Purdy anything is possible I suppose. Must be nice eh.

I agree Sam has the physical tools. Idk if even Shanahan can save him though. Eventually he will do what Sam does and force a baffling throw. I still can picture that dart into triple coverage against the Giants.

Well that's an opinion.

Idk man I think you're doing the same thing with me you were doing with Varking in a recent thread and you were mistaken there too. You're chasing shadows. Hey I hope you're having a great Friday though!

What are you even rambling about? You are big mad. I didn't want Darnold. He wasn't even on anyone in this fanbases radar until Rhule and Fitterer started sniffing around. All of us tried to convince ourselves he could be salvaged what other choice was there after Scott picked up his 5th year option?

Carl is just mad Stroud isn't looking like a massive bust. He'll be okay.

Tepper makes JR look like an all time great owner and that's probably an understatement. Dave and his wife clearly at minimum lightly pushed the "decision makers" toward Young. When your boss and his wife are head over heels are you going to argue? I'll be interested to hear info about all that process eventually come out in the next several years because you know it's going to be a doozy. I like Bryce Young on a personal level but the pick was always a gamble and I'm trying to think of a worse first overall pick QB trade the last several years going so badly within the first few weeks of the season and this is looking like Johnny Manziel Browns territory. Sorry but that's the situation.

Bryce Young avatar guys are feeding on each other now. You know it's not going well.

Carl spent a good month then a week+ raging about both the McCaffrey and Moore trades yet now he's the spokesperson for the front office and David Tepper again. Hey whatever floats your boat but it's confusing.

When you hear about and get photo ops of the wife of the owner "falling in love" and embracing one particular prospect over another from the same owner that brought us Matt Rhule and Sam Darnold it's not a great sign. For some reason some folks thought it was fantastic.

Only guy smaller than he is out there is the kid holding the bags. Oh Panthers...

This is getting sketch. I guess all you can do is hope Bryce Young bucks the trend and pulls a full 180 from here. But this has to be one of the worst starts to a first overall pick in some years. Certainly not looking good for our Panthers.

Wow it takes a really dedicated sycophant to blame fans for a shitty on the field product.

Maybe Wilks was the better choice. Or maybe we shouldn't have hired either of them and threw everything including the kitchen sink at Steichen until he said yes. As of lately it seems like we can count on the Panthers to make either the wrong choice or the one with the most difficult path to success. It's just what we do.

Who cares about Fields? That draft is over and done with. We made our bed with Horn. I'm focused on the haul we gave up this year only to have to resort to starting Andy Dalton in week 3.

Carl you're having a meltdown tbh

It's interesting how quickly narratives can flip. Everyone assumed CJ was going to one of the worst possible destinations with a joke of a staff and a roster devoid of any offensive talent while Young was going to a team although doing some reshuffling with the roster a great fit for a rookie QB to be dropped into because they're helmed by an all star staff. Meanwhile Stroud has already thrown for 626 yards and 2 touchdowns at 6.9 YPA while Young is rock bottom in YPA amongst his peers and possibly now sitting because the staff doesn't want to risk his development. Life comes at ya fast.

If it's nothing too serious and they still aren't wanting to play him that trade we made is DOA. Other teams take note on everything and with this you are signifying he is fragile fair or not. You thought opposing defenses were making his life difficult before? Either have the confidence in your rookie QB you started and traded substantial assets for or you wave the white flag. If and when he comes back he's really going to face the fire.
