As Panthers fans we're gonna be hearing about this one for years. I've accepted it. Just have to swallow that lump in your throat and keep moving. All that being said. This oft used cope by some people that he would have sucked here needs to never be seen again. Talent is talent. He might have had some struggles here but he unequivocally would change this offense with his physical abilities.

The panic button was last season. This season we did absolutely nothing to give ourselves any other option at QB as an insurance policy. Dan Morgan should be ashamed of himself.

Another issue that was long known about when we drafted him. He almost never took under center snaps at Alabama.

The league made Jerry Richardson sell before Dan Snyder. They don't give a fug.

What a difference a year makes lol damn.

It's very simple. He did what he needed to do (in this case not do by hiding out at the combine) in order to get himself selected #1 overall. When he finally set foot on an NFL field in an NFL game he realized how tough it was going to be and he's been checked out since. He told us what was up by how he reacted to the conclusion of last season. He came back looking every bit exactly the same. At this point in time with what we know I see him his inner circle of agents and reps and his family as nothing more than con artists. He is the Matt Rhule of first overall picks.

Please do not confuse anything that I'm saying as being some kind of suggestion Andy Dalton is anything special. I know what Dalton is. But this regime made their bed. They could have taken a late round QB or signed a decent young backup QB one of the other teams released instead of coddling Bryce Young like an infant. This season is about development nothing more.

Of course he's a practice squad warrior he doesn't have to worry about getting hit in practice.

You uhh....watch the game today?

Damn I'm out of pie. Gotta reup!

Yes let's talk about that. We've been losing more often than not going all the way back to 2019 so 5 years now. Within just the last 2 years we've sunk lower lower and lower. But some of you think with just one player suddenly our locker room and culture is going to change overnight? That's pure fantasy. There is no Cam Newton 2.0 walking through that door. And even if there was that guy got absolute hell for being miserable over losing. So you'll have to excuse me if I don't just automatically buy in that another season of historical lows across the board is going to suddenly shift into not only competitive football again but postseason contention.

Oh come on. It's not about saving the season. It's about giving your locker room anything whatsoever to build on. There is absolutely nothing to build on from week in and week out by seeing how historically lower you can go in the passing stat sheet.

Tanking is a fan concept. It does not work in NFL locker rooms where there are 50+ players whose careers are hanging in the balance. Just being associated with this historically bad nightmare is tarnishing when you look bad as well by proximity. Yes theoretically you can get the first pick this way but do any of you ever want to establish a real culture here again? Incinerating your locker room for the first pick isn't the cut and dry win some of you think it is. Plus at the end of the day. Scott Fitterer's former best friend will be making the pick with Mr. Tepper leaning over his shoulder.

You...me...same. I just hoped for the best and tried to support the pick. Now? Pain.......

To everyone talking about the jump passes. Remember the condescending "size bros" moniker? Fun times.

Ready for these post-game interviews. Should be more entertaining than the game

Unfortunately.

Guys have their own careers on the line with this mess. People thinking just keep playing Bryce are nuts.

Oh of course. I was just curious if you were saying someone with the team mentioned that recently. But I think everything is tarnished by the fact Tepper won't stay out. And the on top of all this he and the people he hires are all delusional as hell instead of trying to be realistic. It's always been we are this player away or that player away from being competitive. We don't even know what the definition of a rebuild is. Or how to identify or develop talent. The perfect storm of utter incompetence.

Did someone with the team suggest this lol?

That and leadership and his supposed improvisational ability (heard the word magician frequently) to buy himself time in the pocket to make plays were the top 3 selling points. Meanwhile the other end of the narrative was ignore his size. Size doesn't matter. About that...

Souring on Canales. At this point I'm beginning to think both the GM and head coaching hires are more of the same of just flat out Tepper cronyism. Hired because they will do what he tells them. We are done until he sells the team. All there is to it.
