It was a legitimate complaint but the fact we had a franchise quarterback was the piece that held it all together whether we had a consistent left tackle or not. Do we go 15-1 and appear in super bowl 50 if we took Marcell Dareus instead of a signal caller like many wanted? People are hung up on left tackle because it's been so long since Gross and think we can plug one in and we are done but within the next twelve months we still need a center and there are no guarantees we workout a long term deal with Taylor Moton. No matter which angle you look at this from the offensive line is far from being complete if that even happens because things don't often go according to plan in sports and injuries happen too.

So no different than the guy before him then or the guy before that? Winning seems to be the cure all while losing only brings uncomfortable questions and fan anger. Go figure. Who knew right?

I share your skepticism but pickings are slim to say the least. I used to be where you are but eventually you have to release all that negative energy and let go of what was and embrace what will be both good and bad. I hope you find peace with it brother.

Ryan Grigson's biggest problem wasn't just which specific positions he was selecting but that he was an awful evaluator of talent period. To apply a well this is what Ryan Grigson did and it didn't work out label to every mock that doesn't have us taking a left tackle is silliness. Fitterer could be great or he could be a dud we won't know for a few years but Seattle hasn't exactly been known for stellar drafts as of late.

He is one of those football fans who holds millionaire athletes to a different standard than the billionaire owners who hold cities hostage over stadiums. Don't expect much.

So basically Darnold or whomever is the next long term starter would have to be the worst quarterback in NFL history to be worse than Bridgewater.

Currents is a great album.

If you are going to feel bad for anyone it should be the rookies and second or third year players on affordable contracts and the value within to the franchise. They are in there trying to increase their worth and the Panthers are trying to build on that while the young core is still in place. Unfortunately their contributions to the team went to waste with instances like two yard passes on fourth and long so the sob story isn't going to make it far.

After a few months of the team putting out negative press about him this should be common sense but somehow people still aren't reading the tea leaves.

I'm all for ending the personal attacks which are unnecessary but man speaking situational football wise it was pretty damn terrible. If you were to go back and rewatch the tape of some of those squandered drives you would probably lose your lunch. When people were wondering whether Kyle Allen could have faired similarly for much less financial commitment that about says it all. Allen by the way took quite a beating from the fanbase too.

If the Panthers feel as down on him as they have expressed in their barbs to the media the last few months why would they want him trying to mentor the next guy anyway? Everyone is just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

If players daring to be outspoken is such a burden on your psyche there are other sports you can follow. It's honestly weird to be a fan and cheer louder for the billionaires while talking down to the athletes who make the game worth watching. You give off Donald Sterling vibes Scott.

12 billion in revenue in 2020 and you're talking millions like the players run the league. Come on now.

He's 23 years old and plays in a league where grown men pound each other into soil for amusement. Is it really that big of a deal?

Are you okay? Why do you have so much anger for players who are the ones actually risking themselves for entertainment and not the billionaires who hold fans over a barrel with things like psls whether the franchise is good or bad? On top of all that the same billionaires expect taxpayers to foot the bill for what amounts to a gigantic billion dollar amusement park.

It is possible to be a realist about the team and expect the worst without projecting your own inadequacies via awkward criticism of another mans physical appearance because of circumstances outside of his control. But apparently that is lost on some here.

Your sarcasm is appreciated. Communities such as this could benefit from a monthly or bimonthly reset of all counts to cut down on abrasive behavior and make something like negative rep unnecessary. It will never happen but it would be interesting to see.

Online anonymity has degraded dialogue and interactions so much to the point where it is reflected offline now too. You see the same kind of hostility and zero to one hundred conflicts on the roads. I pity folks here who have so much invested in their accounts with rep and post count. It is a form of addiction like many other things because humanity can make just about anything destructive given enough time.

There were some awkward questions in there trying to get him to speak poorly of the previous organization and the one about Teddy was such a big oof I about keeled over from the cringe.

The two unknown variables to consider right now no matter who the Panthers select at pick eight are what will ultimately happen with Taylor Moton long term and the looming void at center which is also really important. The Panthers offensive line is anything but one pick away or even just a few moves away. It will be a process spanning the next few seasons and that's if everything goes according to plan and without injuries.

I would be thrilled with Pitts. He would instantly improve our redzone woes.

Option 2 is the only likelihood. There is no way the staff and the front office want that awkwardness looming over the '21 season and if they have to cut their losses that is what will happen. It would seem the only fans who want him to stay are the same ones who were so heavily vested in him being the heir apparent to the former quarterback they detested for a decade. The Panthers swung for the fences and they missed spectacularly. Get over it.

This thread is a good example of people seeking to argue for the sake of arguing and unwilling to relent and admit they were even a little bit wrong. Sometimes we have a misinformed take just let it go and learn it's football not rocket science. There have been dozens upon dozens of discussions over the years agonizing over which third or fourth string receiver on our roster will finally have that moment and take another step. How many times did it actually happen? Now we finally have a talented wide receiver who looks like a #1 with subpar signal callers throwing to him and the most relevant topic you can talk about is how overrated he is? Where he is statistically compared to his peers in the league is irrelevant until we have a capable quarterback who can throw him the ball. Be thankful we have such a talent even worth discussing and stop focusing so hard on tearing him down because it's April and you're bored.
