Cam himself chose Bryce Young out of this years QB class. Just saying.

He's a 22 year old starting left tackle. What you hope to see is a solid amount of good with some not so good sprinkled in because he's going to take his lumps. You either believe he will put in the work or you don't it's that simple.

Cowherd is the kiss of death. If he's off the Panthers wagon that's the best news I've heard so far today.

The "if we're down to QB3 who cares the season is over anyway" logic is fine from the perspective of a fan. But if it happens it will be in large part due to the oline which means someone making the decisions is going to be facing some serious heat. And honestly knowing how these things go for the Panthers I wouldn't be surprised if Corral ends up on a contender and looks competent when needed. Then we'll see the heel turn and people saying why did we trade/cut him we're so stupid. It's predictable.

I thought it was known some months back we would listen to offers if there were any. There's really no incentive to move him this season. One could argue a roster spot but if something happens and Bryce Young misses any time is anyone here going to give a fug about an extra roster spot if they're forced to watch Andy Dalton throw the football?

I hope he works out bc his failure means more misery for us. But the guy definitely has his rabid clique of fans here that are much in the same mold of past Hurney supporters and Gettleman supporters. Those guys were ultimately terrible but at least had a winning season to backup the "don't you dare slander him" responses. We're still waiting for the first one with Scott at the helm.

Right. Unfortunately we can't turn off injuries like Madden. I try to laugh all this off. I obviously do not want to see anyone hurt and want Chark back as soon as he's able. But this is just the consistent luck of our Panthers. We knew what we were buying though it was a risky signing and I said so at the time.

Calling folks dumb doesn't change our situation or the decisions that were made which led us to this point by management aka Fitterer. But go off king.

It's all about hot takes and clicks. So far I like the pick of Young based on the abilities he has. The issue is what we gave up and fielding a talented offense around him now after trading away those assets.

Both Chark and Shenault have an injury history it's why both their former teams moved on despite the talent they possess. TMJ is also perpetually banged up. Thielen our #1 is no spring chicken either. Unfortunately we backed ourselves into this corner. It's on Fitterer. Honestly he's very overrated here. Nice guy. Made a few nice picks and moves here and there. But very much unproven. Hopefully this doesn't bite us in the booty and hinder the development of the #1 pick we traded significant assets to draft.

Really we could find someone off the street to replicate his "performance".

Post of the day right here

I don't agree with all the panic but I'm not going to act like the Panthers are some powerhouse consistent contender that has earned the benefit of the doubt either.

7 winning seasons in 28 years. Talking down to fans who've lived it and know what mediocre football looks like isn't going to move the needle either.

Most people had high expectations for Icky as a top ten pick. He was asset more often than not. Generally the thorn for us has been interior pressure. I don't expect that to drastically change.

Annnnd there's the poo reaction

After everything that's transpired the last several months should we be hyperfocused on another QB's frame and weight

This might come as a surprise to you but there is a happy medium between paying one RB the most expensive contract in the league at his position with no starting QB in place and fielding a backfield with sensible contracts or rookies.

Better than the year before no doubt. But that was a very low bar let's be honest. And folks here were borderline hyping up our OL as a fringe top 10 unit in the offseason. I knew better than to join that. I hope to be pleasantly surprised as the season progresses. But I'll be prepared for inconsistency I'm a Panthers fan.

Man you know I am no Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield fan but the run game helped out the oline a great deal last season and when that wasn't there those guys took some big hits.

If we don't think he's worth giving reps to cut him loose. We've been getting eyes on him in camp too supposedly. The RB position is one where you can find a stud here and there much easier than some others. I just don't want to reach the midway point in the season and be looking back thinking why didn't we do more. I assume you feel the same. With that in mind at bare minimum we should be looking at other teams cuts and possibly even signing someone like Fournette as others have mentioned. If we had a veteran QB I would be a little less concerned about this but with a rookie and a sketchy oline we need to put as much support and depth around this kid as possible.

I'm assuming this is heavy sarcasm. The OL is the position group that's been holding this team back for years. I'd love to see a total 180 and the oline become a strength for us for years to come. But it's been more of the same thus far. Best thing to do is prepare for some level of disappointment there.

Nobody develops from the sideline.

Hmm seems like a waste of his and our time then. It would be nice to keep churning the position group given our lead back is nursing a groin injury which can linger.
