I cannot stand the Patriots or Brady but you are correct about this.

Going on likely 8 consecutive losing seasons under the Tepper's and there are people who look to their fellow fans as the first source of their problems instead of correctly assessing the team for what it is and has been. Sounds like a cult

Throwing a wounded duck directly toward three defenders is never a good thing at any level as a QB. I assure you there are very few people outside of the small circle of delusional echo chamber fans here who actually think Bryce Young looked competent at any point against the Texans on Saturday.

When Sam Darnold threw into triple coverage he was regarded as lacking the necessary football IQ to be a quarterback. When Bryce throws into triple coverage he's actually secretly brilliant. And you guys wonder why discourse here is in the state it's in

Oh cry me a river. David Tepper and 8 consecutive losing seasons have killed the fanbase and this site more than anything else.

No complaints here. I'll take anything over the current 2nd and 3rd string. But that's the state of things. It's so pitiful we've got folks basically eating each other here. If you aren't in lockstep with their delusional takes about this offense actually not being dogshit they're on you like a zombie in the walking dead. It's hard times.

There's a photo of Bryce Young standing next to Kyler Murray. Our guy is not 5'10 just being factual. At this point we just needed a QB. I feel like he will understand the assignment. Don't suck and don't get hurt.

The Texans are out here trading off young WR's and still rolling along. Meanwhile we're over here rationalizing two putrid preseason outings

I see absolutely no logic with trying to link the 2011 rookie of the year with this offense and a third year QB who is trying to shake off one of the five worst rookie seasons in decades. The only purpose it serves is to make someone feel better. If that's what you want great but it does not align with reality right now.

It was against backups let's be real. Oh good god man come on. Cam Newton is the only MVP in franchise history and was a culture changer. Nobody on this team has the clout to get the benefit of the doubt like that. Not yet at least.

You won't get much sense from some of the extremist optimists here. They'll spam poo reactions and flail and then slink away when we start losing.

They actually didn't look very good in that drive against the Bills. I can link you to the gameday thread on that one and there is one poster who got inundated with poo reactions for stating so and he ended up being right. It might not be the case for most of the NFL but for our Panthers unfortunately their flaws in preseason have absolutely carried over to the regular season as of late. I don't like it either but that's us right now.

He's 6'3 214. I mean if people can wonder aloud if 5'9 190 pound Bryce Young will have 15 rushing touchdowns and not even consider he might get laid out sooner or later idk why anyone would be worried about this UDFA. We brought him in as a passer either way. And if you look at the one game he played in the NFL with the Rams three years ago he was anything but efficient in that area. 100 yards 1 TD 2 INT's 56% completion 44 rushing yards. However it looks like he's put in some work since then. At least he's still fairly young and has been through some adversity to prepare him for this team. That's about all we can really say.

We had less than 100 total yards for most of the Texans game and finished with a whopping three points. There's a whole lot of real estate between that and 300 yards 5 TD's. People just want to see progression of any kind. And since when is throwing into triple coverage under any circumstances something you want your starting QB doing especially one entering a pivotal prove it season? The throw to TMac was high and on the QB. JT had a bad drop. Then Bryce had a moment where he looked completely lost fleeing the pocket and basically sacked himself. Not really anything to sugarcoat from this one.

Johnson was a TE for two of his 4 years in college. As a DE/OLB he had 8 sacks in the other 2 years. But for this I'm speaking strictly in terms of the jump to the NFL. Jarrett never even cracked 200 receiving yards in a single season. Only scored one touchdown in his career. DJ Johnson has one half sack in two seasons. They both have had horribad NFL careers despite their physical talent. That's all I'm saying.

Of course he's up there but in fairness even colossal bust Everette Brown at 22 years old had 6 sacks in his first two seasons. DJ Johnson at 26 years old has one half sack in two seasons.

Yeah I don't know why they would want Wonnum or Mays regardless. As others have said. The cupboards here are bare. And we aren't about to give up one of the very few legit young players we have. The fact our name is even in this takes me back to hard times with Fitterer.

I agree with you about fragile egos. But it is outside the realm of possibility. If we wanted him we should have drafted him. He was falling. Now instead we get to see if we've found our new PJ Walker...

For us it's stupid. He's cheapish right now and we have not drafted a center in years. We had the chance but took an injured RB. It would be stupid to make what is already looking shaky but not terrible a terrible situation and then back ourselves into a situation of being desperate for a center next year and probably drafting a bust. I mean it's just how this team operates unfortunately.

That drop off is coming though. He's 31 in a few months. Even someone like Aaron Donald who is now 34 you look at his last two seasons at 31 and 32 years old. 5 sacks and 8 sacks after averaging 13 for 3 consecutive seasons and one 20 sack season before that previously. Father time awaits us all.

Giving up Cade Mays would be comically stupid given our depth at center and Corbett's injury history.

Well it's about the best we could hope for given the situation the front office has put themselves in. Get him out there and let it rip and see what happens.

If a first is even on the table for our FO we're cooked for the foreseeable future boys.

This guy is the Dwayne Jarrett of Panthers pass rushers. Thanks Evero.
