Panthering

I can't believe he tried to Chris Webber us before halftime, those little things are infuriating to watch in Year 3. He loses control and panics presnap too often I hate it. Did well enough to get the game over the line second half but its so unnecessary because of his first half miscues.

The timeline where Maye is a Panther is so easily accessible. Tepper doesn’t even care either

He turned it around second half and was a part of winning the game. Easily buys him another week even though he has clear limitations and somehow doesn’t have command of the offense in year 3.

Great birthday present and it was a Gamecock delivering the goods today to boot!

How did you post these X posts embedded like that? I could only figure out just the link (as you can see from my post here, makes me feel old)

Well.... we knew he wasn't modern media trained

Acting like a complete clown and wonders why he doesn't get the start lol. Literally being a mime to media is hilarious though, just glad it's not on our team.

What's been shocking this season is how quiet the media is about Bryce this season. We saw an article come out from NYT this week but that's because it was a Patriots writer and this Tice clip is about all I could find. Most other convos from the bigger outlets were mostly focused on the Pats or the Panthers as a whole.

And what should that tell you? He is terrible and not ready. The list of QBs I would not welcome to Carolina is so small but Shedeur is one of them.

I mean, it's a start. Guy was somehow worse than a replacement level player. Straight up fired after they reviewed tape, that's rough for him.

Trevin & CSW are not our two worst defenders, that's just incorrect. Brooks & XL picks were terrible I agree, people dragged it at the time too. I agree with the rest, he tried to sign for pass rush but that isn't just available in FA and did what he could with O-line which I think was fine. Morgan trading for Mike Jackson was quite good, and I like his 2025 draft class so far. Robert Hunt getting hurt early in the season pretty much ruined any hope, the team won't be making any reasonable progress with him out and the QB being what he is.

My early take is that it's going to be extremely hard to break into the top 3. We are bad, but Titans, Jets, Saints are horrid.

Mostly revolves around that it can be worse from a GM perspective, and he's done a respectable job here. 2024 FA draft is pretty solid, 2024 draft n/a but trending towards bust with those first two picks, 2025 too early.

The harshest path is: Fire all coaching staff, hope to hire competent HC -- will John Haurbaugh be available? Keep Dan Morgan? I've liked him, been an upgrade on Fitterer even though he's made mistakes Trade back in the draft unless there's a can't miss prospect available, draft as well as you can and do not give up any draft picks Draft a QB in round 2/3 and sign a QB with NFL starting experience Apologize to the fans for trotting out Nick Scott and Rozebum this season, promise it will never happen again Get rid of Bryce Young, doesn't matter how you do it, but just turn the page there for everyone's sake That's really it, the only way out is through! Really comes down to drafting and not getting impatient which might be hard for Tepper. There's talent here, it's just being dragged down by some of the worst football players I've ever seen don a Panthers uniform, and that's mostly Teppers fault because he thought he was smarter than everyone else when he bought the team.

They play afraid because they know that one mistake will doom the entire game due to the QB/coaching/everything. You can't play like that!

Wow Rozebum.... just wow. What a horrible signing & player and same goes to Trevin Wallace. That blew up in Morgan's face, not sure what Evero is supposed to do with those two.

That would be the nail in the coffin for me following this team for the year. If you thought the discourse around Bryce was bad.... my god the Shedeur stuff is 1000x worse. Don't think he's any good anyways and don't like how he handles himself at all.

I'm the wrong guy to ask this since I'm an SC grad so I'd be overjoyed at Sellers......... but he's definitely not an NFL level passer right now. He's got NFL size, NFL arm strength, NFL elusiveness, NFL scrambling, but I would not call him a polished passer who can win from the pocket. But at least he has those NFL traits unlike some guy on this roster.

Canales needs to put on his big boy pants again and probably bench Bryce at some point this season. I gave him credit for that last season and it worked, but he's going to lose the locker room again if he keeps trotting BY9 out there. I don't think anyone in the building or the fans can really take this anymore, it'll cost him his job. I think Canales has a ton of issues that mostly come down to getting this HC role too early in his career. But I want some continuity and I want to see him with a different QB, one that's actually NFL starter level.

Yeah it’s been said but I wouldn’t be surprised if none of his teammates really trust the guy that much so there isn’t much fight for him. I really don’t see too much leadership from BY9 that I like or gravitate towards.

I do wonder how much better it’ll look with a different QB in there. I think Bryce drags everyone down, then the supporting cast around him isn’t good enough to pick up any of the slack so it becomes a cluster real quick.

Thank god they are playing the young guys more, something to look forward to this season and I'm liking the early returns. They will still have weaknesses but it'll be better than last year at least.

incapable of having any other thoughts
