that was weak...

What I would love to see... Trade back to the early teens for an additional 3rd and draft the best remaining DL. Of the guys we are looking at (Walker, Campbell, Stewart, Williams or Green) 1 or 2 of those will be available. Easy.

I still support the discussion to move on from TB5. Teddy was always planned to be the bridge QB. I dont think he ever could have amounted to much, and I think that is backed up by the fact that he went on to do nothing after we moved on from him. You can make a better argument that we made the right decision trade for Darnold OR Baker and the bad decision was to move on from either one of them.

Listen, I dont know anything about these players and I dont follow CFB at all.. but if he was never even questioned by the police then what are we talking about here?

I agree changing QB's and coaches every year will never result in success. That said.. Teddy was named "Teddy check down" for a reason.. Could we given him a better chance? Yes, but I dont think it was a bad decision to move on. Darnold: I supported trading what we did for a potential Franchise QB. The team failed him. The right coach in place and we would be miles a head of where we are today. Baker: I supported (and always will) taking a shot at a QB. The team failed him. We had 2 maybe 3 potential Franchise QB's on the roster but we didnt have a good team around them or a plan. Both have gone on to become a Franchise QB for other teams while we continued to rebuild. That said Young came into his own this last year. I anticipate a big step this year.

The biggest take away, and Im surprised that no one mentioned it is where they asked Tilis if the reason for the structure of the deals being mostly 2 year deals is because of BY potential contract and he said, "... we didnt think too much about Bryce and where he is, thats still TBD."

I would agree but Carolina is not often the team used for 'click bait'

I agree. I would be happy for the player but upset about the trade. We are NOT 1 player away.. we cannot afford this trade.

Panthers trade 8, 57, 74, 2026 2RD for Giants #3 overall and draft Abdul Carter. Thoughts?

Yeah its funny cause I watched this really pumped the breaks on Walker. But then I watched another mock and Walker is the 2nd coming of Parsons. So I dont know.. That said.. Mike Green anyone?

On the Blackmon bandwagon.

Im ok with this pick, but If Im the Panthers I would try to trade back a few picks as its assumed an o-line run is coming right after us. We might be able to trade back 3 picks, grade an additional 3rd round pick and still get our guy. I would be trilled for something like that.

Yeah he will be great.. but for a different team.

I know our coach EJ got a lot of hate last year but I think that the entire FO and owner knew that we were going to gut the defense to build the offence to see what we had in Young. That worked basically as expected. Terrible D but we found out that we can keep rolling with Young. I think that was clearly the discussion and understanding heading into last year and thats why EJ didnt get fired. IMO EJ is a good coach when he has players. I think we are going to see a dramatic turn around this year to the point that he once again, gets Head Coach interviews next offseason.
