Shorten the list to two (or three) QBs and it does that job. 

It’s insane. Some would have never stayed regardless, but the talent sieve is real. 
 

Baker, Sam, Luvu, Butker, Reddick, CMC, DJ, Joe Brady. I’m sure there’s more, but that’s all I can come up with right now.

I sincerely hope Coker isn’t next. Just imagine him going somewhere like the Patriots or Saints.

They already let him walk once lol

The list of ones this org let walk in just the last few years is staggeringly depressing. 

Intelligent, big, strong receivers who run good routes, know how to get open, catch damn near every ball thrown their way and come up clutch in big moments don’t sign for cheap and barring injury have very long and successful NFL careers. I sincerely hope Dan and co recognize what they have. 

Coker is going to get PAID. Anyone thinking discount based on the fact that he was undrafted is living in fantasy land. He delivered a Smitty-esq performance in the biggest game this franchise has played in a decade. He has to be priority #1.

No he wasn’t but that last stretch with Wilks, you could see that he was close on a lot of stuff. At least I thought so. 

Agreed.

In Dan I trust. 
 

3 of the top 6 were NFC South teams. The South may yet rise again in the not so distant future. 

Looks like a good recipe for wins that are almost exclusively always nail biters. 

If Tepp did not like and still believe in BY, BY would be gone… AND/OR it was a Tepper pick the entire time and he does not want to look like the neophyte he is. Tepper has shown 0 reservations on canning people he doesn’t believe in, but yet BY still remains?  

 There was no way any legitimate QB competition would be televised for Panthers Nation to see. Imagine the optics:  Bryce comes out the first series or 2, throws his usual ducks against the first string D. Next QB comes in and doesn’t necessarily look great, but he connects on a few 30 yard lasers. The team knew that Dalton would pose no threat so he was allowed to stay. 

Tepp can close training camp to the public, he can control the propaganda machine and ‘media’ coverage, but he can’t control the televised games where the 2nd and 3rd string QBs play almost the entire time. 

 Always very shaky in blitz pickup. VERY few RBs are worth giving big contracts to, and he’s not the one. 

For a Panthers team to not completely poo the bed in a big nationally televised playoff game feels unnatural. For them to turn it around  when everything was going wrong against the Rams in a nationally televised playoff game… that’s sorcery. 

And here I am, EXACTLY where I left off after the Falcons game to end last season with BY. 

What he brings to this offense should be obvious to everyone, hopefully. Without him tonight is a laugher. 

Exclusive rights free agent through 2026.

How much $ is this dude going to cost?

I’ll continue to say it.

There is talent on this team. 

Undrafted FA y’all. 

Beer tastes different when you take the lead 

F-in STUD!!!

You can see Greg trying HARD to hold back a smile. 
 

come on boys. 

Coker is a F-in stud

Yeah I’m about to go clean out my garage now. 

Can’t say the crowd isn’t up for the game. They sound NICE. 

‘All purpose’ ? Has that always been a thing or did they invent a spot to avoid a CMC snub?

For our arch rival that we’ve embarrassed as of late to do us a solid…. What a weird course of events. 

They lack field generals.

I watched Luke highlights last night. My God how far we’ve fallen. He was a cheat code. He ran the defense, make no mistake. 

Offense had Greg. He knew everybody’s assignments and made sure everything was straight before the huddle was broken.

Now, there’s none of that. Not even close. They frequently look like they don’t even know the play book. Students of the game? I don’t see it. The most cerebral players are an UDFA receiver they hit lotto on and a second round rookie edge.

Still desperate for a field general. 

He really impressed last night. Accurate. Lightning release and throws a ball that 100% passes the eye test. He drastically upped his draft stock showing out like he did on the biggest stage in college football. 

Burns quit on his team, full stop. Burns was and continues to be a liability in the run. 
 

JC has never looked this bad before the concussion. He always was a very solid tackler, from what I remember.  I’ll take the overall body of his work over his current down stretch. I’ve never had to question his heart. The FO has royally screwed up roster management in many other deals but retaining Horn continues to be the right move. He will be back to form next season.
