I have no idea how this guy with such an atrocious record is still regarded as some of draft guru.

Does he look like he's learning? What was it, two games ago when they showed a graphic that we had -6 yards right before half?

It honestly wouldn't be the worst idea to hold him out of this one. But you do run the risk of the offense looking semi-competent again with Dalton which would introduce some uncomfortable truths.

There is zero chance we take a QB high this year after having just traded a haul to draft Bryce. We need to be looking at 2025 QBs. Likely gonna be another long year next year. If we had a 1st rounder then maybe we do what the Cardinals did with Josh Rosen and trade Bryce for whatever we could get and move on but we don't.

Blackshear is averaging 2.7ypc this season and 3.1ypc on his career. I like him as a returner, but he hasn't done much at all as a RB. He has 241 total yards from scrimmage on his career. Carter had over 1600 in his first two seasons prior to them simply stopping using him this year.

Trent Williams and Tyreek Hill aren't available, so fug it. Let's not do anything to attempt to improve and let's just sit around and bemoan that Trent Williams and Tyreek Hill aren't available. Hell, it sounds like you're ready for a job with the Panthers!

I wasn't as excited about Tepper as a lot of folks were but holy poo I would've never dreamed it would be this bad.

There's really not even a close second. We're late stage Al Davis level dysfunction.

The turnovers and how long he holds the ball are big concerns. Huge concerns. He also has not played well against the few decent defenses he has faced. He's still a helluva prospect, don't get me wrong. But he's nowhere near a slam dunk and definitely not some generational type prosect. I think he's boom or bust. He's either gonna be great or he's just not gonna translate at all. I don't see a whole lot of room for him just being decent. I struggle to see him as a Trevor Lawrence type. Disappointing for where he was picked and what he was hyped to be but still decent. Not great, not disastrous, just kind of a mid-level starter type.

And Mac Jones sucks. Everyone just got caught up in him being a super processor Tom Brady heir. Nope.

Rivera's indifference toward OL really is pretty astonishing. It 100% followed him to Washington so he likely wasn't a victim of poor OL roster management here. He was probably the one begging for resources to be spent elsewhere.

Did you miss the "everyone gets it wrong on occasion" part?

I don't give a damn about the Commanders. I've just always been a fan of Howell since his freshman year. The dude has it. No one cares about adding a single win this year but we should be trying to get a little bit better overall whenever and wherever we can. No one is trying to say we're going to become contenders with a waiver wire signing.

So brutal. Imagine if Stroud ends up being the future HOFer he looks like and then the Bears draft a future HOFer next year, not to mention Howell lighting it up in Washington after we picked Corral over him and here we sit the newly crowned biggest suckers in sports history.

Sir, the most Panthers thing ever is to hand the #1 overall pick to the Bears after trading an absolute haul to get #1 overall from them last year.

It's not about this year. It's about trying to build a better roster moving forward. I was hoping he'd end up in Washington honestly. He fits them to a tee. Damn Arizona.

He's a JAG who can really catch the ball and run after the catch. That fits what we're trying to do on offense better than anyone we currently have.

I can't see him coming here. No way he'd be interested in being micromanaged by Tepper. But those two egos colliding would be must watch TV.

Honestly he's probably better than anyone we currently have on the roster. Roughly equal to Chuba as a runner and a lot better as a receiver.

I knew Washington would be putting in a claim. IMO that was basically a foregone conclusion. Former Howell college teammate who fits their offense better than anyone currently on their roster. Hate it didn't work out for them.

You can call it "rich guy hate" if you want but all NFL owners are absurdly wealthy. It's about having the worst record in the NFL and appearing completely clueless.

He acts like a guy getting paid by Carolina. It always felt to me like he got caught up in Bryce getting constantly criticized for his size and he took that personally. When I watched Bryce on college I saw a great college QB with very marginal NFL physical talent. I really didn't want him but ultimately let the weight of everyone else's opinions make me okay with him assuming that I'm probably wrong if all these other people don't have concerns about what looks very obvious to me I still thought the pick should've come down to Richardson vs. Stroud.

Smitty generally has pretty good takes on WR prospects. Everyone gets it wrong on occasion. But he really has just seemed like a Panthers mouthpiece since Tepper took over. Those are probably some really nice under the table PR checks he's cashing.

I've said it before. We've been stuck in a repeating cycle since Tepper took ownership. He proudly announces a bold move that per himself was either his idea or an idea that he was heavily involved in. A poo show ensues. He disappears into the background to avoid the public embarrassment. He emerges to proudly announce a bold move that was either his idea or an idea that he was heavily involved in. A poo show ensues. He disappears into the background to avoid the public embarrassment. We're in the "disappears into the background to avoid the public embarrassment" phase of the cycle currently but it won't be long before we have another proud announcement.

Zero signs to point to that. I mean, she's literally getting on the phone during the draft to make trade deals.
