But all in all? Honestly, I'm happy for CMC. Get after it, buddy.

I honestly don't care how the production comes. Just give me production. Jefferson and Chase are probably the two best WRs in the NFL currently and they're playing more and more in the slot.

I got drug on here for telling people to not be surprised if CMC suddenly becomes much more durable if he's traded to a contender. Sons of former players tend to be considerably smarter about how they manage their career. They have their dad who has been there and done that in their ear.

Reich really does need to give up play calling. It's a win/win for him in PR. If he does and it works then he swallowed his pride and did what's best for the team. That's what you want a HC to do. If he does and Bryce still looks the same then it wasn't his play calling that was the issue to begin with. If Bryce is "Kill! Kill! Kill!"ing the offense into bad plays then at some point you have to take away his audible toy and force him to run the play that's called. There's options available but we can't just keep doing the same thing and blindly hoping it'll just magically get better.

Feel free to put me on ignore. But don't expect to go on a victim tour accusing me of attacking you personally with no critique back. If you can't handle disagreement maybe a place to exchange ideas isn't a good place for you. Sorry if you take that as a personal attack but it honestly feels to me like just pointing out basic reality.

See.

I have no idea what's going on but everyone within the Panthers organization was giving off the vibe that Bryce was way ahead of where anyone expected him to be and we treated preseason as such. We treated preseason like we were a vet team expected to make a SB run. Everything seemed super confident even though we looked pretty terrible. No big deal many said. "LOL! It's preseason!" we heard over and over. Then the regular season arrived and it's looked like a continuation of preseason. At some point some reality has to start sinking in.

This. How many times is he going to have to get involved in the football decisions and fug it up to learn? And we know he's involved because he is all about bragging about his personal involvement when these decisions are announced and then disappears from the public eye when things start going to poo only to reappear in the future to once again brag about his personal involvement in this new big splash move.

I bet there aren't any Texans fans reciting the "only three games" mantra. Well, four on their case. But still.

I was onboard with trading CMC. We didn't need a huge money RB and we did need roster building assets and he was one of our few players we could trade for premium assets. We just have a helluva trend of turning gold into coal. The trade? Good. What we did with the assets acquired? Trash.

We have to grade on a serious curve. For Bryce through three games, this was an insane awesome throw. If you watch most other NFL QBs this throw just doesn't stand out.

Hell no to Adams. The last thing this team needs to be doing right now is trading future assets for a 30 year old bandaid.

I'm talking about your rationale on this matter. That's all. I have no issues with you personally. I just think your really want to believe all is well and you're doing whatever you can to convince yourself of it. That doesn't mean that I have an issue with you personally. We all have biases. You're being ridiculously sensitive about a difference of opinion on football.

I just disagree with you, that's all. You don't have to take it personally because I don't mean it personally. It's okay for people to have different takes. There would be no point in discussion if everyone agreed.

And I've shared mine. I honestly think you're deluding yourself and desperately trying to find a play here and there and convince yourself that a pretty ordinary play is special instead of looking at the full picture and not grading on a curve trying to find something positive.

I'm just calling it like I see it same as you. Sorry, I'm just seeing very little positive and I'm not going to twist and turn to try to convince myself otherwise. You're free to disagree and free to share your own takes. That's how this whole thing works.

If you can't or refuse to see the difference I can't help you.

Why don't you just leave? If we're ball idiots and all you're gonna do is complain about other people posting just leave. I hate to tell you, but when you engage with other people you will sometimes encounter differing opinions.

The one I distinctly recall was the ball from our opponents' goal line to an open streaking Mingo. It should've been a 99 yard TD but it was probably only thrown about 20 yards past the LOS.

That dude is not making any cases. Keep being positive. I don't agree but I legitimately appreciate it different takes. Feel free to use the ignore feature on the forum if you need.

This. Unless you're Andy Reid let your OC do his job.

Do you have anything to add to a conversation or are you just going to continue to complain about other people posting?

I'll love to be wrong. All I can go off of is what I'm seeing though. I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and act like everything is just fine. But you do you.

I don't know.

Yeah, when Bryce tried to throw downfield last game to a receiver who was held and slowed down and the ball still came up horrible short that was super confidence inspiring. Receivers flailing into trailing DBs and getting automatic flags on underthrown deep balls is becoming commonplace in today's NFL. Maybe that needs to become our deep threat strategy.
