To be fair, Brady’s combine pic was not exactly....athletic now granted, he does look like a beer and a biscuit over the line there

I understand what you are saying but I disagree a d the article starts with 2018, not 2020 decisions coaches make during in game situations, end of half, end of game, sitting on leads, defensive alignments, not making adjustments, play heavily on the outcomes coaches also are part of personnel decisions Rhule infuriates me because he had to know what Bridgewater was and if he didn’t, god help us. I get Brady wanting his security blanket but the answer should have been ‘no’ rivera, knowing Cam was damaged, had zero backup qb plan it’s not like these things just happen there was either willful ignorance or poor planing or poor decision making in either case

That falls highly on coaching in the Nfl

Bingo mine as well I was wrong about Justin Herbert and that’s who we should have moved up one spot to get and while I do not believe Jones is close to Herbert in any category, he us going to be the picK if things fall as predicted the panthers May trade back two or three doors to get him and get more picks Rhule scares me, after all Teddy would not have been here if Rhule didn’t approve and then there us the Dwayne Haskins futures offer

Honestly. I spend a lot of time in CA and I watch the Rams a d chargers more than I want to...the guy is terrible with pressure...deer in the head lights. Better arm than Teddy, slightly more mobile but the same guy no thanks

It’s the Panther way...kinda like talking about culture and offering a futures contract to Haskins there are ways to lose without looking like it. All teams do it to rest their players before the playoffs New Orleans masters of it its over and done. Who knows, we might be better off

Yes...and Rhule is coaching him. Frightening

I’m not big on Wilson but to be fair, he can’t catch it too. His starting WRs and starting running back were out too as I recall plus traveling cross country. Trying to say it was a team failure not just a Zack failure I watched all his games. My concern is more the talent he played against. He isn’t going to have all day and open throwing lanes I. The NFL he is smart. He has quick feet. Durability, who knows. Everyone thought Luck a d Cam would last a lot longer than they did

I have this feeling if none of the QBs the Panthers like are there, that they will trade down to mid range in the first. in addition to the new first RD, they get a second and a third they will then Take, god forbid, Jones, and then all bets are off after that to try and fill holes I could see them taking the LT at 8 but that’s it I don’t see a trade up and I don’t see a veteran I wish I did but it takes trade value, cap considerations, contract considerations and as the saying goes, ‘two to tango’. I do not think those veterans prefer Charlotte time will tell. I wish to god, Bridgewater had never come here but he did a d here we are

This. Shula didn’t have a play under 60 seconds unless it was Cam running

...or the ‘culture’ honestly, it feels like we have a child coaching the team compared to Payton and Arian’s

Wish there was a ‘laugh out loud’ emoji. It’s all about the ‘culture’ right Matt...lol

You know. That little bit of comedy really pissed me off. I can’t picture a true competitor doing that....at all petty I know

The concerning part is that anyone in the Panthers org thought they WERE getting something sweet baby Jesus, everyone knew this well...except a few optimistic, desperate souls

Matt is pretty ingrained in the Detroit area, much like Newton here, not sure uprooting his family would be in his plans it would be the smart move for a team with so many holes remember, the Colts are also in the QB market now...dangling a number 8 pick might get a slew of draft picks from them, yes I know they are lower, I’m just pointing out that the Colts might want to trade up with the Panthers or Bengals or Dolphins as well

As much as I want a new, young Qb or Watson, the smart thing to do is to pickup a Matt Stafford and use draft picks to build the team, if the Panthers want to compete right away if they don’t, then draft best rookie qb available to them at 8 and let the pick spot behind Bridgewater very ironic as wasn’t it Brady who wanted Bridgewater here...to me if true he is just as suspect as Teddy. People don’t like to hear that but his evaluation of Teddy was seriously flawed. after watching the playoff games, the Panthers are very far off from that circle

I read it...particularly Fowler they do not have a paywall on the Panthers / Sports that I have seen

What makes anyone think Deshaun would want to come here? Newton was like a big brother to Deshaun and the Panthers treatment of star players has been very questionable

You aren’t concerned about his level of competition? BYUs schedule was poor this year

What if, the medical and epidemiologists simply now more than then and there are more possible therapies ie assisting breathing by placing on stomach, some steroid use, remdasvir (sp) using a different type of oxygenation than a ventilator you are making quite a leap on herd mentality when that has not been proven yet with this virus Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn’t

I am aware of it and my opinion on that is if a GM thinks enough of a player to use it and apply it, then that GM lives with it. There other categories that could have been used. this move cost a lot more than just Norman himself. The Panther GM caused a loss of depth that he could have used. That the team could have used. its water over the bridge now. Well over it he is the NFL Executive of the year I expect more frankly. Maybe that's the issue for me. I expect with his experience to handle it to benefit the Panthers and I really struggle with losing an all pro and drafting three players in a position that as he himself says, doesn't matter much in the Panthers scheme

Last year is over. Glad for the wins some could have gone another way a year is a lifetime in the young man's game of pro football Rosters have to turn over frequently we all know this both the Falcons and broncos gave the blueprint on the panthers and also the inability of the panthers' OC to do a quicker offensive play selection to neutralize that rush either we don't have it or we can't execute it I seem to recall gettleman saying cornerback isn't that important in our scheme. Th e front seven is...quite an epiphany to draft 3 corners don't you think just my opinion not arguing with anyone there were players there to make numerous positions better instead we got nothing this year for Norman we focused on one position group to the extreme and stayed pat with positions that needed an upgrade i really feel that Super Bowl should have been a wake up call on the coaching staff and some players instead it's the 'so glad to have been there ' platitudes Will kelvin make difference maybe Stewart another year older as is Khalil dont get it I'm not paid to get it just my observation i just pay to watch them play

Great. But that is next year compensatory

I dont really care who he drafted or what position they are or how they are ranked by some sports reporter Four questions worth asking 1. How does a GM let an All Pro walk and get nothing? Nada. Zero. Zip an additional second or third round pick could have made a lot of difference this year 2. How did anything done during this draft make the Panthers one bit better against premier defenses Seems to me the defensive backfield wasn't the reason for that super bowl loss or the beating Newton took from Atlanta Speed against slow tackles, kills 3. Aging and injury prone RB with third stringers behind them and an aging center in constract year 4 edge rushers If he finds a replacement for Norman, good for him but giving away an All Pro and getting nothing for it, not smart and then the ancillary impact of wasting not two but three draft picks to fill the void. This offense needs upgrades. Gettlemen would do well to consider Newton's replacement in two years as his body can't take the beating he is getting

Two things I have observed over the years of watching pro football 1. It is a young man's game for the most part 2 sentimentality doesn't win games
