To be fair, that was a sick move by Bijan.

Which, that’s exactly what we should want him to be just like Proehl. But with this room, he’s having to try and be that 1/2 guy and he’s just not that anymore. @CRA

I mean, nobody really does but I will say in the last decade when the panthers look like poo in preseason they generally look like poo when the season starts.

The other person is Calvin Ridley… He was available for nothing, he looked phenomenal today. Why didn’t we snag him off his couch?

I was really really hoping Thielen would be our Next Proehl and Hurt our next Olsen. Thought Mingo might be sneaky fast and TMJ just needed his chance. It’s too early to say all of that isn’t possible but today was disheartening

Man, that’s a great question. Not a fan of Reich’s play calling. Even in preseason when he handed it off to the other guy things looked way more lively.

I thought he looked pretty good, all things considered. He got absolutely zero help from the WR group. Nobody could get open. Everyone is slow. Bryce gets some actual WRs and he’s going to do great.

Oh, I watched. But also foolishly took them at their word that they were being “vanilla” during preseason.

That’s true. But it seems like all our receives have cement in their shoes. look around the league and every other team seems to have stacked WRs that constantly get separation.

At the end, the wheels fell off everywhere. But the entire game it didn’t seem like anyone was able to beat their man. Every ball was being contested to some degree. It’s like we have a team full of #3 receivers. I don’t know how we’re going to do it but we need to find some speed or we’re toast.

Does anyone have any idea why the hell there are never any white jerseys available?

I am so fuging ready for this to be over.

This will not end well. Only here for the responses.

You and @Shocker must have gotten a lot of participation trophies growing up.

You must be for thinking it went down that way. Cam put this team on his back and dragged it all the way to the finish line that year in spite of the coaches. Not only that, but they couldn't even put together an original game plan for the Super Bowl!! Cam made Ron Rivera relevant, not the other way around. He would have been fired 2 seasons into his stint here if it wasn't for Cam making poo happen out of nothing on his own. Ron is probably a great guy, but he has been and always will be a terrible coach.

Sure, there is some validity to that. However, not once during Rhule's tenure did I feel any optimism whatsoever during the offseason. All these moves don't necessarily translate to wins when it matters, but that being said, the fact they are doing a complete overhaul like this shows they aren't ok with the mediocrity (at best) that has been put on display the last few years which has been one of my biggest pain points. They see the issues we all see and are doing everything they can to address them in one year. ... and that puts us 6 years ahead of Jay Z's timeline.

Man, the way Fitt has navigated this offseason is a masterclass in how to GM in the NFL. Dude literally has pulled this team out of the depths of Rhule hell in one offseason and put us in the drivers seat for the QB of our choice. I could not be happier with how this has all unfolded. Between a real NFL staff and Fitt, the comparison to Rhule and co is staggering. This should put the entire league on notice when it comes to bringing in any hyped up college coach.

I don’t understand your arguments at all. What has ANY of those players done to take us to the playoffs? Nothing. Do you not understand how FA works? The other draft picks? For the millionth time - we go NOWHERE without a franchise QB. About time we were aggressive about it.

This is a HUGE win for us. Let’s be honest - Fields hasn’t passed the eye test thus far as a franchise QB and Moore isn’t a true #1. Now we get a real franchise QB and offloaded our most underachieving WR in one move. Anyone who’s upset about this forgets that you go absolutely nowhere in this league without a legit franchise QB

Ya know, looking at that makes me reaaaallllly wish we had those potential 3 extra first round picks for Burns and Moore.

Which we 1000000% are idiots for not taking.

Nah, not a chance. No way in hell is Reich rolling out there next year with Sam hanging around. Cleanse our souls of this, panthers

Jesus Christ on a motorbike, NEVER EVER SHOULD THAT GUY BE IN A PANTHERS JERSEY AGAIN

No, you’re not. In any way, shape, or form.

You’re right, we should probably just continue drafting DT and CB until the correct retread gets let go and we will, undoubtedly turn him into the next Tom Brady. Genius brain over there.
