Appears to be a liked individual by Vikes fans for his future potential....

TMJ + something to swap WRs? Jameson back with his 'Bama QB and TMJ in a change of scenery and not needing to be "the man" behind St. Brown and LaPorta.

Agree with the folks that say plays getting called in quicker, more motion and run-pass balance. Playing to Bryce’s strengths which is going up-tempo and move him/pocket around more and hopefully protect Bryce with personnel beyond just the 5 guys in the trenches.

Soon-to-be-31-year old WR that is unhappy on a team that is struggling to find its' footing and incompetent coaching staff. His contract numbers are crippling too... He doesn't make sense here at all and should be looking to go to a team that is on a playoff team on the brink of needing a Moss-esque addition to complete their offense. The 704 ain't it for multiple reasons.

I'm not trading Burns unless a Rams offer comes back around again. I'd prefer to find some help for him, especially at NT to occupy some of these double/triple teams he's facing. First guy I'm looking to trade is Jackson and rebuild this CB unit. I'm still holding out hope that Horn can bounce back, but finding a true CB in the draft to put across from him and/or insurance if he gets hurt again next year is priority 1 for me.

Yet the Niners gave more IIRC for Lance and are doing just fine. It’s not the assets we gave up, it’s the other pieces we’ve accumulated over the past three offseasons and molding of pwrsonnel that are not supporting the guy we drafted.

Yet another example of the issues with Carolina is not Bryce nor the selection, moving forward. OL inconsistency, no support at WR/RB until last week, vanilla playcalling and scheming, injuries all around that have exposed our depth and awful day 2 & 3 drafting. 9 will be just fine.

So is this 4 weeks including the bye week, which is only three playing weeks? If so, it’s not the end of the world with the lack of reps, but could be seeing a healthy influx of players coming back around week 10. We have three winnable games in front of us as well and could be 3-6 going into the home game against Dallas.

For me, I want a CB with our first pick and then throw the bag at Higgins or trade Chinn+ for Jameson Williams if he's available. We also just need to be better on day 2 and 3 of the draft. Some say we overdrafted Mingo, meanwhile the shifty speedy receivers like Dell, Downs and Nacua are thriving right now. To the OP, if there isn't a CB, TE, DT or EDGE worthy of the pick, I'd be happy with someone like Franklin, Worthy or Leggette. My hope is that one of Wiggins, Lassiter, or Burke is there for us. Boot 26 to the curb or at the least, nickel and insurance for Horn if he remains fragile. If Horn is back, we have two lockdown CBs.

Only guy Bryce trusts rn. I really was looking forward to the chemistry that 9 was forming with 15 and 17 during TC and preseason, but they have been a disappointment thus far. Hopefully Brown can unlock the code to get these other NPCs activated on gamedays.

I doubt ATL would do it within the NFCS but Pitts would be a solid get. Upgrades TE and helps with receiving issues. Also depends on price, but I want a TE with one of our first two picks next year, so if we can get him for a day 3 pick, I'd be onboard.

This sums it up for me. I really thought Evero would find a way to maximize Chinn's abililties. It's still early, but for a guy with that much potential, he seems like a square peg in a round hole in Carolina. I feel like the unit of Bell, Woods (once healthy) and Jones collectively can give us what Chinn does for 15-18 snaps/game. If we're looking at upcoming contracts, Chinn also seems like the odd man out if we have to cut ties with someone. He's a UFA this summer, so if he's not a franchise piece, and it fetches us a young WR, I'm good with the swap.

Random X account that throw poo against the wall for clicks. Keep it moving....

I've seen this on the board a few times now....why would Detroit do this? I haven't heard how his time has been with the Lions. Would they give him up already?

It's so unfair to critique Bryce through only 2 games. I know it's hard given Stroud's last two games (his first game was not good) and BY already injured. The good thing about the injury is that any QB would have sustained it and it's not a size/frame thing that caused it. 9 has shown enough in two games of "unteachable" things that "it" guys just have. The problematic issues are teachable/coachable. I have minimal concerns with his long-term trajectory. Trying to outrun NFL DL/LBs, not reading a well-disguised coverage by a vet S and DC, and misfiring to WRs that are not separating running route concepts properly is fixable. As the article mentioned the schemes, injuries and coaching staff hasn't done right by Young. Yes, CJ has had a similar situation, but I see flaws in Stroud's game that could get potentially exposed in time with more film on him.

CJ has looked the part so far. Very excited to see him ball out and prove the doubters wrong. I will say though, after three games, there's an awful lot of assumptions being made about our players, coaches, as well as other teams' players. I do believe Panthers fans will always have their eye peeking over at the Colts and Texans for the next few years with their scorecard in hand. I think all these rookies, as is usually the case, will have different journeys to their respective successes. Bryce's looks to be a bit further down the road then three games in. A lot can change from week-to-week and season-to-season.

I get the concerns, and if folks want to jump ship, go for it. There's a lot to be concerned with through 3 games. I will say, being at the game yesterday and arguably the best seats I've ever been gifted, that stadium at the ground level is insanely loud. I've been in the uppers there a few times and it sounds loud. Being a few rows up behind the Panther bench is a whole new appreication for the accoustic design at funneling noise onto the field level. I don't fault the OL at all for the false starts, miscommunication, etc....for this game. A second-year LT, a day-3 LG and journeymen at RG equates to a real challenging situation in the trenches. The tackles also have a hard time hearing since they are the farthest ones away from the QB/C exchange. We've stumbled hard out of the gates, our offensive schemes look like a JV team and we have no running game due to injuries on our OL. I think people will be singning a different song later in the year when Corbett is back, BY has some more games under his belt, and the offense finds their groove. Not having Corbett and BC is really, truly magnifying our weaknesses.

This. I find it really odd that Reich + Caldwell + Brown + Duce + McCown equates to this JV looking offense. It ain't Bryce that's the problem....these position players are not running good routes, sloppy technique, awful spacing and zero separation. Bryce is putting the ball on the money more often than not. These guys aren't getting to their spots and the OL is crumbling quickly. TBF, 9 hasn't been perfect and made hella rookie mistakes, but he is not the issue with this offense. Lots of positives that will only improve with reps, better WRs and a healthy OL.

Probably Kai Jones…..

What's the usual timeline for hammys for either end of the spectrum? Tightness/pulled vs. off the bone?

BY looked like a rookie in his first game. This offense is very technical and requires hitting on all cylinders. It's pace, rhythm, misdirection, lots of substitutions looking for mismatches, balancing run/pass and taking your shots sporadically. Folks can say that the offense today looked like the preseason, but I didn't notice that. 5 and 81 especially showing out which I don't recall. Part of keeping the playcalling under wraps all offseason means that we might not hit our stride game 1. Pretty ludicrous to think it would. Bryce just missed Mingo on that bomb, just missed a few other throws that only come with reps, chemistry and tape sessions. Young is a brilliant mind and will make the adjustments. I wasn't happy with the outcome today, but see an offense that will take time to fully open up. We def need Chark to figure out how to stay healthy. His lack of presence on O does change the formula for opposing defenses. Miles did look a step or two slower and they had him on a pitch count for sure. If we get Horn back, sign Burns and let Hill take over the slot, we will be in good shape. The NT position concerns me but we knew that coming in. Maybe we call Detroit to see if Buggs is available? Is Wormley a NT or DE?

Jesus, one game into a rookie's career on the road with a brand new coaching staff, personnel and injured deep threat. Not to make excuses because they did themselves in with three turnovers and too many penalties, but some of you guys need to step off the ledge.

I'd love to bring Tee back to the Carolinas and give BY a true WR1 at 25 years old in year two of his career. Higgins/Mingo would be nasty and curious if CIN can pay Higgins after just giving Burrow his due $$ and Chase on the horizon. In looking at cap space next offseason, am I reading this incorrectly? Looks like we don't have as much as we thought or would there be some tweaking to open up more space? I thought '24 was when we had an insane amount of dough available... That dead cap is pretty crazy to see on paper.

Can Kunkel please cover the Houston sports area and leave the 704 alone. He was spittin' speculation a couple of days ago and now trying to break news that pisses into his previous reports. Same with this assclown - "No suprise"....hahaha. Joe's been peppering pressers all week and using words like "murky" to describe the likelihood that he plays. Poor choice of words. Everything comes in threes, so I'm assuming Newton will slide in soon by calling our QB Vince or Steve or something along those lines. /endrant.
