There is no easy fix for this.

Going to PJ won't fix it.  

Signing some midlevel FA won't fix it.

You have to draft a guy and give him time to develop or sell the farm for an established guy.

The worst part is you can't force it.  We might not be in position to draft a guy you actually like next year or a quality FA QB might not come available.  Maybe we have to wait 2 years.  

In the meantime you build the rest of your roster without wasting resources on players that won't help us when we finally do find our guy.

well duh now i go into hindsight mode and tell you all the moves we should've made and why my ability to be right 1/58th of the time on the internet should nominate me to be the next gm/owner/hc of the panthers

Culture on the offensive side is in the toilet. Looks like guys have no faith and frustration starting to show. Can’t keep starting Darnold and expecting the mentality to change. I think the culture on the defensive side is strong, however. Spend what few picks we have next year on OL, pick up a backup QB for a year and target the ‘23 draft for QB.

We need a franchise QB, that cures every ill with this team. Teddy and Sam weren't/aren't leaders. Team should have gone after Tyrod Taylor. The QB's in this class sucked so drafting Fields/Jones wouldn't have changed anything, maybe there is a sleeper in this next draft ala Josh Allen

I agree with the strategy but you can't keep starting Darnold after performances like he's had the last month+. 

PJ is bad, yes, and isn't the answer, yes, but it's also about not losing the locker room and looking like you're trying *anything* to give your O a chance...

i agree, you don’t go after your guy in the draft with no expenses spared and put him behind this line

have to do things properly 

this should have been started soon as Rhule stepped in the office

instead spent two years fiddling around trying to find a short cut, just delaying the process

wrong.

I've said every since we signed Matt Kalil that signing players to become something they haven't shown to be in recent years is a proposition that usually doesn't work out.

Said the same with Teddy, Said the same with Sam.

None of this is surprising, nor not supported by history.

The fix was keep Teddy and draft Fields. Now that this did not happen the new fix is tank for a real QB. Unfortunately this draft really looks like it only has one or two that would be ready anytime soon. 

I’d take a shot on Sam Howell if he’s available. Can’t be worse… then again, need OL so might not be worth the gamble

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
