I wish we hired Deion as our coach. Soft ass staff

Noodle arm? That's not what I've seen. The problem is we don't have any receivers that can stretch the field or get any separation.

Bro, he overthrew Mingo and TMJ when both had burned their defender bc he lacks touch on the deep ball bc he's trying to push it further than what he comfortable throwing.  Mingo's likely would've been a TD.  TMJ's also had a chance.  They had no issue getting separation.

Well, there is no sugarcoating this.

That was an F+ debut for this "new look" franchise at best.

It would be hard to imagine a worse debut performance for our #1 overall pick.

This is bad. This is very bad.

I haven’t really seen much less “vanilla” on the offseason like we heard all preseason.

[L-TownCat]

fug this.

[Silent Majority]

This is probably the most anticlimactic Panthers opener I've ever experienced. This sht was Luke warm as hell.

Why anyone expected anything different baffles me. The dude played on the best football program in college. This is the NFL where the latent is much more even. He’s going to bust because he lacks the physical tools. 

He should ride to the bench until he gets it together. No shame in that.

This right here... It's easy to look really good when you have the best oline, WRs, and RBs in the country. There is a reason why AJ McCarron and bum Bama QBs like that have been complete failures in the NFL

Young isn't trash. But he's not worth what we gave up

He can’t run.  Not a rocket arm and not accurate on deep throws.  But he can process.  

[CPantherKing]

Ridder v Young for the foreseeable future.

Young is going to have to prove he can out perform Ridder in the 4th quarter with the game on the line.

Meh, I'm not giving up on him but those two staredown late INTs across the middle aren't what I wanted to see from a guy who was supposed to be super NFL ready. It just seems like his physical toolset is pretty limited at the NFL level so he's going to have to get two steps ahead mentally and that's a tall ask in the NFL.

He really looks like shorter Teddy Bridgewater

Remember, the hit rate on QBs at 1 is very low.  Young doesn’t look the part right now.  He better take giant leaps

In all seriousness, and this coming from an Auburn fan, Cam Newton would struggle mightily with this mixture of coaching and offensive personnel.

Can’t wait to hear Frank ramble like the country bumpkin he is in the press conference about it being a process and going back to look at the film.

Well, wake me up in 3 years when we are drafting our next failure of a QB in the top 8

That will be year 9 of the rebuild
