THE FUTURE

I will once again come back for the bashing.... Yesterday was the exact reason I didn't think giving up what we did to acquire the #1 pick was needed at this time. WE HAVE TOO MANY GAPING HOLES! AND NO DEPTH! We are gonna win 4 or 5 games. We could have done that with Dalton or just about anybody. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we have one 2nd rounder, one 3rd rounder and a 4th next year. As well as a few in the later rounds? What are we gonna do with that? Somebody help me out, because I'm struggling to see what we are trying to do here.

Yeah, you don't get to pick and choose when you land your franchise QB. When you think there's a chance you just have to shoot your shot. If you swing and miss you're gonna get fired. If you fail to ever swing you're still gonna get fired. Just the way the NFL goes. Not For Long doesn't just apply to players.

the defensive side of the ball is a pretty complete unit, you sit around waiting until a Can’t Miss Generational Quarterback slips to you at 9 or 11 or 14 then you’re going to watch these rookie contracts guys get signed to big contracts with winning teams while you’re “preparing the roster”

the roster is never prepared, new holes open up every offseason, and of course even when you have a good core in place you need talent at the QB position to make it all go

i can’t believe there are still people oblivious to this

That and there's just no such thing as anything close to a complete roster in the NFL with the hard salary cap. Every roster has weak points and depth issues. I mean, we went 15-1 with a very flawed overall offensive roster.

Not having a first rounder is going to hurt especially with the crop of WRs coming out, but we are hardly pick poor.  I'm looking at FA for WR because in year two of this evolution of the Panthers, we can ill afford having a guy whose not an immediate WR1 as a rookie.  Plus, our track record of 2nd round WRs is very suspect.  Moose, I think, is the most accomplished and that going WAAAAY back and there's not a close *pun* second.

That second round pick would be great value for a RB, DL, CB, edge or TE.  For the sake of our sanity and Bryce Young, we need a FA stud at WR.

I truly can't believe I'm the only one on here who thinks we shouldn't have given up DJ, the 9th pick, a late 2nd rounder, 2024 first rounder, and a 2025 2nd rounder. I'm not saying I'm right, but man, that's a lot to give up. I guess we shall see if it was the right decision. And this has nothing to do with who we drafted, because I do like Bryce. I've said before and I'll say it again. I just think we drafted who we want as a franchise QB a year or 2 too early.

    • He played like the kid coming out of Alabama. That's what he has done and what everyone expected him to do from the jump. What almost everyone failed to consider was what it would take to get him to play like that in the nfl. Turns out it was just a matter of confidence. 
    • This is actually a good discussion that dime to Legette was about 35 yards very accurate but not the TD throw to AT, but I definitely found Bryce hitting passes extremely similar to Andy I didn’t think Bryce could a couple weeks ago but that’s just not true he can. 32 sec mark he drops a dime 40 yards down the field where only Cooker can catch it with plenty zip with elite accuracy, I’d say the exact same dime Andy threw just diff part of the field. Bryce is showing he can make every throw Andy can make.  And your question is way to specific to find examples but I can find you very similar plays and If my boy Legette catches the dam ball Bryce might be able to have a deep TD pass that traveled about 30+ yards in the air we just need him to catch the ball and take off up the field but that’s not my argument I’m here to show Bryce throwing similar darts to Andy in his first year of being in a competent offense. TMJ and DJ Chark Mingo Ian Thomas lol and others as your go to weapons I’d say can have a major negative affect on your performances. But to address the argument here Bryce has film doing what Andy can do here’s the proof. (See video above)
    • I agree with all of that and Fitterer definitely sucked.  Some of that may also be blamed on the fact that he did not start with a fresh regime to come in.  So he had already burned some of his wick when we were starting over with a new coach (twice). The reality is that we do not often see players traded for that kind of package in the NFL today.  We don't see teams selling off star players for large hauls to start a re-build.  Whether or not that is the correct decision is up for debate.  But in the NFL it's observable that the opposite is mostly the case.  Teams tend to over value present assets vs future assets. It all goes back to the fact that "now" is all that matters if you're running an NFL team.  They say the NFL stands for "not for long".  You don't have the luxury to sow a field that won't be harvested until after you're gone.  Nobody's that selfless in NFL front offices.
