So what has Reich exactly accomplished to get the #1 pick and an immediate second chance?!?

I'm not sure he deserves to be paid what he wants. Frankly he looks a lot like he always has to me - good for a sack or pressure here and there but not really a consistent disruptor.

He’s Max Crosby… not Bosa or Watt

I’d argue he’s not even Max Crosby. Burns disappears for long periods of games. I’ve seen Crosby be way more disruptive for complete games than Burns ever has.

He has a ton of NFL experience. That was the key qualification Tepper was looking for.  The Panthers are starting to develop quite the habit under Tepper of thinking they can fix a problem by doing the exact opposite of their previous mistake. 

yep, same with adding Jim Caldwell and Dom Capers.  Tepper was just looking to overcompensate the other direction after Rhule.   

Tepper probably called Joe Gibbs and asked him if he wanted to consult this team too.  He might be 82 but he has experience.  Then instead of allstar staff he could of claimed it was a HALL OF FAME staff!!!

We look like a team directed by old farts.   There is a reason the Dolphins are dropping a 70 burger.  They could of done a lot more.   Young imaginative offensive minds looking to take advantage of all the rules in TODAYS NFL. 

yes, we have a young OC.  In theory he could be something to be excited about.  But this isn't his offense.   This is Frank's core offense that is installed.   And it's Frank's calling the plays for the Frank offense.

No surprise the guy who was rumored to want Tomlin out in Pit is no good at evaluating HCs.

Yep. Because of Rhule he was hesitant on taking a chance on a coach with no HC experience. Either one of the Eagles assistants should have been the hire.

Our OC essentially took a promotion for a pay raise and a job in title only. I hope it works out for him but did he really get sold on Reich being Andy Reid or something. Hell, for that matter has that approach really worked out for Eric Bieniemy? He ended up making a lateral move to go try to run an offense with a Ron Rivera OL. Best of luck buddy!

If they trade Burns and don’t get what the Rams were offering then Fitterer needs to be fired immediately 

[TLGPanthersFan]

Reich has never been a savant. He was fired from the Chargers, he was carried by Pederson and he wasn’t even the first choice for the Colts. 
He literally has been mediocre everywhere he went. He has never been good.

Man that game was brutal. Was all 4 INTs because of pressure. (Serious Question, being a UNC fan.)

From Wikipedia...

Quote

Reich was hired by the San Diego Chargers, along with Whisenhunt, in 2013. When Whisenhunt left to become head coach of the Tennessee Titans, Reich was promoted to offensive coordinator.^[16] On January 4, 2016, he was fired from his position as offensive coordinator after the Chargers finished 31st in rushing and struggled on offense.^[17]

In my opinion if you are in the NFL you have more NFL coaching experience that’s any HC in college. 
Tepper overcorrected.

I didn't see the 4th one but the first three were all under pressure or actually being hit in the act of throwing. All three were balls he should've just ate and taken the sack so that's on him but their pass protection was possibly the worst I've ever personally seen at the NFL level which is a powerful statement from a long time Panthers fan.
