Like, why spend all the time with the post and then end with that? 

Because I think it would make a good thread, but separate from this one because it's a different overall topic.

Think of it this way: There's already a lot of discussion here so why clog up a good offensive discussion with what's already going on?

I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down or you didn’t realize how that sounded on your end. Whatever. Continue with the..well, whatever this has turned into

See what I added above.

Basically, this thread is primarily geared to what's going on behind the scenes. A discussion of the offensive nuances would be its own topic, and a good one.

There's already a lot going on in here. That's why I'd say take that one to a place where it can be discussed on its own.

It's not an insult. Just the opposite actually...

We won decently enough with low talent last year with Wilks. As much as Tepper is to blame for this trainwreck, Reich is equally responsible. He just isn't a good coach.

Remember Mr. Scot when I said that if we hired Reich, we'd be looking for a new coach in 2 years and that Reich has already been fired 3 times for being a part of terrible, inefficient offenses, and you chided me for it and said I don't know anything?

Well, I really hate to take the W becuase I was so looking forward to a good season, but I am correct. Reich is playing football in the mid 2000's and has been one of the worst coaches this year. His offense and schemes do not fit the players we have, especially the offensive line and receivers. He's really bad and if the Panthers don't cut their losses after this season and go into a different direction, we are going 3-14 again next year and will be looking at a new QB at the top of the draft yet again.

Related to the topic...

One of the things I had forgotten to mention was that when asked about personnel, Frank Reich spoke in a little bit of a disconnected manner, saying that was a Scott Fitterer thing.

(reminded me back when Dave Gettleman would answer depth chart stuff with "that's a Ron question")

Granting that Fitterer has final say on the roster, it still struck me as an odd response when the team has previously said the roster is a collaborative approach.

Can't call it a W when he's not fired yet.

Preseason would have you thinking Stroud was an INT machine and he wasn’t ready for the NFL. Preseason ultimately doesnt tell you how somebody is about to perform in the regular season. 

It's hit or miss, making it inconsistent which means it's not an accurate indicator of the season.

Agreed. There is no metric right now one can point to based on preseason play and say if they do X at a Y level during preseason it means big things are coming! Its like the new "hes the training camp MVP" when the guy was WR8 or 9 the previous year on the practice squad. It gets folks hyped up right then but in the grand scheme of things it probably didn't lead to anything.

      If Bryce doesn’t produce, we moving on?

      By CRA · Posted

      it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.

      Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.

      2025 Panthers Draft Class - Overview

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
