I disagree with needing another TE. We're going back to the ground game and we have Brokel for that.

We have a franchise QB and a HC who says what we do on offense is basically going to be the same.

How does any of thy equate to going to being a run first team relying on RBs?

Our brand new GM even said he almost drafted a TE over Star

No, everyone has said that the core of the offense will stay the same but they're focusing on getting back to the running game. It's been reported over and over.

 

Where did I say we were going to be "run first"?  I didn't. But if you want to run the ball keeping a blocking TE like Brokel makes sense. I hope we run a more balanced offense. Olsen isn't a very good blocker, Brokel isn't a very good receiver.

 

Eifert would have been a value pick. We need more pass catchers, that's where his value is.

Agreed. 

 

It appears that many Huddler's, haven't realized that the team just wants to run the ball more EFFECTIVELY, and/or redistribute the yards (i.e. less for Cam, or less short yardage yards for him), as a preference. As you indicated, this has nothing to do with being a more run focused team, along with the give and take of what a game/defense actually presents you on game day. Folks are just showing their preferences. 

 

Yeah, it's no secret that the Panthers did very well Cam's rookie season with/and having missed two pass catching tight ends (especially with no legitimate 3rd or 4th receiver available). Therefore Brockel being there or not (two post before me, by JOAT), wouldn't make much difference in the big scheme of things. You could even argue, it would hurt the team more than it helps. 

 

Brockel's claim to fame so far, was the annexation of Puerto Rico play, during the very offensive 2011 Panther season (i.e., he really didn't do much).

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      Nothing will change with the qb situation until Tepper is convinced Young is not viable. Until that point, it will be Young. During that time, any shortcomings of Young will be because he does not have the necessary supporting cast, and/or coaches are failing him with faulty schemes and defective gameplans.  So, until Tepper is out, Young is in.

      Young is the kind of QB who will go as far as the team drags him 90% of the time. And once in a long while he'll explode and light the opposing team up. That is not anywhere near where we need to be as a team. What' worse is that we've won way too many games this season due to an extremely easy schedule. So we can't select a top QB in the draft, and a free agent QB is usually not the answer.  The Panthers fell victim to a long stretch of bad QBs coming out of college. Even if we had made different moves and selected any number of different QBs coming out, we still would have ended up with a bust most likely. Bryce is a bust. Tua is a bust. Zach Wilson? Yikes. Trey Lance. Justin Fields. Mac Jones. Kenny Picket. CJ Stroud. My point is that a lot of teams were devastated by this stretch of bad QBs coming out of college, but we were dumb enough to trade the farm for one of them.  The smart move? Tale the 2 first round picks from the Rams for Burns, and keep CMC. Sit tight. Whatever QB falls in your lap in the draft, take him. Then use the other two first round picks to build up the o-line on the cheap. This isn't Morning GMing. I said take the Rams deal at the time. We have not had a good GM ever in franchise history.  No more trading up for QBs. Clearly is a total guessing game. Stay put. Trade vets for draft picks and start the rebuilding process with a new GM and new coaches. Cut Bryce and bring him back on a vet min deal. Then cut him again for being trash. He's done here if I had any say.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 12 loss to 49ers

      He hasn't been the same since the head injury last year. I don't know if there are some lasting physical effects, or it's just mental. I hope he can get back to form, but I'm highly skeptical.
