And there it is, Bailey tears down the injury excuse by pointing out the defense. Okay, we have been rotating guys at guard, but that’s really the only place we’re dealing with, and yet the defense has lost 9 of our 11 starters at various points of the season, and yet the defense isn’t completely falling apart like the offense has
Snyder: Literally trafficked and prostituted his cheerleaders, gave expired food to fans, allowed shit water to fill the stadium and rain on people
Tepper: Fires a head coach that has shown 0 improvement
Somehow the same thing
I just hope we can keep Tabor as ST coach after this season, because interim HCs almost never remain with their current team, and he’s such a valuable ST coach, you can’t afford to lose him
Definitely don’t hate the Brown move, he has more than 10 years experience as an RB coach, but hope it isn’t too much on his plate being a first time OC and trying to turn around our RB production
“And this is what happens when you make the wrong decision on the first pick and set your team back so much.”
So that’s it, after hearing the past almost 2 years from the media that Bryce Young is the only correct pick for #1 overall, we’re just going to pretend not a single person actually believed that? I’m sorry, but this is stupid as fuck. None of the media gets to “sit back and dust their hands” of this by pretending they always believed it was Stroud
2 things the media keeps focusing on and pushing:
Tepper is impatient and knee-jerky (He isn’t)
Bryce is a bust and the main issue (He isn’t)
I’m rolling my eyes
Look, there’s plenty of things to have an issue with Tepper about, but the head coaching issue is not it. He gave Rivera an extra season that he didn’t deserve as a second chance. Rivera didn’t work out, so we rightfully cut bait. Then, Tepper put his money where his mouth is and signed the hottest head coach candidate in the 2020 offseason. It was a widely praised move. We spent a ton of money for it. Then even though he should’ve been fired after year 2, Tepper gave Rhule 1 more year to show ANY improvement, and when he didn’t, we rightfully cut bait again. Then, Tepper, after learning his lesson about an all-rookie coach squad, again put his money where his mouth is and put together a coaching staff absolutely soaked in experience and success. And when that failed hard, and we saw no chance of improvement at all, we rightfully cut bait again
One thing you CANNOT say about Tepper is that he has 0 interest in getting the right coach, because he’s spending a ton of money and giving people more chances than they deserve
He’s a rookie who’s having his confidence wrecked and bad habits installed, so I honestly find it difficult to just name him as a problem. This is turning into a Tua/Lawrence/Geno situation where the coaching and team is not built to help or develop him his rookie season, but I’m not ready to bail on Bryce because if those guys can turn it around and make the jump, then it’s not a bad thing to think Bryce can, but for right now there’s nothing at his disposal right now that he can rely on
This is what happens when you’ve got receivers that can get open
Just ignore them, we’re getting a massive influx of trolls who are only coming into r/Panthers to poke Panthers fans
Some things to consider:
Houston is 4th best in the NFL in pass block efficiency, Carolina is 29th
Houston has 3 WRs in the top 12 of yards/route run, Carolina’s best WR in y/rr is Thielen at 45th
Houston has 3 WRs in the top 15 of average separation per route run, Carolina doesn’t have a single WR in the top 50
Stroud just has better OL, WR, and coaching, and he’s taking great advantage of it

Of course people look “smaller” when standing behind an NFL offensive line that consists of guys between 6’4" and 6’8"
I get that firing Fitterer accomplishes nothing at this time, because he’s not really doing anything and his real duties won’t begin for a couple months anyways, but Reich is having an immediate direct impact on the team right now and this includes potentially crippling the guy we spent a ton of resources on. Firing Reich now potentially reduces the chances of us calling it quits with a permanently ruined expensive QB, and that’s really all that matters to me. We need to make the moves now to salvage what we can with Bryce otherwise we’re pretty much locked into drafting a new QB once we have a FRP in 2025
If we can sign 2 of:
Then I’d be happier. Allow us to use the entire draft for OL
This rhetoric is very black or white. It’s not that you have to step in and immediately have a winning season, it’s that you have to show some improvement in not only from the previous season, but from week to week. Last year we finished the season out pretty strong and even came within a game of winning the division. But despite having mostly the same roster with a better QB option and supposedly better coaches, we’re looking worse than any of Rhule’s seasons. On top of that, the team as a whole continues to look more and more undisciplined every week. Sometimes you don’t have to wait for a 2nd season to know when someone just isn’t it, and it’s not a bad move to move along early, I’m sure any future coaching candidates will be adults about it and understand that their predecessor was the architect of their own quick downfall
Evero would be the likeliest candidate, with Thomas Brown also getting an interview. I bet we also try again with Ben Johnson and maybe even have a chat with Harbaugh for a possible return to Charlotte
Ideally for the Panthers is we go ahead and keep Fitt and Reich, let them absolutely tank the team in 2024, then hire a new GM, new HC, and give them a top 3-5 pick in 2025 to restart
Just a reminder for people who tried to claim Cam picked #1 because of narcissism or whatever other nonsense
McCown and Staley, not Caldwell lol
