Around the NFL Week 2

THe Panthers will be set back 4-5 years easily.

I feel that you could have written this: "They kinda did what the Commanders are doing with Jaden Daniels right now. Drafted him #2, and didn't have a decent OL in place and just threw him out to start". Isn't that the way of the NFL for QB's drafted at the top of the draft?

The larger problem for Carolina is that they traded up to #1 to get a QB and then drafted the wrong one! In my mind, there are minimum height, weight, and arm strength requirements for a QB to even be considered as a draft pick. He does not meet any of those minimums IMO. And my personal height and weight minimums keep going up every couple of years as the defensive players keep getting taller and stronger.

The largest problem of all for the Panthers is that they have a meddling nincompoop owner who forces the football side to do stupid things. That can only change with new ownership.

I agree but the OL has been decent i think JD5 play and the RBs have help to this point mask the OL's short comings

I also think the buzz out of CHI is to try to put some blame on the OL to take some heat off CW18; but CW18 just quit honestly has not been good (only been two games so a ways to go )

The media likes to build these guys up then they LOVE to tear them down the second they are not the shiniest nickel in the bunch

It's all about the clicks; therefore, instant analysis. It's very unfair to the players.

Bingo. The coaches wanted to draft CJ Stroud and Tepper wanted Bryce Young.

5'9 average armed QB's a rare in the NFL. Still shocked the Panthers took Young w/ Stroud sitting there. They must be kicking themselves every single day.

Frank Reich wanted CJ Stroud, but was overruled by the owner. Tepper is the new Snyder. Again showing how much a meddling owner can have long lasting consequences on the field.
