After 6 Games, Panthers can throw it and not much else

So after six games played this is how our team stacks up.

OFFENSE

9th in passing yards

27th in rushing yards

13th in total yards

DEFENSE

23th in pass defense

30th in rush defense

28th in total yards

Who would have thought six games into the season, we would have a bottom tier defense and rank in the top ten in passing with a rookie #1 WR?

Certainly no one expected the defense to be this awful. The defensive players who were thinking of demanding a massively expensive contract are going to have to rethink things. Prices are coming down, or they can take a walk. The offense should become the spending priority.

Ive been doing some thinking and I think this team will be at a crossroads in the off season. If your Gettleman do you A. Focus on retooling the D and adding more defensive pieces to make our D dominant again but in the process neglect the offense (again) or B. Do you go all in, improve the O line and offense and just let our D stay mediocre..

My opinion, in today's NFL, I say focus on cam and the offense, Draft and sign key offensive players and just let the D go. Too much parity when it comes to defenses and with the new practice rules and just the new rules in general, defenses just have too much of an uphill battle. Look at the Saints, Chiefs and Seahawks, all three had dominat Ds last year while this year the D is faltering.

If this was the early 2000s I would be thinking the oppositie, but this is Cam's team and its time to make this a offense first team

For everyone except Hardy, LOL...

And you thought we would be 32nd in passing, SMH.

Hardy is making out like a bandit. To think the public and media wanted to harm Hardy with their outrage and overreaction, but in reality they gave him a one year paid vacation. 13 million dollar to relax and take it easy, do a little rapping, lift some weights, chill. Way to go media. Thank. You only hurt the Panthers and their fans.

I say absolutely say go all in on offense. We have one of the best QB's ever that can do everything. Retooling the defense would take about 3 more years to get all the pieces we need to get back to an elite defense. However, if Getts goes with that plan, he will have to either fire Rivera or demote him to DC and hire an offensive minded coach, which I think is possible because I really don't believe he wanted Rivera to start with. I honestly think we would have a more consistent success with offense as priority than defense. That is just my take on it.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
