With all the doom and gloom around here lately and rightfully so, I wanted to find out who still believes in the Panthers chances of making the playoffs this season.

 

I would like to say that I do. Then again I am a generally very optimistic person and I think we start by beating the Eagles tomorrow.

I still believe in "any given Sunday" but I don't believe Shula can get more than 17 points out of our offense any Sunday. So unless our defense turns into last years team and we hold our opponents to 14 or less, we don't have a chance. This probably won't happen because Ron Rivera has shown he can't gameplan very well.

TL;DR-Too many issues that need fixing to turn into a playoff team.

There's a time to be wishful and hopeful, I think that time has come and gone.

There's also a time to be real and face the facts, I also think that this just isn't our year.

I'll just watch the rest of our games and watch as the younger players gain experience for next year..

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.

    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
