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..

    • 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.
    • 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.
