Quick question. Let's assume that if we turn this around and win the division that Ron Rivera and Mike Shula are retained to continue coaching the panthers next year. On the flip side let's assume if we miss playoffs that they are fired immediately after the season. Would you rather us make playoffs and have to deal with this incompetent coaching staff another year? Or just miss out on playoffs and get a coach who can lead this team correctly next year?

The ultimate nfl troll job staring your Carolina Panthers

Step one : make playoffs

Step two : seedings go like this

1 - packers

2 - cardinals

3 - eagles

4 - panthers

5 - cowboys

6 - Seahawks

Obviously we beat that cowboys round one because it's the playoffs and we just do.

On to the cardinals. Drew freaking stanton I mean come on that's a win

Now thankfully the Seahawks have done something we can't do. Beat the eagles and packers

Third or fifth or tenth times a charm right? Beat the Seahawks and go to the super bowl.

Yeah let's do that.

The goal is to go to the Superbowl. It's still within reach...so I'd rather have a shot than no shot at all (although I think the Packers have it in them to take it all the way). The defense looked good last week. Maybe that's just the jolt it needs to get our early season groove back. We'll beat Minnesota--there's no doubt about that.

I know its fun to say Ron's the cause of our woes a and perhaps if he had done something different we would have won an extra game or two but I'd like to see what would happen with an even playing field. in 2013 Ron won 12 games with the 3rd lowest payroll of

In football (94 mil).  Only oakland and j,ville spent less (65m and 84m).  The league average was 107m.

 

This year the league average cap spending is on actual players is 118m.  The panthers are fitth from the bottom at spending 109m  with other winners such as the jags, raiders, jets, and cowboys just below them.  Unfortunately included in the 109m is 13m for hardy, so we are really sitting at 96m dead last and 5m less than the lowly jets. 

 

 

This is what people mean when they say we are in "cap hell".  Its a real thing.

Making the playoffs simply because everyone else in the division stinks worse than we do is not very impressive IMO. Assuming that we do win the South, I have to be honest and say that we would lose against anyone we played. This team has been a freaking train wreck since the 2-0 start, and there's no way they magically turn everything around and win the last 5. 

 

If we make the playoffs and lose at home, JR will keep Ron for sure, Shula probably will be gone. If we miss the playoffs entirely, Ron still stays but Shula is gone no doubt.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
