Is next season the most important season ever for this franchise?

I feel next season could very well be the most important season this organization has had in quite some if ever. Ofcourse every season is "important" but next season in particular is a "cross roads" season. There is no DOUBT whatsoever Rivera will be gone if we have a losing season.

I think when Getlleman said we wont be shopping at the dollar store anymore, that was a sub conscious shot to Rivera basically saying Rivera was off the hook this past season because of how cap challenged we where, but by Gettleman going on record saying we can "step up a class." That was also his way of letting Rivera know there will be no excuses whatsoever next season.

After Gettleman's press conference, you get this sense of "win now " urgency next season. Next season will be a tale of two paths. Path A. Make the playoffs three years in a row which would be absolutley huge for this franchise and have a legit shot at atleast the NFC title game.

Path B. Have a losing season and the Rivera era comes to an end and Gettleman will rebuild the entire coaching staff from scratch with his guys he chooses and will basicially be given the keys to the kingdom so to speak.

Either way, as a Panthers fan this next season might be the most exciting season in ages. Dont get me wrong, My first and only choice would be playoffs, but if we have a losing season, a part of me would love to see what kind of coaching staff he would bring in and there is no doubt in my mind that Gettleman wouod bring in a top notch HC if his evaluation of players is any indication.

It is the most important season because it is our next season

Learned that in Cliche: 101

As long as we take it one game at a time, we can find a way to win.

I also took Cliche: 101

Side note: I love Cam but he should take Cliche 101 because he has flat fugged up a few cliches in his interviews.

That is part of his charm. Simple and plain

Next season is definitely an important season for this team and front office. We have to get better on offense and we can't afford to take a step back on defense. This season i'm looking at the possibility that Cam has a breakout year with him being fully in the system and healthy this offseason with no setbacks in his development. The front office needs to show the ability to get better with the signing of free agents and drafting of players. They have done a outstanding job to this day but we have to keep the consistency going if we plan on being in the title discussion year in and year out like Seattle, Green Bay, and New England. I think the sky can be the limit for this team next year!

I can't in good faith look at a season where we owe one DE $20M against the cap.      $17M against the cap for RBs (Dwill, Stew ,Tolbert)....and the worst LT still on the roster..  and claim it the most important season ever.        Maybe if we upgrade LT, #2 WR,  and work  out a new deal with Charles Johnson that frees up some extra cap space to sign a decent player in FA..and cut Dwill..   I can then look at the upcoming season with high in the sky hopes.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
