Um ok.  In other news. Ive been telli g people all season it was weird that rivera kept comparing the panthers to the broncos that went to the super bowl then needed a year to regroup so to speak.  He mentioned that quite a few times.  I firmly believe this was tbe plan all along.  Get the rookies some experience and not waste money on high price free agents on a throw away season.  It would explain the non urgency by rivera and staff to win.

That makes sense, but do you think they would honestly "throw away" a season. Cam and Luke aren't getting younger know what I mean.

Don't think it was intended to be a "throw away" season but I don't think they expected to be back this year. If things bounce our way in those close games we'd be in great position to make the playoffs. That didn't happen, which sucks but there's definitely reasons to be excited about the future still.

I wonder if the thinking was that with KB coming back the offense would be more potent, so it could make up for the decline in the defense with throwing rookie DBs and scrubs out there. Or who in the hell knows what Gettleman was thinking, but I can't imagine he thought we'd be marching into the playoffs. Anyone could see the Remmers was easy to exploit in the SB. None of the o-linemen in the draft would have been an upgrade over Remmers? C'mon. We just had to have Worley and Sanchez? I was pulling my hair out in the off season. We CANNOT have another off season like 2016 or we're finished. Problem areas have to be addressed. You can't just close you're eyes and rub you big belly for luck. The decline has been shocking but you could see it coming. Not spending, letting a superstar walk, starting rookies, adding scrubs, you had a bad feeling. Still I wanted to be extremely optimistic. Nope. If it looks bad in the off season, then it's going to be bad in the regular season.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
