We play in the most inconsistent division in football. Even us winning it 3 years in a row has to have an * next to it because we were not a very good football team in 2014. (7-8-1) Do you feel that the Atlanta hype train is legit? Or do you feel they will fall from greatness just as history shows with our division? It feels eerily similar to us with a MVP QB, unstoppable offense, and all the hype. To me it feels more like smoke and mirrors, and I don't see Atlanta being a consistent NFC juggernaut upon this seasons end. I'm not saying that because I'm jealous, hell the Bucs could win it next year for all we know. It just feels like national media wants to put them on a GB level (running the NFCN) just like they did with us last year, when in fact we all kinda know how the NFCS flip flops every single year. We all should have expected a down season for us this year, its just how the division works. Even the Saints who won the super bowl in 2010 did not win the NFCS the following year, the Bucs win the super bowl follow it up with an 8-8 season. Why should I feel any different about Atlanta with all these writers talking about them being the blueprint to success? Up until this season Matt Ryan was 1-4 in the postseason, lost the division to us at home 30-10, and followed that up starting 5-0 with an 8-8 finish. I'm sick of hearing about how 'dominant' Atlanta is, I congratulate them on the season they're having and thats great, but the Georgia Peaches are in for a rude awakening next season.

Panthers are still set up to be the best of the division for the next decade or so. We're ahead of TB and ATL has a smaller window for Ryan than we do Newton. 

We're a couple of players away on each side of the ball. If we can plug the right guys in this offseason, we'll be rolling again.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
