How do the Panthers get back to the success of 2015?

15-1 i'm highly doubting that happens again but getting similar results is quite simple, fix the problems as they occur. we have not done that in the last 3 drafts, ot issue has remained an issue long enough, either draft a guy early, trade up for or trade for and ot, or over spend in fa for one. Play to your qb strengths, coaching staff as a whole hasn't been doing that lately. Need to get out of the mindset that the d line is going to mask bad or subpar secondary play and draft some guys who can help slow down the top receivers in the league. Our previous Gm didn't have a clear plan in place, hopefully our gm going forward realizes the importance of ot play and playmakers in the secondary, with also having a plan in place for replacing players we will let walk

I don't recall anything special about the offense, we just did our jobs and made plays. Cam hasn't played the same since that season happened.

i mean he used to pull dlines offsides regularly all season. He looked dbs off. None of that has to do with his shoulder or ankle. He surveyed the field.

Cam just isn't doing anything that he used to and it's not clear why or how he forgot how to do those things. He petitioned for CMC to get drafted and now just wants to throw it to him and watch.

Ted Ginn was fast but in 2015 no one said he was some crazy stud. He was always still disrespected here. 

Something is missing from Cam and it's not just injuries. He is missing something mentally.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
