Is this essentially a lame duck season?

With the firing of Gettleman and Hurney having the interim tag, everything after this season is an unknown. If a new GM comes in there is a good chance he will want to bring his own guys in with him. If Hurney is retained, he may want to bring in a different coaching staff as well.

Idk, something just seems off about this season. The coaches and Cams press conferences have seemed a bit off compared to years past. There doesn't seem to be any urgency. I know it is 3 games in but despite our record, the offense is historically bad, and coaches are not really acting like it is that big of a deal. At the same time if the future wasn't a complete unknown and Ron was comfortable with his job he would have sat Cam to start the season / IR'ed him last year to have the surgery earlier. None of this matters though if JR steps in.

Tinfoil hat maybe? I guess we just suck and the future is incredibly cloudy.

It really seems that way to me

i think with the apparent end of cam as a starting qb, it's hard to get excited for it. 

there's probably 6-8 wins in there, just based on the front seven. but this doesn't bode well

I don't think that is the case He just clearly isn't healthy.

The Colts have their coach and GM in place and are not risking their franchise QB's health.

The Panthers entire future is up in the air and our coaches literally don't know how to win without Cam being Superman. If something isn't done to protect Cam from the coaches / himself, I am afraid you soon may be right.

Honestly, I think you might have nailed it. If our front office and coaching staff were secure in their positions I think there's a good chance that Cam wouldn't be playing right now.

Ironically, not allowing Cam to get fully healthy and forcing him to play handicapped all season may ultimately be all of their undoing.

just make it to the playoffs. I don't care how bad we look doing so, even if we go 7-8-1 and sneak in, that's fine by me. 

I know this team has the firepower and drive to turn it on whenever they so please. If they choose to half ass the regular season and get their head out of their ass come january, fug it. i'm on board

I believe it is, sadly. ATL is winning the division again, and I fear we're heading right back to what we've always known: 7-9 & 8-8.

Yeah...

Our only hope is a wild card which is why I was actually ok with Atlanta beating Detroit yesterday. 

Nothing worse than the dreaded 8-8 or 7-9... give me 0-16 or the SB no in between

Panthers went 1-3 in 2013.

Went 12-4 the rest of the way. 

Right now we're 2-1. A winning record. Could see us winning in NE if that says anything.

Not sure if there's ever been a more important game for this franchise this early in the season. I really think this coming game decides whether we rebound and get back on track and make a serious run or completely crash and burn.

No, this staff is safe.  They will use injury and poor execution an excuse.

The only way I see them being safe is if Hurney is retained on precedent to not fire the coaching staff.

If we bring in another GM who doesn't bring his own staff with him I will pretty much give up hope.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
