Are the Panthers the next Chargers?

Everyone knew that they had a talented roster: Tomlinson, Rivers, Sproles, Gates, VJax, Merrimen, Weddle, Cromartie. Everyone also knew that AJ Smith and Norv Turner needed to go by 2010 (if not sooner), yet they weren't fired until 2012. The Chargers still haven't recovered. Even with that, the Chargers only had two losing seasons under AJ Smith, his first and his last. Hurney had 5 losing seasons and Rivera has already had 4. Is JR going to let Hurney and Rivera waste our current core group of players and ruin the franchise for the next decade?

If you mean changing coaching staffs every couple years or every time your QB has a bad game. No not yet but give it time. I mean people are wanting Norv Turner as our OC, I mean that worked for the Chargers.

 

1TD - 8ints in 3 losses, can you believe the coaching:eyeroll:

It's sad to say but this team might benefit more in the long run if they totally collapse. It would send a message to JR that he made a mistake with David and not firing Hurney. Any success this year translates to the coaching staff/GM staying at least two more years.

There are some distinct differences to how the teams are run, but in essence, you could be onto something.  The Chargers wasted a HOF caliber QB in Rivers by being cheap, and mismanaged.

We are wasting a HOF caliber QB's career by continuing to trot out below average coaches...not necessarily teams.

 

The Chargers allowed a glut of talent to leave after Rivers' first couple years there, and then started drafting poorly...they seem to be a bit better now, but still not great.  

IMO Carolina has had talent all through Cam's career, we just haven't had the coaching to use the talent effectively.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
