Your opinions on the 2018 season

Its obvious that this organisation is going through the biggest overhaul that it has ever seen has since its inception. In fact. I can't recall any franchise that has gone through what is happening here. What do you see for next season? Can the players come together and focus or will all this have taken it's toll?  Opinions please....

Jerry Richardson situation could've bothered them but nothing else really should.

The uncertainty with the new owner and GM SHOULD make certain position groups work harder. (ex:Dbs) If the new regime doesn't like a players fit or think a player just isn't good they'll probably be cut or moved. And that's the only thing that I see could worry anyone.

Just now, Jon Snow said:

This team as you know it will not exist after this season.  What to expect?  Don't get your hopes up.  

oh....2019? that's a whole other story. depends on who the owner and GM is and how well they can rebuild. if it somehow manages to be hurney....i'm not feeling it. this next year, though? we got some incredible pieces still in place and have better management of the offense.  we gonna be alright.

Everyone is auditioning for a job, coaches, FO and the players.  Everyone should be nervous.

Homer glasses off I would say the jury is still out on how this coming season plays out.   Everyone and I mean everyone is auditioning for a job this year so you would think that they go all out to impress, right?  That's a lot to wish for.

It’s hard to tell.  All of the players are on vacations and probably getting as far away from this mess as possible.  This team had a history of thriving during controversy and distractions. Which that says a lot about the locker room. I think as long as Ron is at helm, he will keep the players focused.

You know the inconsistency of this franchise. Something will make us finish 8-8. We play the AFC North, so we should get wins against them. New Orleans may fall off but Atlanta will certainly rebound. We also play the NFC East. The last time we had this schedule we won the division at 7-8-1. It may take a year to get acclimated to Norv's scheme. However, if we don't address our secondary or our receivers, 8-8 sounds about right.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
