In your opinion, what do the panthers have to do to make the playoffs?

And then possibly the super bowl?

IMO, this team as it stands will be lucky, very lucky to make the playoffs again. Due in large part to glaring holes in the Defensive backfield. If we can somehow patch up the Defensive backfield I think it’s not only possible but likely.

What the possibility of a Super Bowl comes simply down if Norv can get the offense turned around.

if the defense gets fixed I say playoffs for sure, but super bowl? if everything goes well..... maybe?

Win all the games. duh. Jk. but seriously.

I think the biggest question mark on the offensive side of the ball (outside of health) is how well we pick up Turner's offense. It appears we are going for a systematic approach, as opposed to a talent heavy approach.

As far as defense, our corners were on an  island all year last year, and teams found ways to attack that, and we never countered. We are going to need help in the secondary, and without an anchor similiar to what mitchel/coleman were, its going to be tough to hide that.

It's hard to assume we win the super bowl with what we have in place right now. If we want to go to the super bowl we need a stellar draft, and cherry pick rosters at the end of the pre-season for surprise cuts.

I don't see anything they can conceivably do to make the playoffs with the shape the roster is in and new coordinators taking over much less a SB.  I'm holding out hope that they can pull off back to back winning seasons however.  

What’s up snow? You’ve been super salty for like the last two weeks? “No conceivable way?” Even a Falcons fan would disagree with you..

No, I'm just not drinking the cool-aid like most on here are.  Salty?  Nah I just call it like I see it.   

I will be happy when the team is sold and JR no longer has control.  I get physically I'll everytime I see Hurneys face so maybe that s my problem.

But I won't belittle your optimism.  Carry on.

I don't think playoffs are a realistic option given the current state of the team. Now, if we get our secondary shored up and our depth chart squared away, perhaps that is an option. Right now, we have way too many holes in our roster to be considered much of a playoff contender. Think about how many spots we simply cannot afford an injury at. It's not a great position to be in.

But, there is ample time remaining in free agency and the draft to add CB's, S, TE2, QB2, OG#1, OL depth, and RB depth.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
