Roll call: Keep Pounding or Burn It Down

Recommended Posts

I know this loss hurts. It hurts more than getting blown out by the Steelers, because this was a team the Panthers should have beat. So are you still a fan? Do you still have faith in this team to Keep Pounding and rally? Or are you ready to burn it down, fire Rivera, and start looking forward to next year? Make it known right here. 

I'm somewhere in between. At 6-4 there's a chance to make the playoffs, but the way this team is playing it's starting to look unlikely they will get there. 

Make your position known right now. I'll bump this thread at the end of the season.

If anyone honestly thinks we have a chance in Hades making it through the current field of playoff contenders, they're doing themselves a disservice. Defensive line is a must-draft in the upcoming season. Best case scenario is the front office and coaching staff being out the door after this awful showing. I'm ready for a coaching staff that actually gives a rip.

fire rivera and hurny but do not go into rebuilding mode. the team's problem is management, not talent. get a new coach who will hire modern, talented coordinators.

no need to do it before the offseason though. in fact it would be absolutely idiotic to do it before the offseason. you can't rush finding a new coach just because the old one sucks.

If your answer is anything other than keep pounding you need to find another team to cheer for. 

Offseason is for change, regular season if for cheering on your team to winning games.

This is a noble take, but when that team trips over its own dick and refuses to win games, those who are the culprits should not be rewarded by staying the season.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
