Is It Time To Gut This Team?

    Is this reactionary? Probably so, but I have been thinking about this for a few weeks now.  With so many of our starters most likely retiring or moving on after this season, I feel like this was our last real chance at a Suberbowl.  So should we scrap this team, and if so who is safe?

     To me its obvious that Newton, CMC, Luke, Jackson, Moore, Addison and Moton are safe.  Included in this gut would be the coaching staff and the GM, we have a new owner, its time for some new blood in the front office.

I don't know about "time" but with the veterans we have running their final lap and the low number of players we have under contract going into next season, there's a pretty good shot that this team will look a lot different a year from now.

This offseason's overhaul could potentially have a big effect on how this team looks over the next several years. That's why I want more capable hands then Marty Hurney's running the process.

For the past couple of seasons the FO has made the offense a priority, adding more speed and versatility. Now it's clearly time to address the defense, starting with the line.

Gutting the team means starting over with a new core. We won't be doing that as we already have a strong core, especially on offense.

It's time to retool on defense. We have to get it right in FA and Draft. The defense is struggling because guys like Kony Ealy, Daeshon Hall, Vernon Butler, and Daryl Worley did not pan out. Also,  Bradberry and Shaq show flashes but can't bring it all together. Time to move on from Wes Horton, Byron Cox Jr., Mike Adams, Captain Munnerlyn, Peppers, and probably Thomas Davis. The defense needs to get younger and faster. Several guys on the defense already have their second or third contract, I don't see much desire or want to. Detroit had their 4th and 5th string receivers out there, gave up 16 sacks in last 2 games, they should have been held under 14 points.

Wow— some part of me dreams of getting the right coaching staff and doing just that,..

having a Pederson(McVae hasn’t won anything yet) come in and do just that would be incredible.

the problem is you can get a guy that seems great,.. a Chip Kelly(although it could be argued that Pederson won a Super Bowl with the team Chip put together) or a Gruden or a Wilks or a host of others that so far have made our team look like a Super Bowl team.

so is anyone ready to have 3-4 ugly 2-14 type seasons if it goes that way? 2 coaches within 5 years? Cam gets traded in the process?

I wouldn’t say we need to gut the team but we are going to find out quickly (in the next two years) how good Marty Hurney (if retained) is.

These next two drafts are going to dictate the future of the Panthers with so many players retiring or moving on.

Just thinking about it from an elitist perspective, how many players do the Panthers have on their roster that are or have the potential to be elite at their position? Cam, McAffrey, Moore, Samuel, Turner, Moton, Kueckly, Jackson? That’s about it in my opinion.

The Panthers need to draft well over these next two drafts or they are going to have no choice but to blow it up.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
