Have the firings given you new hope for playoffs?

I would always prefer to see a winning season and a great story as opposed to watching the organization get blown up.

2010 was different... we knew Fox was gone for sure already, knew we had the first pick in the bag and knew we had our pick of a new number 1 quarterback.

2018 we have a decent corps but a lot of old players, not a lot of cap space next year truly,.. and I am not truly convinced a better coach is available to hire right now.

so like they said on “Major League”,.. 

lets go out and win the whole damn thing

I'm on the "whatever is going to happen is going to happen" train. I don't know what to expect, but I'm very got very little confidence in this team under Ron.

While the changes were the right call, they should have happened weeks ago and at this point you know those changes came about not because Rivera thought it was the right thing to do, but because his hand was forced and that cements my belief that the window has closed for the Rivera era Panthers.

They might win, they might make it to the playoffs, but they won't go far and any success they might have won't be sustained. 

I think Rivera's goal was back to back winning seasons and I'm sorry but that isn't enough.

It's time to move on.

Why are there no discussions about Hurney being let go? His draft was good, but almost every single offseason move outside of the draft hasn't worked out well.

 

Torrey Smith

Poe for Star

*ducks* extending Greg on a broken foot

CJ Anderson

 

This doesn't even take into account the failure to address DE. I would give him credit for Eric Reid, but I think that was an ownership decision.

In all fairness, Jairus Wright has been good.  Clark looked good until recently.  Getting Rid of Kelvin was good too.

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
