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

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.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
