Do you believe we can compete next year?

Honest question. What is your opinion on our chances next year? Do you think we will compete for a playoff spot or miss out?

I personally believe that we have a brighter future than what many believe. If we re sign Williams we can have the best set of tackles the team has ever had wit Moton on the left, plenty of talent on O with very exciting players in D.J. Moore and Samuel, Greg and Thomas, and CMC.  If we retool the D, sign some established coaches on D such as wilks as a secondary/assistant coach role I believe we can come back strong if we have a solid FA and draft which could be a top 10 pick. This is just my opinion and we all have them, so with that being said......

Whats your opinion?

Completely possible.

A retooling in the offseason is possible with the right cap moves and draft picks.

We saw what the offense was capable of with a patchwork oline and limited cam newton.

On defense, this is a great year to have cap space and high picks. Defensive guys tend to have a quicker ramp up period as well.

At this point, I don’t feel great about next season.  I’m excited for a more seasoned skill position corps (CMC, Moore, Samuel), but I don’t see a defensive transformation overnight.  We need pass rushers, D line, LB, and a safety.  We need a center and a left tackle unless that’s Moton with Williams healthy and back on the line.  Not sure about Cam’s shoulder either.  Plus Ron is an idiot, so no, not feeling great.

Last time this happened, we got Cam. So, win-win?

2020 is a good year to have a high pick and need a QB

And what did they do with it? What makes you think this franchise can build around a number 1 pick QB if they haven't did it with Cam?

There are fewer teams that have than teams that haven't. 

Just because we lost the superbowl, with Cam, does not make his time in Carolina a failure.

And it doesn't mean that trying it again guarantees or precludes success.

Shall we just hang it up?

well that QB would already have a CMC, Samuel, and DJ, and some high rounders from 2019 and 2020 drafts. Way more talent than Cam had coming into the league to work with.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
