Do you believe we can compete next year?

[WarPanthers89]

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? 

[bobsfoodbasics]

lol not with ron the neanderthal in charge

[Lasus83.]

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.

[Chaos]

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.

[OldNorthPowell]

Not if Ron is coach and Marty is the GM.

[Harbingers]

If we get rid of Hurney and all of his mistakes. Yes. Ron can stay. 

[Ja Rhule]

Lame Duck coach and GM?  Yea, we will suck.

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

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

[Panfan35]

Sadly I agree not with this coaching staff and with no qb I don’t believe cam will be ready or will not be the Same qb any more.hopfully big changes are coming..

[Hoenheim]

Depends on if Cam is completely healthy and if we have a pass rush. Impossible to know either of those until the start of next season unfortunately.

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?

[bigdog10]

Nope. This team isn’t very talented.

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.
