The moment Marty Hurney walked back into the building, I started looking at losing seasons as far as the eye can see.

At least with a change there is hope, with this staff there is known.

Maybe this'll help.

Remember that phenomenal draft that put the Saints back on the right path just a few years ago?

If we could have a draft like that, and it's conceivable we have a shot at the guy who orchestrated that draft, that would certainly help.

Is that made any better if those losing seasons happen under the current leadership?

If those things are inevitable, then at this point we're just putting it off and putting ourselves through more misery than is necessary.

It's time to rip that Band-Aid.

No, losing is losing. That doesn't mean that jumping into the unknown is any better, so I am not looking forward to it any more than I am looking forward to the rest of this abortion of a season. We went from John Fox to John Fox II, after all. We went from Hurney to Gettleman, after all. Jumping from one mediocre coach to another and one mediocre GM to another won't make me happy. It will just be more of the same.

It's really just about be not having much faith that whatever we as a franchise decides to do, it will actually improve anything. But, I'm a fan, so once we get the new people I will be back and brushing off my "Wait 'Till Next Year" gear. But I am definitely not happy about any of this. I don't want to have to hire new coaches or GM's because it means that we kept up the Carolina Panthers historic trend of being mediocre. Pretty hard to get pumped.

I'd point out two things.

The first, as has been said before, the unknown may be scary and forbidding, but it's still a better choice than that what you know to be bad.

And two, at least it's not Jerry Richardson making those choices.

Yeah well neither of those things are really true yet. 

We have no idea whether this next chapter is going to be better or worse and we have no idea whether Tepper is going to be able to put together a better franchise than Jerry did. 

That's really my point, we don't know any of this. It's exactly why I am not jumping for joy and just waiting to see how this all shakes out. It could be a dramatic success and push our franchise into the future with new life, it could literally be the same old, mediocre Carolina Panthers that we have known since 1995 or it could be the dawn of the New Redskins, a completely hopeless and hapless franchise with no sign of any change at all.

I want to believe that it will all get better but I have ~25 years of history that is making me not approach this with hope but trepidation. It's not like we haven't seen all this before.

We don't know, but I'll take that gamble over staying where we are now 10 times out of 10.

I don't disagree with that but I'm not making an argument against moving on, I'm explaining why I am not at all looking forward to it. 

If I could fast forward and see some quality hires at either GM or HC, I'd be right back to being optimistic. Until that happens, I'm going to remain pessimistic.

They've beat:

The Bengals, twice
The Browns, once out of two meetings
The Dolphins
The Chargers
The Rams
The Colts

Hardly anything to brag about.
 

It is when you overcome all the injuries to their key players....sure beats the hell out of losing to the Falcons by 20+ and being dominated by the Redskins

Fair enough.

I guess the way I look at it is that even if the next few seasons are rough, I'll have hope that they can get better.

Right now, I have none.

      Carolina Panthers a Wild Card Team?

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      It's just a talking head.  Talking about gambling. If anybody takes the under on 4.5 wins, they're most likely losing their money.   So he's only saying if you want to bet on a possible sleeper, take the over.  It's not rocket science.  Pathetic that so many on the huddle have reduced themselves to posting purely trash every time they hit the submit button.

      I mean I think the best case scenario has to hit for the Panthers and everyone else in the NFCS has to hit their worst case scenario.  Personally, I think this is the year that NO finally collapses and I think they finish 4th in the division regardless.  ATL is overrated but still likely a 6-9 win team. TB plays tough football, their defense will be there but their success depends on the offense, they too are a 6-9 win team.  The Panthers are probably 4-6 wins at best. If they find some sort of momentum during the season and get 7-8 wins, and TB and ATL struggle then maybe but I find it very unlikely.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By 45catfan · Posted

      We screwed up a couple years ago taking Bryce in the first place.  Nobody held a gun to our head to jump from #9 to #1.  Most people who keep up with draft news knew this 2024 QB class was loaded and we should have waited, which I advocated. It was a dumb move and I knew it.  Now we have to roll with Bryce another year.  That's fine, because this 2025 class isn't that great.  I like Ewers, but not super high on him.  If Bryce shows improvement, which I think he will, that should get him at least one more season before we have to decide on if he's the permanent answer or not.  I've said before, the 2026 draft is the next window for a franchise QB if Bryce isn't the answer. Bryce gets this year and next at a minimum.
