String of hard Sundays coming in 2020

[Jmac]

The fact that the Panthers team we have known is no more, has sunk in. Time to prepare for that reality. How will you deal with the inevitable 2020 season that may be the toughest since 2010. In fact, 2021 and 2022 may very well be a bunch of tough Sundays.

Do you follow another team in another division while our team gets back on it's feet (while still being faithful to the Panthers and what team will you root for while the rebuilt is on?) Are you all ready to stand by the Panthers while they get it together? 

Empty stadium and low expectations on the arisen for the near future...we will need to keep this forum as positive as possible, while this transition plays out .For all our stress levels, drinking to excess, and sanity.

My second team is the Dolphins... Gonna be a lot of bad Sundays to come

I just yelled motherfuger over and over again...my wife was like what is going on.  I told her Luke just quit the team or retired at age 28. She walked out of the room. No sympathy for me???

 

Motherfuger!!!

Reality of everything in life I guess....change is inevitable.

i couldn't have picked a better time to schedule filming a movie

Really not much will change for me, I will ride  around with the wife in the convertible on nice sundays and others watch the games unless it sucks and then find something else to do.

The Sundays were already hard, now there's just going to be a new staff.

I'm an eternal optimist, but Rhule is going to earn his money if he can turn this around

Removing Kuechly (and probably Cam unfortunately) leaves us going into 2020 with objectively the worst roster on paper in the NFL.  

We have only one true "blue-chip stock" player going into 2020 in CMC.  I take this to be a player who is arguably one of the 5 best at his position in the NFL.

For reference, you could argue in 2015 we had 10 (Newton, Olsen, Stewart, Kalil, Norwell, Turner, Short, Kuechly, Davis, and Norman).

All the good coaching in the world can't change that fact.  It's going to take several great drafts to replenish that level of talent b/c teams very rarely let a "blue-chip stock" player go.

Maybe guys like Burns, Shaq, DJ, and Bradberry can make a leap.  Maybe Turner can return to form, and Little and Moton can be decent tackles. 

It's just depressing right now to think about how much needs to change for the Panthers to once again have a SB caliber roster.

We already had the 2nd worst defense in the NFL (and one of the worst run defenses in NFL history) WITH a healthy Luke

I think you are being overly dramatic. We play Cam or sign Dalton and just make marginal defensive upgrades with the coaching upgrades we have = already an 8-8 team at the least

Well there is always the hurricanes. My wife will be happy because we can do more important things like making me go shopping or going to the zoo for the 100th time. 

[AggieLean]

Guess I’ll start back going to church. That, and do more fishing. My elder next door neighbor and I can stand outside and talk more on weather proofing our fences, and whether or not we’ve seen any snakes in our yards. There will be no need for me to rush in the house 

[Daddy_Uncle]

I'm not going to stress over a sport. Something that effects my life in no way. I'm so excited for the future of our organization and I'm going to ride out the process to turn us around and make us great every season 

[AggieLean]

Well, all y’all sticking it out come and get the rest of us when we’ve built up a decent team again.
