String of hard Sundays coming in 2020

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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

    • Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement. 
    • Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players
    • This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
