String of hard Sundays coming in 2020

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

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
