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

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

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

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
