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

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
