Two years ago, the canes dumped what everyone thought was their best scorer in jeff skinner right before the season started. Team hadnt sniffed the playoffs in ten years. That team looked like the Checkers on paper. Fast forward to a conference championship appearance and getting screwed out of a cup. Roddy was able to get the most out of his guys when the team seemed to be tanking to move. Kind of the same thing is happening here. Although the dead cap space releases are baffling

Canes have done an amazing job building and really are setup to be a top 5-10 team for atleast a decade to come. Great drafting in later rounds and some really amazing contracts. Also got lucky and won lottery to get Svechnikov 2nd overall. 
 

Not sure Panthers have done any of that. Could start next year by getting Lawrence or Fields like the Canes getting Svechnikov, but we gotta tank/suck to do that. Can’t get lucky in a draft lottery like the NHL.

We were before we brought Hurney back.

We were much better with DG but he still had some serious miscues, both in the draft and contract wise... Kalil, Benjamin, Funchess, Butler, KK contract, etc.

Ya for sure but overall he had a well oiled machine.
 

Hurney for the past two years has been literally just 1 season plug and playing random parts. You saw where that got us and he’s doing it again. The difference this season is there is no machine to build around. 
 

Sidenote: I’m just happy the canes get to rest up and get over some of those injuries. Ugh.

Big changes bring uncertainty.

But in the NFL, things can turn around quickly. Lots of new players and coaches means new dynamics. With all the moving parts, you don't really know what you're going to get until you see some on-field action.

We could surprise early - sure. Or we could struggle mightily. That's the excitement of the unknown. (for me, at least)

The difference is the Canes have one hell of a prospect system. Had great cap space, and awesome draft capital.

They are without a doubt one of the smartest run small market organizations in sports since the ownership/gm/coaching change.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
