I want you to give this crew a good hard look:

Yes, they're kind of fishy.  But, ignoring the posturing and Cam exit, most of the angst I'm seeing is this idea that we're somehow going to be mediocre instead of awful therefore will not get Fields, Lawrence or Newman. 

I implore you to consider something.  We've really just gone out and landed this guy...

The rest FA signings are middling younger guys with potential.  Maybe a few work out but holy hell, we have holes galore.

Now Teddy has managed games in his career, never had a bad season per se, is 22-12 as a starter...but fact is this team is completely stripped to the bare bones and we're still going to be really bad. 

I understand the Tepper frustration, us wondering why Hurney is still f*cking here, and why we played the Cam situation out like we did, but folks, we're still going to suck.  This "Teddy signing means we'll be mediocre and it's a long-term failure" mindset is so silly.  We're paying him in the bottom third in salary for a starting QB and in his two full seasons starting couldn't throw for over 14 touchdowns.  We basically have CMC, Moore and Burns.  That's our best talent. 

The plan is coming together...

But at least look at the promise in the following...

I have 2 wishes:

(1) Hurney is in fact demoted after the draft

(2) We do NOT draft Justin Herbert or Jake Fromm. 

But jeez louise, get a grip.  Tepper is making things weird and we all wonder how Hurney can weasel around everything in this organization, but this team will still be crap and we'll have a good shot at a top-5 2021 pick.  If not, it clearly means we've got some promising young coaches.

I've explained this in other threads already...

Bridgewater either proves he is a QB you can build around or not...

The team still loses because we don't have a good roster right now.. And there is always a slow start when dealing with new coaching... So we will still have a top 5 pick...

Next 2 offseason our cap situation is amazing...

Our division has nothing but old QB'S now.. In 3 years we could be in the dominant position for years..

That's my optimistic view right now..

Yeah, creating a loser in the NFL is great. It's sooooo easy to come back from a cluster fug in the NBA....oops

We're screwd

So we are either pissed we’re going to be mediocre and miss out on the QBs or pissed that we’re going to suck.
 

We’re obviously not going to be good either way so I just want to understand why people think we’re set for failure beyond a rebuild. You guys can say how much other posters suck but never explain your actual outlook on the team.

i think we’re at the stage where everyone is just mad at everyone because the team has basically been blown up.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      Trying to do anything I got to?  I don't like the way he says that. I want him to work out, but the more I learn about him, the more he seems to just not have that elite mindset.  Would love to be proven wrong. On the last highlights from camp I watched, he still wasn't tucking the ball correctly to run.  He adjusted, but I want that type of thing to be automatic, not something he has to think about.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.
