It was flawed from the start. Especially the defense. The personnel didn’t match the scheme at all. Something brought up repeatedly last off-season. The OL was very questionable, particularly Williams at LT. Or anyone else. But no one listens to anything that isn’t what they want to hear. 

  As I said......right on the Panther’s ass. 

Eh......it is what it is. Nothing can be done about it now.

As annoying, meddling and brash as Tepper may be.  I truly think he has a plan to make them contenders in the next few years.  As he's mentioned himself, this will just be a rough year (or 2) and then I wouldn't be surprised at the Panthers reigning the South or being a given in the playoffs for the next 5+.

What core players do you see on this team that indicate that we can be contenders three years from now?

 Doesn’t really matter. It will be almost a 4M cap hit to keep either. 

If gano is cut we would save about 1.3 mil this season and 3.75 mil next season.  But there would be dead cap of 3 mil this year and 1.5 next.  Just because there is dead cap doesnt mean thee isnt cap savings

Personally, I think that's the point.  I think people are getting very caught up in what they see now, and we see often how a team can flip within a few short years in this league.

If the cap space will improve that much, we will sign some of the elite players people clamor for.  Still have CMC, DJ, Burns and likely a few other high 1st round picks to go along with those "splash" signings.  A large part of that equation is Rhule and Brady being as effective as advertised.

For what it's worth I am in no way guaranteeing it.  I just think when you look big picture, he's tearing it all down to build something that he and this coaching staff like for the future.

  Savings off a crap contract? We paid him last year for nothing. We have to pay him more for nothing, or more to play. You can’t act like it’s OK for a PK to cost 10M for half a season, but hey we don’t have to pay him 5.2M in 2021. That’s great. And you wonder why we are in such a mess.

Make a bunch of big free agent signings is how you doom your future, not build for success. Go back and look at all the previous "offseason" winners and their success rates. It's not pretty. 

I agree that this is a building process but it has been torn down to the extent that I don't really see much chance of it being a competitive team for 4-5 years at the earliest. Unless we do go out and become big spenders in free agency, which will likely doom us for the future and repeat the "boom and bust" cycle.

Because I’m lazy and haven’t adjusted yet. But I have been trying. Now, what does that have to do with your laundry list of excuses for everything this team does wrong? Anything else about your team you want to discuss?

   Then why are the Panthers  the only team with 50M of dead cap. And what are all these magical savings. Dead cap is mainly from bad contracts. Which is about all that have been signed in past two years. 
 

     We saved 30M off of Matt Kalil’s awful 5 year contract. Or did we pay 25M for one year of suck. That not saving money. That’s admitting a mistake.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.

      Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me.   You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.
