If we get fuged on some sort of lottery, I am gonna be livid. fug the Hornets all you want, they will screw up any draft pick but don't fug the goddamn Panthers. Especially when Hurney actually doesn't fug up a high draft pick.

A nfl lottery would be a nightmare

I think we win 2-4 games.  Want them to win more cause I’m an optimistic and unapologetic homer. Realize they might not get the franchise QB prospect but take responsibility for the personality flaw if it exists.  I’m a fan of the team and the goal is to win.  

I did not want any part of this "rebuilding process" because I knew it was going to suck. I have accepted the fact that we are going to be terrible, so I am mentally prepared for 2-4 wins. The only thing I am left hoping is that eating poo for these next few years is worth it. If we land an elite QB prospect after year one of sucking.......this could go really well.

Or we get a QB prospect and spend 3-4 years developing him only to realize that he is not the answer.  Then we have to start over again

Best case:  Teddy plays great and shows he is a franchise QB and we build around him.

Other Best case:  We play bad enough to draft one of the top 3 QBs without having to trade up.

Worst Case:  Teddy is average and we find a way to win enough games to not be able to draft one of the top 3 QBs.

Yeah but what other real hope is there at this point? It's fun to hope that our merry band of young guys and journeymen is going to develop into New England dynasty but that isn't very likely. We are likely to find out we have a small core of highly talented guys to build around and the rest are largely JAG's or players that are going to be out of the league in 3-4 years.

Not really so much different than a typical bad NFL team but we willingly embarked on this venture, so some of it we just have to accept. We could also just as easily flounder along with 5-9 win seasons and never really accomplish much more than we have historically. I would rather eat poo big and have a chance at finding "the guy" than meander along in mediocrity forever and just hope we catch lightening in a bottle. 

But, of course, any time you are searching for a franchise QB, it's a crap shoot. I'm in the camp that just doesn't ever see Bridgewater being a franchise QB. He's been on multiple franchises that didn't see it(one obviously due to a horrific injury) and there aren't many stories of journeyman QB's that suddenly ascend to franchise QB status.

I am extremely worried about that Worst Case. That would be a disaster.

yep. And keeping in mind we are basically replacing our entire oline sans moton provided we can sign him.  We are a ways away no matter what anyone thinks.  

Yeah, I get the positivism from some of the fans. I completely understand why you want to think the best. But, we need to be realistic about what we are as a franchise right now. Being realistic isn't hatred towards the players, coaches, team, etc. It's unfair to saddle them with higher than reasonable expectations because that will definitely turn fans against them.

I don't blame Rhule or the players for what is likely to transpire. It is what it is. We have to build from somewhere. What you want to see is that we play hard, compete no matter the beatings we take, a young core shows potential to build around and that we appear to at least have a cohesive idea of what we want to do on a game to game basis. 

I don't want to see a bunch of games where we get the fuging doors blown off of us. I don't want to see that the players have visibly checked out. I don't want to see coaching or playcalling that indicates we don't know what the fug we are doing. I don't want to see the talented young players already on our team regress badly.

If we can avoid those things and the vision for the future becomes clear, I don't care if we only win 1-4 games. We aren't built to win now. We are built to BUILD now.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
