We've been competitive in all our games so far.  My whole thing has been that there is just not enough elite talent to be any good this year.  Rhule and Co. have done an outstanding job of coaching and gameplanning though.  The contrast between Rhule ball and Rivera ball is night and day.

We still need a franchise QB though.

The #30 and below rankings were dumb.  This team may not be good, but we aren’t that bad.  We have some young playmakers and can compete.  That same Chargers team put up a hard fight against the Chiefs 2 weeks ago.  Honestly, I just want to beat ATL for fuging once.  So tired of losing to those chokers.

Biggest thing I’ve noticed so far is that we seem to actually make adjustments.  I felt like a sweet summer song had blessed me when we changed up our game plan.  Feels good man.

We're on the right path.  Another couple years of strong drafts, clearing out all the aging high priced vets to open up cap room, and more coaching up from Rhule and Brady and Co and we will have ourselves an honest to goodness football team in Charlotte.  The future is bright IMO.

I am in the camp that we should tank this year to ensure a shot at one of the top 3 QB's but that does not seem to be in the cards.

Agree 100%.  I like Teddy, and he’s a great transitional QB, but a real franchise QB is what is gonna make the difference (as it usually does).  
 

I have a lot of faith in Rhule and the staff given what I’ve seen with the weird offseason and lack of elite overall talent we have.  They’ve impressed me so far.  I just hope Marty can make some good decisions in the upcoming drafts.  Someone hold me.

This, I have confidence in Rhule and his coaching staff but I don't trust Marty to effectively manage the roster and the cap

I see 5 wins as the most we should expect, based on the schedule.  If we win 6, Snake is going to kiss his own ass.  I have that in writing.  I am going for 6 wins for that reason alone. 

I just wanna watch 4corners eat a handful of live bees.

Or yellow jackets.

Or hornets.

I'm not picky.

How many wins will that take?

I would advise against expecting any wins this season.  Oh sure they will stumble into at least on more but beyond that I'm not "expecting" anything other than my doctor telling me I'm drinking too much to drown the pain of yet another Panthers "rebuild/retool/reload" whatever the hell this is we are watching.

Rhule's philosophy is that you instill it in the players to not give up. He even said in the offseason something along the lines that if the team is 1-15 that they will play like the best 1-15 team, if the team is 7-9 they will play like the best 7-9 team and so on. It shows, we might not have the most talent right now but this team doesn't looks like the current dogshit that you see in the Jets, Giants, Falcons, and Broncos.

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
