The Carolina Panthers entered 2020 as the team with by far the most change as any team in the league. Twice as much change as the next highest team on the list. 

 

New coaches. New schemes. New starters at key positions. All during a pandemic where OTAs were not possible, an abridged training camp, and zero preseason games. This team was scotch taped together only a couple months ago. 

 

And guess what?

 

They have played 3 games and have been very competitive in each, winning one. 

 

All in all, I'd say that is pretty fuggin incredible. 

 

Just thought I would offer some Wednesday perspective. 

 

Love,

 

Your MFCEO

I'm honestly not surprised. I was never a big Rivera fan. I always thought he was a mediocre head coach propped up by extremely talented players. Sean McDermott was the real talent in that coaching staff. Look what happened to the defenses after he left.

The game passed him by a long time ago and I'm glad he's coaching another team. Great person, hell of a guy, but not who I would want coaching my favorite team.

This is two-fold though... There has been absolutely zero film on our coaches and many of our players in these schemes. I'm certainly optimistic and tend to take a positive view of it, but game film on our team could certainly become a factor later in the year and in subsequent seasons. The adjustments in game ease my concerns about this tremendously, as that has clearly already been a huge step up from Rivera.

It really is incredible. The amount of no-names/rookies playing on this team is astounding: Trent Scott, John Miller, Chris Reed, Tahir Whitehead, Juston Burris, Rasul Douglas, Stephen Weatherly, Joseph Charlton (I can go on). And they are actually holding their own for the most part. The coaching staff deserves a mega-ton of credit. 

Could y'all imagine if we make the playoffs with this team? It would be movie-worthy

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
