that we are witnessing the beginning of a dynasty?  Yes, it was sad to win, but to see the way we played--the preparation--and across the field, a lackluster, arms folded coach with everything to play for---it showed me how different Rhule is going to be over Rivera.

I am seeing guys like Franklin, Hartsfield, Zylstra, Haynes, Miller, Taylor, Carter, Cannon, R.Smith, Burris, Scott, etc. playing at a high level--we have 25% of our cap space in dead money and we have--sitting on the sideline with an ice pack---Okung, KK Short, and CMC.  Half of the resources on this team were not on the field today-and they were playing lights out.

Yes I was pissed, but I am also seeing what turned around 2 college programs--I am seeing a motivator's magic.

People will want to play here--Rhule will get the most from the bottom of the roster.  Once we get a few key pieces--like a QB, TE, LT, and maybe a DB or two, I think we will be very good.

On the contrary, I see us bumbling towards NFL purgatory where we consistently bounce between 6-10 and 9-7 for years. 

Sadly, that will be our fate IF we keep Teddy Two Yards at QB and don’t sell the farm for our QB of the future.

I would have never imagined this roster winning 5 games this year with CMC missing most of it. We released/lost so many crucial players and are eating a ton of dead money while playing a lot of rookies. This staff appears to know what it is doing. This offseason will be critical. If we hit on GM and possible QB then we should have the starts of something special.

It's far too early to say 'dynasty', but it's clear that the level of coaching is higher than it's been for over a decade in Charlotte.

The ability this coaching staff has shown to get the most out of the bottom of the roster, turning PS players into decent makeshift starters, is very promising.

The proof will be in the pudding - was the 2020 Draft a fluke, or will we consistently hit on our picks from here on out? We need at least two more good Drafts to be a contender. This roster is devoid of talent.

I see only darkness for the foreseeable future. A malaise covers this team. There is no hope for winning seasons. We will celebrate the 7-9 season when it comes around every 4 or so years. 

 

Capt. Obvious.  More like General Downer

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
