Let me ask you guys, what makes you think Stafford would want to come to the Panthers?

I just don't see it

He is from the south.  College ball at GA.  The Carolinas are nicer than Detroit.   No snow. Cost of living is good. 

and we had 3 WRs go over 1000 total yards last year...and CMC.  No team will offer a better set of skill position players. 

that’s the pitch.

Let's see

Lions:

Just now blowing up and starting over with a new regime.  

Little to no weapons

Defense, no young core pieces that have stood out.

 

Panthers:

Already began the rebuild 

#1 RB in the NFL

#2 WR that's better than Detroit's #1

3 key young core defensive players under the age of 23

I agree that we are one year ahead of Detroit, but I would argue that Robby is on par with Golladay, and the latter is only 27. CMC might be RB1, but Swift will be a top-8 back in the NFL very, very soon...the kid is dangerous.

If I'm Matt Stafford, Carolina isn't moving the needle for me when there's teams like Pittsburgh, Indy, and SF that are so much closer than us.

If I were Stafford, I would be less than impressed

Golladay is a FA and may not even be back in Detroit next season.

 

Its Hard to project Swift to be a top 8 back soon.  He wasnt even a top 3 back from his own rookie class this season when healthy.  So needs to pump the brakes there

Ok. Do the pitch of a team we are competing with.   Outside of SF and Pitt...we got a decent offer and I don’t know how thirsty they really are for a QB.

We weren’t very close heading into the 2003 season or the 2015 season.  No one we calling that. 

this mantra of we are way off still doesn’t fly.  We are missing QB play.   You get that and you can bandaid the holes on D.  

Tampa went out and bought the best roster.  The rest of the NFC? They all got issues on their rosters too.

If we're talking teams on the cusp/playoff ready without a QB, then you look to LAR, Indy & NO.  There's no way in hell they're shipping him to Chicago.

Otherwise, we're in a much better spot than WFT, Philly, NE, HOU, DEN.  Though if I had to guess, think Denver gets him at the end of the day.  He's very much the type they look for.

I think a team like Indy would be in the catbird seat for Stafford’s services. They’re a QB shy of being in the playoffs again and Reich is a QB’s guru and good HC.

Indy?  went 11-5 and QB just retired.  Patriots? WFT?  Denver?

There are plenty of teams you could see Stafford as a good upgrade and from the outside looking in we don't look as appealing as a lot of the fans on this forum think.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
