Year Two, or Year One?

Talking about his release, Tre Boston says he was told by the Panthers that it's "rebuilding time".

While that seems like an obvious statement, I still find it kind of interesting that they framed it to him this way. And it brings up a question in my mind.

Matt Rhule is in his second year as head coach, but year one happened with Marty Hurney as GM. Reports said that Marty believed the team could win now rather than just rebuild, which possibly may have led to some of the reported clash between Marty and Rhule.

So with a new GM that shares Rhule's vision now in place, would it be more correct to consider this season year two of the rebuild, or is it really year one?

He will be missed, a lot of people want to tarnish what he brought every Sunday with missed tackles. However, you can't deny he made it fun to watch the Panthers with the energy he brought and being very interactive with us via all social media whether it be football or just something as simple as asking who wants to go play a round of golf. We will miss you Tre and hope nothing but great things in your future.

most of us  hoped for the 3 year plan, but Matt said it would be a 5 year plan.  So here we go.

Still year 2.  I think they probably just said that to Tre to not make themselves look like dicks and straight up tell him that he's being let go because he's not good.  It's not you, it's us...you don't suck, we just need to rebuild.

What I find more interesting is him saying that he'll be back some way shape or form.  Maybe he wants to get into coaching at some point.

A good number of people on here called last year a half-assed effort at rebuilding and complained that we didn't go all in.

Did they have a point?

One thing I'd say is if Rhule and Fitterer really do see this as rebuilding time, that would make the answer to the question of whether Tepper was transitioning from "patience" to "win now" a no.

Hard to say. There's an argument for both. I'd think that the rebuild began peripherally when Rhule was hired. Now with this next free agency and draft, we'll get further into the guts of the rebuild, and then start finishing it off by next offseason, with a working system in full effect by 2023/2024

Yep.

As soon as we signed Teddy, we shot ourselves in the foot by increasing our floor yet having a ceiling of 3rd place staring us down. This should've been torn down, clear the cap, and load up on picks where we could.  There was zero reason to "compete" this year, with so many unknowns, a ton of dead cap, and so many changes. It was time to gain assets and rebuild the "right" way. We failed.  

Now?  We're staring down the barrel of trading the farm for a QB, or stuck in a no-man's land of mediocrity where we'll probably....have to trade up for a QB at some point. And then pray he's the answer.  Our 2020 decisions led this team to slim options, and both require probably trading a ton of capital to answer our QB question. 

Go back in time, tear this thing down, don't sign Teddy.  We're looking at drafting Lawrence or Wilson without a trade up right now, or an easier trade for Watson.  Instead, we're fighting about how many 1st rounders and our future we have to give up.  Hope those couple extra wins and early dreams of Teddy being legit were worth it.

This is good to hear continuing to rebuilt is absolutely the right decision.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
