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.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
