We had Rivera and Hurney in 2019.

Just a talking perception to the outside world.  it’s understandable for them to be down on us.  

So what gets us out of the 5 win territory for an outsider?  Rhule and some GM no one knows is? Sam Darnold? 

I’m not arguing we are bottom 6.  Just I get people putting us there.

It's just lazy, but sadly that's the state of journalism these days.

mahomes just threw a red zone INT, so i can see the similarity between he and PJ now.

Chad henne had way better stats than mahomes tonight.  We should offer kc a 3rd rounder for mahomes.  They probably want to dump him to avoid a qb controversy.

If we go 8-9 this year I will be thrilled because that is literally the Matt Rhule trajectory and with young talent too. (Also means @Toomers loses his bet 😂)

The roster doesn't have as many holes like people think it does it just doesn't have the depth that is needed to make it to February but it doesn't have the experience to be a 10+ win team)

Everyone has a chance…

but if forced to name 6 teams I would think most fans outside Carolina would slot us in the 6.  Hard to get overly insulted there. 

We were the 8th worst team last year, why would you think we’ve gotten worse? Seriously, we’re going to have to cut some really good players to get down to 53. Not to mention our schedule isn’t exactly loaded.

Yeah we were the 8th worst team, but remember we lost CMC. Our roster is also better than last season due to maturing younger players and our new draft picks and free agents. We've also upgraded the QB position in the eyes of Fitterer, Rhule, Brady, and our other key staff members. We're also in the cap sweet spot of only having a moderate cap hit for key players like CMC $6.8 million, DJ Moore $3.5 million, and Sam Darnold $4.7 million. That is dirt cheap compared to the insane cap hit they are going to cause next season.

Taking into account these factors and a few others I would say we'll have a better record than last season. I don't see us making the playoffs unless Sam goes out there and throws hot fire and burns this league down.

8 wins seems realistic if Sam is average. If Sam is poop then we could do worse than last season. The wait is almost over. Do we have an 8-9 type QB, or a superstar in the making? Almost there.

Yea we tied for 7th with two other teams lol. Whoopie.

However one of those teams now has their franchise qb and best prospect in quite some time. Jags.

I personally think the Bengals will be better. Falcons too. Raiders well.

I think the garbage teams for next year will be the Jets, Lions, Broncos, and Texans.

After that…the Eagles.

Then the Panthers. So yea, if I had to guess right at 6 next year.

I’m also curious who ranks at the bottom the past three years averaged….pretty sure we are def bottom 6 then.

The Jags and Jets needed a whole lot more than a QB to improve. 


The Bengals will probably be better, but then again, they are the Bengals.


The Falcons, IMO, got worse by trading away Julio and drafting Funchess 2.0.

The Raiders… Chucky and Daffy, enough said.

The Texans might go winless, The Broncos have Shanahan, the offensive genius expecting his QB to be Jesus. 
 

We are trending up! Ridding ourselves of bloated contracts, using the draft to build depth and using free agency as a short time fix. KEEP POUNDING!!

In 2019 we had CMC….and only won 5 games too.  And we had Luke and those vets then.  CMC doesn’t overcome not having QB play.  

I covered qb play---I am not assuming that we do not have it now.  I said, "They are basing their opinion of Darnold on his play with the Jets."

We shall see.  Tonight is going to be interesting.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

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

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
