In a way thats a bad thing. 

How?

Realistically, the start of this teams competitive window opens next year if they’re able to take another step forward this season.

This year you want to see 7-9 wins. 7 wouldn’t be the best of leaps but it’s progress. Pending on how we lose those games I suppose. 

Next year you want to see them flirting with one of those wildcard spots or just sneaking in.

Then we’ll have all these rookies going into year 3 ready to make a real push hopefully.

Means you have a weak roster. This is a perception deal. Also if you use 11 picks you want all of them to make the team rather than 5 of them. Still when 10 rookies make your NFL team its good/bad.

I think the 2022 draft needs to be another 2021 one....... its hurts badly thats theres no 2nd, 4th, 6th and maybe 7th(kicker)....yea Finesserererere can trade back to pile picks......but this team needs talent not ten 6th round lottery tickets. 

*If all gos well, team is another year off....thats one big IF...two MORE years maybe the correct solution.

I remember at least noticing some good play by everyone except Nixon.  Did he play well in the preseason and I didn't notice or remember?  I know there was a lot of hype around him.

At the moment Nixon looks the part (i.e. he's a freak athlete for the position), but he needs to work on his technique. Too often he was getting...well I don't want to say stonewalled by the OL as he had disengaged and was looking to make a play on our side of the line of scrimmage, but he wasn't getting much penetration. 

We'd be stupid to cut him - let him rotate in and spend the rest of his time refining his game. 

I still think he's going to be a good player for us.

We won 5 games last year and prior to the season most predicted we’d finish with 1-2 wins. Many said we had the worst roster in the league. So of course we have a weak roster. 

But in order to rebuild the roster you need to hit on your draft picks. Not only does it seem like they’ve drafted well but they also traded back a ton and found 10 guys. That’s a huge step forward in terms of rebuilding this roster.

This takes time.

Not meaning to poop on fans hopes, just playing the asss role about this. 10 rookies on a weak roster doesnt mean they are hits. If you look at my history (plenty still on the first page via draft forum), I thought days after this class maybe the best in 26 panther years. Im trying to hold back those feelings, doing the same for you/others.  My rule is 2nd FULL off-season before I judge rookies*unless cut or 1st all-pro.....The LS was a mistake and I hope NFL doesnt look into the BS IR of Tommy boy... 

This is a big year for Rhules build, I hope he does start something that has a long lasting winning tradition. I do see why hes lost hair and almost a full grey as well, I hope to be impressed this year.....

Yeah totally, I get what you’re saying. You’re right though, this is a big year for Rhule and this rebuild.

After a couple decades of 1 and done drafts, this is strange and foreign to me.  
 

You’re telling me, we could have added more than 1 rookie at a time?

I don’t know sounds like a bunch of hooey, a fad, like this spider net or web world or whatever the kids are playing checkers on these days.  Slackers.

Notable one & done drafts over the last 15 years with two honorable mentions. Only listing the one standout

2005 ‐ Thomas Davis
2009 - Captain Munnerlyn(yes our 7th rounder)
2011 - Cam Newton
2014 ‐ James Bradberry

*2019 - Brian Burns (Dennis Daley is our last hope)
*2008 Jonathan Stewart subject to debate based upon your opinion of Godfrey and Otah

Wasn't Bradberry 2016?

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      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.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
