After one game (and a win at that) I'm not ready to give up on this season. Not sure why anyone would and start looking down the road at being competitive next year.

This might be the perfect time for our team. We're young and vastly underestimated. And, for right now, we're healthy across the board. Great run game, high potential in the passing game, defense looks promising and we've got a coach that needs to prove something. That can be a recipe for success.

Let's play this season out and see what happens. It's a longer year than ever before in the NFL and we could find our young team still has legs as the season nears its end and we face our toughest opponents. No one expected our other two Super Bowl runs, so why not hold out a bit of hope this year?

We've got who we've got. And honestly, who we have is a pretty darned good bunch of guys. If the ball falls the right way, that's what you need to win. Win big even. Maybe.

they have had PLENTY of time to build an oline.

people are worried they’re not capable of doing so, and it’s valid.

you won’t be legitimate or go deep in the playoffs without one. it happened a few times in 25 years. And those instance consisted of Peyton Manning, Mahomes (kind of) and Eli Manning going super sayan on the NFL.

personally I’d rather not bet on finding the next Peyton Manning or Mahomes and/or defying NFL history.

I look at this season as a tale of two halves.  We have a favorable schedule to do it.

If we can play well and have a winning record in the first half our team has a chance. 

Our defense will be tighter and really be fun to watch.  Hopefully we find the answers on the offensive line and our offense will click.  Though the 2nd half is a much more brutal schedule our team, if gelling, will compete.

I don't know why people poo on Rivera. He is a good coach. He already has his new team in the playoffs too with journeymen QBs. 

I hated firing Rivera, but I do think he had gotten a little complacent. Anyway I was glad we got rhulr because I think he can build something here. I still think he can do it. I like the defense and I think we will have an oline to go with our high powered offense next year. 

He does need to show a little improvement each year in the win column. 

I wonder why it seems like everyone is attacking rhule today? You would think we lost last week or something.

I dont think anyone is attacking him it's simply a matter of perspective and basic expectations. The word rebuild is a crutch in some ways. We have one of the best offensive weapons in the league a qb with a strong arm and mobility a young defense with many promising pieces in place and a staff that is supposed to be up to the task. If we take care of business against New Orleans you will see more positive takes. Make no mistake that is the first step though. We need to get that off our backs.

This Rivera slander will not stand! He was the best coach we’ve ever had. 2 time NFL Coach of the Year here. Almost no Head Coach stays in one place longer than 10 years. It gets stale. Rivera is an awesome coach though, I don’t think anybody can dispute that. I think Rhule also has the potential to be a great coach. He’s getting there. This is a really good, young team and the future is extremely bright.

For one season, with a losing record and in the worst division in football.

The notion that this is something to brag about is kinda silly.

I'm seeing this team like the Browns and the Bills. Sure, they look quite competitive today but it took them at least three years to finally see results. Moreso, I would argue that we're not even at year 2 just yet because COVID made everything much more difficult and different than any other year. Yes, we still have pieces missing (Uglies, QB if Darnold flames out) but the defense has tons of potential already and the best part is that's it's a lot of young talent. If nothing else, this is not 2010. There are things to look forward to.

We have a generational talent at RB that is in his prime. We need to win soon or we will just have to start another rebuild 3 or 4 years from now.  

Gosh, will there be no good running backs by the end of CMC's rule? Are they ALL GONNA DIE????

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
