And posters need to lay off of the hand wringing posts about how ‘historically we do bad after a bye or a long week’ since this is a new regime and so far they’ve bucked the bad trends of the Rivera era. 
 

Excited to see what our guys can do with the extra rest and planning. 

Agreed.  Rhule is more like Bellicick than Rivera in this regard

I don't know how good they are yet.  I will reserve opinions until after tonight.

I am concerned about their WRs now with Horn out.    Need pass rush to dominate.

 

But the extra few days to prepare and recover from injury will absolutely help.   They have less time to study our defense and will be banged up from Monday night.

Going to be good…or bad…it will be the Panthers first match up against a legitimate team.

You don't think the Saints are legitimate? 

They dominated against Green Bay and New England!

Yea they beat GB and NE…that’s the point. The team we played was not that team. With the issues they had, no.

They literally had so many coaches out some scrub was calling subs and doing 10 other things he had no clue how to do.

Of course, are the Panthers legitimate without CMC and Horn? Meh, debatable. But one could look at last year when CMC was down (and everyone said we will be fine) and no Horn and a much better oline (shockingly). Seems we have a better qb though, but it was sad. I am not as optimistic as some without cmc with this oline. I think shits about to get bad and this place will implode.

In a COVID year everything is patchwork like last year so what’s considered legitimate or not will be very fluid and different from any other year, but in general, no, I don’t consider the Saints team the Panthers played legitimate. That team would be 0-3.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
