Relax and look at it.

We have injuries that we are just not experienced enough or deep enough to over come. 

I thought this team would be around 9-8, maybe 10-7 trying to snag last wild card spot, so we are not far off from that.

OC Brady is still learning how to call and adjust calling plays at the NFL level. He'll get there and probably won't get a HC this year.

Darnold is learning an entirely new offense and system (again) so that takes time. I think teams are figuring out of offense as we haven't fully installed the whole playbook, especially without CMC. 

There are times we look like rookies and 2nd year players, it takes time to gel. 

Fans in the stands. Against the Eagles it was embarrassing as Eagles fans were louder than Panther fans. Even the Vikings game, we didn't get loud till the end. Fans at BofA need to be always loud when the other team is on offense. We need to create hime field advantage and we don't.

I hope and believe it's all small things causing the avalanche. Hopefully with a few small adjustments, some guys step it up and a few guys come back from injuries, we can start playing consistently good. 

We weren't winning the Super Bowl in 2022. 2023 and beyond is when we were really looking at starting to compete for the playoffs. Anything close this year is a bonus. 

Big picture. We're not that good but getting better and need a little more time.

I am more concerned with how we went about this offseason. I liked trading around and getting more picks, but why trade for Sam but not bring any real line help. They brought a bunch of jag's and drafted a few projects. We should have built the line and then got a QB next year.

Yep, that about sums it up, OP. This year is bonus round stuff, but I'm still not sold on the idea that we can't be competitive. We're going to be having some quality players coming back from injuries in the coming weeks. And we still have a soft schedule ahead of us.

A win or two in the short term can do a lot to getting us back to right.

I was at both the Eagles and Vikings games. Inability to stay loud is not the fans’ fault. It’s this team. No fan is going to keep making noise when the defense will just let us up. I can’t scream and make noise on a 11 plays drive.

There seems to be this go lucky happy post every year about this team.  'shucks guys we're going in the right direction!' and then the team never steps up.  Tired of the narrative we are 'just a few players/plays away!' 

 

Should change the name to the Carolina Almost's.

Just need it for 3rd down. Music/audio/announcer stops at 20 seconds and the drop off is HUGE.

I didn't say they were a few players away. Too many new and young players in a  new system expected to win right a way? When ever you start over, you have to give it time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Most times it's injuries that change the fortunes of a team. If Cam never hurt his shoulder, I wonder where we would have been the last few years. Major changes in 2 years during Covid protocols. Everybody wants to win and say they follow a winner. Hopefully we'll get out turn in the near future.

We ended the 2019 season with arguably the NFL's worst roster. Did you really expect this team to be competitive last year and this year?

Speaking of music, why were y'all playing a song during the game about a "viking warrior" while we were playing the vikings?

I heard it on TV and thought, "why the hell are they playing that song today?"

I think we just want to know there's a plan in place and that it's getting executed on. 

I think the Darnold trade is starting to look bad.  If we were losing but he was performing, I would feel better than having a huge ? at the position after having given up a 2nd and a 4th round pick in next year's draft.

      What Carolina Panthers can learn from Justin Jefferson contract

      By jayboogieman · Posted

      140 million with over 36 million in signing bonus for 4 years. 110 million guaranteed. Resets the WR market. States the Panthers whole WR core costs less than 25 million a year while Jefferson will be getting 35 million a year. Wonders where teams will start looking to go cheap with having to pay QBs and WRs so much now. They didn't mention how much edge rushers are getting and how that adds to the trouble of building a roster.

      Albert Breer talks about Dave Canales

      By Basbear · Posted

      Very Odd, seems someone is lying about the "love" between Seattle and canales.  I did read some about B.johnson and he said he wanted a stable good job and that 5 out 8 teams that filled this past season, will be open again in three years. I somewhat get his point, but he's lost millions the past two years waiting. Plus great job are never open cause great team don't fire their HCs. He put lots of time and sweat into the lions and wanted to enjoy the good times longer.    I do think tepper made other coaches not want to be here. That all-star staff had as you stated had connections around the league and coaches are no different when someone contracts them and goes " How was it Carolina ??'.... " Love the area, hated the work environment/owner". They did get Brian Callahan to interview and had a 2nd one lined up, but in just one interview titans hired him. I'd much rather had him or just name evero HC instead.  Nobody wanted Ron Rivera either and he interviewed everywhere. No one wants this job..... even the jags got recent SB winning Doug Peterson.... I truly think Carolina coaching rep is in the dump and they fuged up waiting for Callahan. Panic move. This is my pure guess too, Jim Caldwell is the acting/real HC and canales is the OC.

      I go back to the hole the Panthers put themselves in and his positive track record with getting production from ‘problem’ QBs. Which, we have one.  I go to the idea people were putting forth on these younger HC prospects - that maybe you take a guy early and let him grow and give him all the help you can. Like a QB go figure. I think that is pretty much where it is right now. I think Canales could be good.
