Desperate times call for desperate measures

So, exactly how long has it been since this team had a legitimate roster, complete with a serviceable O-line, and a QB you could actually hang a loss on? Cam Newton, 2015 season? 

It's been 6 fugging years since this team was almost whole and complete? It's been 6 years since the last time there weren't glaring holes on the roster, like an O-line, or DBs, or a running game, a franchise QB?

6 fugging years since a fan could sit down, watch a game and know that the only reason the Panthers should lose is because they get outscored. Not because they have no O-line, no running game, no DBs, etc. and all the other good reasons this team lost games.

2017 was a pretty legit team as well.

And that ONE year was an anomaly.

gotta just roll with PJ, he compliments a run heavy offense with his legs 

Did you not see him fall flat on his face when he had a very wide open lane to run in?

It needs to be made into a gif with Benny Hill music, or Three Stooges "wub wub wub wub" or some silly "doink bonk" noises.

I'd love to see what he has, tbh.  It's not like PJ is our answer at backup let alone starter.

Ofc if Darnold is ready that's a moot point.

Someone spent a decent Draft pick on Morgan. Nobody drafted Walker.

I'd much rather see Morgan on Sunday.

What do you consider to be a 'franchise' QB?

In my opinion there's only like 10 of them in the game - everyone else you're always trying to upgrade. 

This team is much better than it was under the last years of Rivera - he and Hurney left us dead in a ditch. It looks like he's taking Washington to the same ditch now.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
