Smoke and mirrors defense

Seems to be a trend with this bunch. They never rise to the occasion and all the hype. They are average (at best). 

All the money spent on the secondary and they still get burned on a regular basis. The pass rush disappears from game to game and JAG running backs slash them up.

Is Snow's schemes at fault or is the talent over rated.....or both. I don't see them as a top defense.

With the exception of Gilmore, which was a cheap move, every move they've made this season has been to set us up better for next season. This season was never supposed to be great.

This team is trying to win while rebuilding. But we are still rebuilding.

If they keep Ruhle around they are going to be “rebuilding” every year that bozo is on the sideline

When you can get 8-9 yards per rush like Washington did today it doesn’t matter what the rest of the defense is doing. Panthers got absolutely worked in the run game and it opened up everything else they did. Heinecke played efficient football and has clearly gotten better than his time on the Panthers, but the run defense is the Achilles heel and teams that can just put a man on a man and block, the Panthers don’t have the size to win. This defense is too small on the edges to compete.

Hog Mollies. Need more. Go back to 4-3 you can't rebuild with a bunch of undersized guys. You'll have a little success but not for long.

Rhule couldn't get the biggest fastest strongest guys so he relied on tweeners and overcomers.

The NFL game favors BIG guys especially up front or rushing the QB.

Hahahaha please tell me what what the fug sending a draft pick for gilmore who won't be here next year does for the future? Trading a good te and draft picks for a corner thatd rather focus on a rap career does for the future? Foh apologist. Tepper wants to win now and this staff is stuck in the big east.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
