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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
