No way we’re not in top 7 teams even when a good qb I’m sorry

Did you watch the games? How many times was the defense balling out but the offense couldn't score so we eventually lost. That was damn near all of them.

If the defense is close to last year's, we've actually got more weapons on offense especially and oddly at the WR position a luxury Cam never had. DJ,Robby,Marshall,CMC,Hubbard, Thomas you add an NFL level QB and we've got a playoff team.

Add an above average QB and we could instantly challenge for the NFCS, so yes while your pessimism is noted your underestimation is in error. The Panthers, with the Oline additions etc. literally are an above average QB away from competing, as long as the new coordinators, QB aren't over-Rhuled.

Now if you're specifically calling out Rhules propensity to f' stuff up then maybe I can agree with that statement. The coach IS this teams biggest weakness. He's been that since the first off-season.

I think the oline is getting better not great, but the defense got worse imo. Hey I could be wrong, and hope I am but we’ll see. Rams, TB, Packers, 49ers, Cowboys, Arizona, Eagles would be my top 7 and I could name three other teams better than us. I don’t think we’re even top 10. You really think we’re better than any of those 7 teams, I say no way even with a vet qb. Rookie qb definitely not

We had the #21 defense last year. Then we lost our sack leader and two of our top three CBs. We've added some mid to low tier FAs. The result is going to be a top 5 D?

And let's not forget, Panthers have the worst HC not fired after the 2021 season.

WE CAN FINALLY BREATH NOW, Matt Rhule is now only 1-6 against coaches that have been fired this week… which means that he has a better record against fired coaches than he does his last 7 games of the season (0-7)

Anyone still wondering why the Panthers are voted "least likely to succeed in 2022 hasn't been paying attention.

The only chance we really have to get in the playoffs is for the rest of the NFCS to suck worse than we do. That's a possibility with the falcons and saints. Tampa.... Only if Brady's age catches up with him. 

We'll be set up better than last year, but the biggest thing is coaching. We're set up better than last year, but the guy at the top is the weak link. He just happens to be the most important link.

Depending on who we get at QB, we'll stumble into a better record. Playoffs might happen, but it would be a fluke.

Our defense looked good until we faced heavy run teams. We got abused. We got found out and then trans started capitalizing on them at weakness. We were built to fight the pass at the expense, apparently, of the run game. Looks like we're trying to fix that, but I'm afraid we'll be still be out coached and the offense will still make the defense work to hard. This defense needs an offense more than Rhule realized. It needs NFL experienced coaching more than Tepper realized.

Yeah this is true too. We definitely need better containment at the point of attack. Hopefully burns will improve in that aspect. 

And yeah, rhule has to go. He could win us the super bowl, and I'd be like.. Gotta go

      It's crazy with how much winning was going on when we had a little cool off period that we're still just a couple games out of 6th. Moussa is getting better every week and Coby is getting comfortable. Would be nice to get to 6 but I think this team is a lot more stacked than the last couple play ins. I can't remember the exact rules but if you're 7th seed and win the first game I think you automatically move on and don't have to play the second game?

      I think it was a thing for sure. Panthers weren’t too many people’s first choice. Or 5th choice.  2022 and 2023… coaches fired mid season. Consecutive years. You want any of that?  He has definitely overseen a rehab of how the Panthers are perceived. Because we are a place that is seen as up and coming. And just the little thing of he accommodated Theilen so graciously, that gets noticed. It all adds up. Dan is doing a lot of things right, probably most things.  Needs a good draft.

      K, I think that is dumb, but you do you. I didn't find anything online that made him out to be a dislikable person. I am certain the Panthers would have cared so much if they lost your fandom if they hired Sean Payton. But bet you would have come crawling back if Sean lead us to a Super Bowl victory or Golden leads UNC to a champion ship. It is easy to say you are gonna leave a team if the hire someone you dislike when the chips are down. But people like you tend to come crawling back once the team finds success.
