At least the Saints are putting all that empty cap space to use after missing on Watson. The Panthers just sitting on their millions. Are we trying to handicap ourselves going into the season?

I would be very surprised if there is not a very strong order from Tepper not to spend that cap. I'll be hard enough as it is to get a decent new head coach once Rhule is gone, but with lots of cap and a promise of a last say over the roster at least you can make a case.

Didn't Tepper already come out and say just a few weeks ago that Thule is safe this season plus next season and maybe the season after. I don't think Tepper has one single intention of firing our idiot coach anytime soon so I don't think it is about attracting a coach here having cap.

No need to get nervous. We already have a mediocre, unreliable wide receiver on the roster.   This box is checked.

He said it takes 5 years to build a winner, maybe 6. This is just a sad attempt at managing expectations after his flop with Rhule but IMO doesn't necessarily mean Rhule himself is guaranteed to get that long.

He is gaming us. If we start to win this statement makes all the sense. "It was just a matter of time"

If we suck, Rhule is gone and we will get the "You always want to believe but what my business taught me is that sometimes you got to be willing to take a loss and move on".

It’s a waste to just spend cap space you can rollover. We wasted $100M plus and a bunch of draft picks trying to compete the last two years and got 5 wins a year. Maybe the dolts finally realized we need to develop a team and day 2 picks are important and an OL is important and wasting money on mediocre vets doesn’t work.

Signing a couple decent OL (instead of shitty ones) made sense. Splurging on Mathieu and Landry does not.

This is the right path.  If Corral isn’t the answer they can take another swing at qb next year.  Build the core and we will get there.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
