That front 7 is concerning. But there are some talented kids out there. We were 9th in yards per carry last year. If we can maintain that level? We should be good to go.

 

The pass rush is sketchy. But again, there is talent there. So who knows?

 

But yeah, that front 7 could be a problem.

Outside of Shaq, Littleton, Brown, and Burns the rest of the front seven is comprised of a bunch of unknowns, JAGS, and rookies. Hopefully YGM can take a big leap and maybe one of the DT can step up. That D-line is very thin.

I can't argue that. But, I can see that there is talent. We just need everyone to make that, 1 more year of experience, jump. We were not as bad against the run as most want to make out. But that pass rush? That is a concern.

So over half of the starting front 7 is good?  That's good to know I suppose.

If CMC stays healthy, our biggest hole on O, outside QB,  is TE. 

Ian Thomas dropped 13.3% of his passes last year and had a whole 188 yards receiving.  For perspective Robbie dropped 6.4%. 

Tommy Tremble had 180 yards receiving and dropped 5.7%.  He had two drops, he got leveled on one of them.   Defenseless receiver should have been called.  Maybe he can take a step up here.

If CMC gets hurt...again...I feel good with Foreman there.  If Foreman gets hurt, I have absolutely no confidence in Chuba.

In the end tho, as Jimmy Clausen showed, it doesn't matter how much talent you have on O if the QB sucks.  Sam threw ints on 2nd down last year.  Take the damn sack or throw the ball in the dirt.  The line was bad, the running was bad, but Sam's play was total ass.

I truly admire your commitment to your cause. The excitement level around here is rising. You've made it your personal mission to make sure folks don't get too excited.

 

I usually root for the underdog, so I guess I should root for you.

Let him go.  Here's a template for most of his posts:

1)Some statement that is somewhat related to the thread
2)Rhule sucks.

He tries to derail most threads so he can recite his sheer burning hatred for Rhule.  Let him go.  There's no changing him. 

Haters gonna hate.

TBF, a Rhule discussion is appropriate on this thread, and historically Rhule has been bad.  On the Matt Corral thread though, it was stupid.

4 huge obstacles.

1) Rhule.... game management and control of personnel. the latter is something that it appears he may have lost/given up some control on, but the former will be an issue for a long time.

2) Snow... I'm sure he was a fine college defensive guy. this ain't college. he needs to use this opportunity tp learn from Wilks, Holcomb, and Pasqualoni...esp. Wilks who should be the DC.

3) Run Defense... we got ate up by big power run games, esp. against the NFCE. we're facing a lot of really good and productive run games this year. We've got to figure out how to keep from getting pushed around. 

4) QB.... Will we be stuck with sammy or are we going to move forward with Corral. If we have Corral, we've got a chance. with sammy, everything needs to be perfect around him for him  to look competent. we don't live in a perfect world. this is one of those things that rhule could mess up and go with the experienced guy, even though, he's just an experienced loser. 

bonus.... CMC. plan on him getting hurt. be ready with a plan B and C and D. best thing to do is don't plan on him playing much this year either. if he does, great, but don't put much effort into building an offense around him. you'll only be frustrated.

Ioannidis is an upgrade from Jones. YGM is coming into his 3rd year and looks to be more than a competent replacement for Fox. Burns and Brown are solid.

LB-wise, Littleton is better than what was rolled out last year at MLB. Shaq is that dude. Luvu backed up Reddick well.

The loss of Reddick sucks, but there are upgrades everywhere else.

Woods will also allow Chinn to play down in the box more.

Getting quality QB play from Sam, PJ, or a rookie is a big ask, but the roster does look much more NFL-level than in recent years. The biggest question IMO has to do with the staff, and outside of Rhule that area looks better as well.

Time will tell, but the odds of making some progress appear notably improved vs last year.

Ah yea the good old argument…

Burrow became the 5th QB in 23 years to go to the Super Bowl with an oline ranked that bad and if only we had a qb we could have been that team lol

Jamar chase is way better than DJ moore and tee higgins is way better than robby anderson

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
