Will Dunlap take this team from a non-playoff team to a playoff team?  Again, Rhule sending mixed messages.  He goes from a seemingly young roster-building approach to these type moves, which is more win now signaling.   Apparently he can't make up his mind.  It's like 'I want to build this roster through young guys'.  *SQUIRREL* Older FA veteran available....must sign now!!!!

Why must any team that is building, not put the best team they can on the field next year? 

Stop the stupidity.

So, throw in the towel before the season starts? Good thing the Bengals, coming off a bad season the year before, did not do that last year. They were coming off 5 straight losing seasons, actually. 
 

If the Panthers get a break at QB with Mayfield, Garapollo, an improved Darnold, or an overachieving Corral, the team could make the playoffs. You don’t twirl in the towel at this point. 

We don't have Joe Burrow buddy. LOL you are very ignorant. Mayfield, a broken shoulder Jimmy G is terrible. Jimmy G will never be the same his shoulder is more shot than Cams now. LOL

You would probably trade your 1 for Baker who imo is not as good as Darnold. Man had the best oline and rb core in the league and receivers such as Odell, Jarvis, etc. What did Darnold have? How is Baker better? Stats? Sure he's on a 10xs better team. Any decent QB takes that team to the Super Bowl with that roster last year, yet Burrow beat his ass w nothing. You sir are ignorant.

So your strategy is playoffs or tank?

My strategy is to save cap money for 2023 when this team should be better and should compete for a playoff spot.  That's when you add those last pieces to the puzzle late in FA; when the team is on the cusp.   The 2022 Panthers aren't going anywhere and adding guys like this is just burning valuable cap room in the future...when we actually will need it.

Exactly. I am fine with tanking honestly. This roster is no where near ready to compete at a high level. Maybe 6 wins max. Save the cap. Don't waste it on this QB and coaching regime. Its not that hard and the reason Scott won't make any moves. He has somewhat of a brain. Now if Dunlap is super, super cheap who cares, but save as much as possible and spend like crazy next year with a first round QB and Corral as your future.

Tanking is a fan driven pipe dream. We have been cellar dwellers for 3 years running and have yet to secure a top three or even top five pick. It isn't happening.

Yep. Just like the Hornets. Not good enough to make/win in the playoffs, but not bad enough for a top 3 pick. Two poorly run organizations at the moment. #Purgatory

Don’t worry, I think we all understand your point…it comes up literally every season by somebody. It’s not exactly a unique take. The problem is that no NFL team in reality operates with this kind of mindset.  No team goes “well guys…we all know we’re gonna suck this year so we might as well save money, pack it in, and roll with these bums and just try and set ourselves up for a good 2023!!!”. That’s such a casual fan perspective lol. Every team begins the season 0-0 with a clean slate and with the objective to put together a competitive roster for the year. Injuries happen to key players every year and can drastically change the course of a season for any given team, for better or worse. Imagine if Brady got injured in Week 2 and they trot out Kyle Trask who turns out to be a monumental bust. All of a sudden our 5% chance to win the division turns into a 35% chance or w/e. No, I’m not saying we’re banking on a Brady injury to become competitive. There are countless variables and possibilities that inflate or deflate a team’s success in any oven season - that’s just one example (probably the most drastic one, albeit).

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
