  1. 1. Will the Panthers make any "win now" trades post August 31?

This was a big thing last season as we attempted to bolster the defense after a couple of injuries early in the year. Apparently we fully believed this was going to be a playoff run.

Will this happen this year? Will it be dependent on early season results?

The fact that these fuging morons thought that last years team was a couple of players away from the playoffs just shows how inept they really are. 

Yeah, no doubt. I am just curious if people think that was a fluke thing or we will start getting antsy again this season.

Yes. Rhule thinks he can win now and he might actually have some pressure to do so from Clownownership. Also Hurney trained him his first year and by all signs that is another turd he left in the punchbowl, the clasic Hurney 'we are a move away from the SB in any year regardless of facts' some of us loved so much.

Well, if the reports are true about the Baker deal, it appears Rhule may have lost that personnel power. Or at least it could be diminished. So is Fitterer as likely to take a short term view?

Yes, all it will take is for them to win a few games early and they will start to think playoffs.  I fear it will be a repeat of last season.

We will see. I think it will come down to what I said above. Who has the most power? Fitterer strikes me as a wheeling and dealing kind of guy but is he going to push for a single season like that? Seems less likely than Rhule, who is fighting for his job.

Fitterer may be fighting for his job as well.  Also, I'm not convinced it's him who's in the Mayfield camp. Where is Tepper in all this? He certainly hasn't been silent about the need for a qb. Whoever it is I wish they would keep their mouth shut.

I will be interested to see if Fitterer is out when Rhule goes. 

Apparently Fitterer is more pro-Baker than Rhule. IDK if that means Tepper is or not. He has supposedly not been exactly quiet on his feelings about the QB position since he became owner.

i think all delusions of this being a "win now" team went out the window last year..

I hope Fitts has been given the reigns more and more and Rhule is gracefully being phases out of control..

Yeah, I don't want to see "hot seat" Rhule making any trades. Hard no to Bill O'Brien moves.

If we really believe this long rebuild poo, then act like it.

IDK but I suspect Fitts is too trade happy. As far as his views we will see. I just couldn't do more than guess yet. I think if we see how he handles the QB situation and Corral's part. There were no indications we drafted him to just be a backup.

just don't give up any better than a 4th round pick. I don't care about the cap space. FFS if we hadn't drafted Corral I would be on board with Baker. Now my dude is 3rd on the depth chart and never gets a chance to shine this season. 

Package Robby Anderson in the deal too. If you can somehow trade Darnold away (highly unlikely) you obviously do it.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
