Now is the time for the Panthers

NFC South is in transition at this point. The dominant teams are losing traction and in rebuilding mode soon.

Tom Brady will not be as dominant. They have lost some important pieces and will be beatable. The Saints have secondary problems and the head coach is questionable. They have important players who are now facing legal problems and suspension.

The Falcons will have one of the weakest rosters in the NFL.

The saying goes "strike when the iron is hot" and the Panthers have a four or five year window to take advantage of the situation.

It is now up to the coaching staff and front office to put the team in a position to be ready to take over the division. No more excuses and bullsh%t.

This is pretty much the trend in the power rankings I've seen slowly trickle out. Rank usually 23-28, roster is pretty good but Rhule is a liability, etc..

23. Carolina Panthers: Baker Mayfield beat out Sam Darnold for the starting quarterback job. Now he has to swim upstream against the brain trust of Matt Rhule and Ben McAdoo.

Now is the time because next year we are somehow 20 million over the cap already.

Looking at overthecap for next year it really doesn't look to be an issue at all. Several guys whose contracts are easily restructured/extended to bring down the cap hit next year. Other guys (Robbie, Elflein) who are easy to cut for big cap savings. Then in 2024 with the majority of our core still under contract we have $120M in cap space. Plus as it stands right now we'll carry over about $13M next year so will only be $7M over to start the offseason. Extending Burns alone could get us to about $5M in cap space easily.

I agree with that general window of success. If we can make a quality coaching hire in 2023 and get QB solidified, we have the potential to be able to gather our way to the top.

Especially if we can draft better moving forward. We might be able to set up a 6-8 year span where we are top or near top of the division.

But....that is a lot of "ifs." I sincerely hope we show enough in 2022 to entice a very good coaching candidate to us.
