  1. 1. What's a successful season? Sorting this by what would be an improvement over 2021 record.

    • 6-7 wins, no playoffs but team seems improved
      2
    • 8-9 wins, no playoffs, team is noticeably improved (I.E. Baker is promising)
      8
    • 8-9 wins, last wildcard
      24
    • 10+ wins, playoff berth
      20
    • Record schmecord, we need a playoff appearance and playoff win
      8

A winning season (lol) would be progress. Rhule Tax means another 5-or-less-win season is coming.

Rhule negates our winning potential by 2-3 games however it ultimately works out. Hopefully we have an interim head coach by week 5 and make a run for entertainment sake

Making the playoffs

You can clamor for a playoff win all you want but the same people demanding a playoff win also have the Panthers as a 6 win team.

You can't scream we want wins and make the playoffs and be mad that we made the playoffs and not win.

Baby steps....now do we make the playoffs? Thats another discussion.

So you want to make the playoffs but don’t mind if we get curb stomped and exit immediately? That sounds like acceptance of mediocrity and being content just looking good. Not my cup of tea. Especially in the NFL where there is parody and not this slow build process being alluded to. We looked better in their first year, last year regressed and underperformed. They need to outperform expectations. Simple as that.

Given what we preached about Rhule's track record of third year jumps,  I think 10+ wins and a playoff berth are necessary to be "successful."

Ideally a win in the playoffs to establish with complete certainty that we have had a monumental jump to being a success again.

Either less than 10 wins OR less than 1 playoff win have to be failures, IMO. If you want to keep selling further improvement and the future being bright, you have to show something more than 0-9 wins and no playoffs.

It only matters to Tepper, unfortunately.  The man does not like to be wrong so a floor of 9 wins (wildcard or not) is enough for Rhule to stick around another season.  It will be hard to Tepper to justify keeping Rhule if our record is only better by 2-3 games especially if the team stays relatively healthy.  The IR excuse has been leaned on heavily the past two seasons.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
