I'm finally excited - a chance to rebuild the right way

A rebuild happens with pieces in place. Not a total reset. That is the formula to be the Lions or Jets.

The 2002 and 2011 rebuilds had solid offensive leadership and playmakers on the roster for defense and offense. They did not sell off Smitty, Muhammad, Walls, Gross, Kalil, JStew, DWill, Garcia, Campbell, Johnson, Rucker, Jenkins, Morgan, TD, and Minter.

Looks like the 2023 rebuild will carry over Moton and Luvu. This is going to be another long and painful lesson for Tepper.

I hope they prove me wrong and draft like the Walsh-McVay 49ers.

In the last 20 years, only 2 qbs, both Mannings, were acquired through tanking. The vast majority were acquired in other methods (trade, FA, trade up or lower draft pick).

Tanking is no guarantee.

We're doing it so lets hope it works, but tanking for a QB is clearly not "the right way".

What are you talking about? Richardson essentially tanked the 2010 season and we ended up with Cam Newton? I say that worked out just fine

I didn't know Newton got a ring.  I missed that game.

Why are you shooting for runner up?

When you look at the champions, the overwhelming vast majority were acquired by means OTHER than tank for a QB.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
