the panthers are not just one player away from being a great team

people keep saying this as if jake is the only problem on the team. Jake blows but the Panthers are terribly flawed to the core and even if they had peyton manning or tom brady they'd still need a number 2 receiver, 2 starting defensive tackles, a special teams coach, an entirely new special teams, and depth across the board. they're probably two draft away from having all of that.

this isn't just one problem

signing mike vick and bill cowher won't send them to a super bowl

stop being stupid babies and over simplifying a very complicated problem

I agree that Jake isn't the only flaw on this team. However, if you are a coach and looking at this team as it stands there is a lot there to begin with. Most people will tell you that in building a team you start with the lines then move out. On offense there good on defense not so much but there are peices there. LB and Secondary has a good core. Same with the RB and TE.

Getting a new QB alone will not fix all of the problems, as evidenced in Chicago. But the cupard isn't bare either the way it was in KC or St. Louis.

well most SB teams are flawed and have chaulked up several losses before the big game....so you could still make the arguement they could only be a QB away from it. A good QB and this team would have bad this playoffs this year......probably would have made it w/ a very average one also.

Sure there are other holes, almost every team has them but Jake IS on a different level resulting in the biggest issue and problem this season. I have been a supporter all the way up through the beginning of this year. The problem is unfortunately this team would have at least 3 or 4 more wins if they just had a decent QB this year. Jake has been brutal, underthrowing, overthowing, missing recievers left and right, fumbline, throwing picks, etc. With just better QB play the panthers beat Buffalo, Miami, Jets, probably the Cowboys. They are an 8-3 or 7-4 team right now.

it is a myth about a super bowl caliber team. all teams that make it to the playoffs are super bowl caliber. look at the cardinals. heck look at the 2003 panthers. its about making it to the playoffs and giving yourself a chance. if you can consistently make it to the playoffs you give yourself more opportunities at the superbowl which is the ultimate goal. there is no perfect team with no flaws destined for the superbowl. all teams have flaws. the good teams know how to cover their weaknesses.

a agree, somewhat - plugging in a good QB won't make us dominant. There's too many holes elsewhere. but that doesn't mean we wouldn't be competitive, VERY good, playoff-caliber. sans injuries, we would - with a quarterback better than '08 jake, which is not hard to find - just as good or better than our 12-4 team fielded last year.

07 Patriots? certainly not... we could only dream of being that dominant, and there's no way to get all the pieces together in one year to put together that kind of talent. but i don't think it's unreasonable to expect that a GOOD quarterback, a dependable possession #2 WR, and a little bit of depth at DT and OT, in addition to our current strengths, would make us a very, very, very good football team.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Im very similar to Ron in being a company/league man. But that ends after the third head hit, I would have lost my religion. Then after I got kicked out of the game, Id 100% be dropping nukes in the after-game presser. fug you fine me whatever, I am going to protect my QB and since logic and reason isn't being used, I can be the bad guy.  The replays showed clear evidence, Id feel no shame in cussing out a crew of chicken poo refs. In fact Id tell the video staff to play infractions on a split screen during my press conference.

      And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

      Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
