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.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
