Time to stop being delusional

This season was over before it began with retaining you know who.

I saw a lot of overly optimistic people here talking about playoffs, etc., after beating the bucs.

News flash - Bucs are straight poo too

Which leads us back to the most pressing need - we gotta get the top 1 or 2 draft slots and get that franchise QB. Without it we are forever stuck in the .500 seasons. 

It was great watching this game and seeing us be competitive and look like a competent NFL team.  What a difference when you get rid of the living, breathing, human piece of poo. 

So that leads us back to the main issues coming into this offseason. 

HC - Wilks is not the answer. Seems like a great guy, and is light years ahead of poo face as far as coaching goes. That being said, we gotta get on board with the new direction of this league and that is with an offensive minded HC. Let’s do this rebuild right and let retreads live where they should.

Burns - TRADE HIM. If we can get 2 1’s for him we are insane to not do that. He is not worth what we will have to pay him and never takes over games. I hate to bring up his name, but before he did what he did, Greg Hardy was light years better than Burns! 

Shaq - TRADE HIM. 

I would like to see what we are capable of with a bunch of high picks, new coach, new QB. Stop trying to put bandaids on this and hit the reset for real.

I'm still up for trading Burns.  Look, TWO first rounders for a pass rush specialist...not even an ELITE pass rush specialist, is more than a fair trade.

I was going to start another thread on this but, in a nutshell, we are honestly only a few players away from being a really good team.  If we come away this draft with 5 or even 6 picks in the first 100, then this team not only can compete, but make some noise next season.

Completely agree! And, getting rid of Rhule has shown that we have a solid core. Just need that new HC and QB and we are ready to roll.

    • Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.
    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
