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.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
