Cam Akers feeels like the adopted kid that no one wants.

Yeah, that doesn't sweeten the deal in my opinion He wants out, probably because he wants a contract. This is year three and he wasn't a 1st round pick, so we'd only have him this year and next and he'd probably be unhappy because I can't imagine Fitt giving him a contract after what we just went through with CMC plus Foreman looks very serviceable.

They are 3-4 this year.  I guess "competitive" is relative

McVay may "retire" to Amazon

Donold is in his 30s

Stafford is hurt and is 35

I get your point about the division but I think you have to gamble that they are going to suck moving forward.  They dont have any assets or cap room to improve in the off season

There is more proof that they will succeed than fail next year. They will have the most continuity of any team in the NFL with their coaching staff and roster. This year they are ridden with the injury bug and dealing with the loss of Miller.

 

3-4 this year is competitive... have you looked at the standings? They are right in the middle of the pack competing for a playoff spot. Burns would be a strong contributor to helping them climb.

 

McVay used the amazon deal to get his new coaching deal.

At some point, for me, that means keeping good players.

Agreed.  I think people are looking at what is coming due with him.  He is in for a big pay day.  Would it make sense for a team like us to max out a player right now when we still need a year or two to make a run?  On the other hand how likely is it we replace a top young player at a premium position?  It's a good debate.

I’ve seen game changing elite

Peppers was game changing elite and it stung like hell when we let him walk for NOTHING

 Burns is Osi Umenyiora / Olivier Vernon…. Good, borderline great, not going to take over a game

 

this is a once in a lifetime fleecing for two top 15 picks for a player that is going to command being highest paid DE when he’s not worth it, take the deal

Its worth the risk.  Do you really envision a scenario where they go deep in the playoffs next year?  How do they get better in the off season?

All they have to do is get healthy on the oline and improve their pass rush. That is literally the only issue they are having this year. Stafford has been sacked 24x... Thats 3.3 sacks given up per game... 

 

Their defense is top 5 in both passing and rushing....

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      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.
