Losing faith in Rod. It always seemed to me we were riding talent a little more than coaching. The same mistakes happening in the playoffs over and over. That is on coaching. Now our plug and play system is no longer working and we may miss the playoffs. His seat should be hot if that happens.

I still have faith in Rod tha Bod... but he's gonna have to make some changes to his coaching staff. The PP is unacceptable and has been for a long time. I don't know who is responsible for special teams, but maybe start with them.

Brind'Amour seems to have a complete blind spot when it comes to the goalie position. Given the choice, he will pick the wrong goalie at least 7/10 times. It feels to me, as a dumbass fan, that our goalies are well coached. We don't have the best development program, but we seem to get the most out of the talent we have at the position.

Some of this mess falls on Wadell, too. I think he bought into the "plug and play" ability of our system as much as Rod. We have let a lot of talent walk out the door over the past 2 offseasons, and most of their replacements have proven inadequate or walked out the door themselves.

Overall, both men are among the top 5 in the world at their respective jobs. This season feels like they have rested on their laurels a bit. But, we are still in 2nd place in our division despite going 0fer our last 5.

NGL tho, if I was Dundon, and heard Rod tell a reporter postgame, "No, we don't need to change the way we play. We can't change the way we play. When you do that, that's how you lose games," I might've rage fired him on the spot...

      Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
