How do we feel?

  1. 1. Are we going up or down headed into the offseason?

I feel like I am back on the Riverboat with Ron picking in the mid teens and winning moral victory games. 

Proud the team picked it up, but they weren't clutch enough to get it done.

I think we are on the way up *if* we draft well.  Secondary was supposed to be a strength and it was a major weakness today.  I like our OL and think it will only get better if we keep the guys together.  Darnold as backup on a decent contract, otherwise be aggressive and see if you can land a franchise QB somehow and roll with Corral as the backup.

TE, DE, LB, and C are all needs IMO....especially when we aren't going to be able to draft Young or Stroud.

This is more of a just where we are now. Without any moves this offseason. I haven’t seen improvement like this since, at least what I feel, since our last trip to the playoffs.

I am in the same spot as before the game, waiting on those things.

When we see what direction we are headed, I will know whether to have hope or not.

I don't think the Panthers are hopeless, but we need to have a really good draft and add a few pieces via free agency to be more competitive. The only thing that is kinda depressing is that we still lack a franchise QB and it's unlikely we will find one this offseason.

Honestly, darnold has shown some growth. Not starter growth but stop gap playoff birth growth. Id really like us not to focus on a QB this draft and instead put all of the pieces around them in place. Unless there is a cam/mahomes candidate in this draft. I feel like this is how even good draftees go to die. They don’t have a good coach/OL or supporting body.

Pre built defense?  Due tell

It’s an outside opinion the pieces are there. It would be great to see what a full staff can due unlike our current patchwork.

Burns, Brown, Luvu, and Horn are great foundational pieces. I know you won’t agree but Ben has his ear to the ground about opinions around the league.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
