Same for sanders, fewer weakness in each of their games. They are the types that dont come off the field. 

Schultz and his agent, got honey dicked. 

I just watched his "highlights". Dude seriously winces every time he's about to get tackled. Not interested in a tall glorified slot receiver, we just got Thielen to basically be that guy

Not to mention that dallas system is uber TE friendly. League spoke loud and hard this FA period. I bet some agents are going to get fired over the dreams told to the players. Schultz should have taken that 3 yr 36 off, if he did Im not sure sanders would have signed here(i bet foreman for 3 would have happened).... For sure his first year hed gotten more than 9, plus LOLOLlol texans?!?!? good-luck improving your stats there, brother......

Look no further than what an average franchise qb contract cost today. Look at the contracts handed out to them the last few years and ask yourself how can you build a complete team with the money left.

You are seeing where this is going in the future.  If you hit on qb you only have a few years to sound him with talent before you have to dedicate a large portion of your salary cap to 1 player. 

The rookie has about 2 years by my estimate before the Panthers have another 1st round pick to replace his ass if they are in the same situation as this year. 

If they have not made the nfcc game by then I doubt Reich and Fitterer are around to take the next swing.

If we're still picking in the Top 10 in 2 more years, we could be looking to draft someone new again, but depending how the college game shakes out in that time, I think they play it out for one more year.

That next draft class could have Arch Manning, and let's be honest, if he pans out as expected, I'd LOVE to get a Manning at QB, hard to argue with that bloodline right now.

Also, I don't think we have to have made an NFCC game in the next 2 years, playoffs, sure, but not that much in 2 years, that would be an incredible turnaround.

If you listen to the interview between Adam Theilen and Pat McAfee they are thinking SB run. The bar is high on this crew and if they are not there by year 3 or at least very close I doubt Tepper will tolerate anything less.

I can see a very real scenario that we win a weak division with a rookie QB going 9-8 and then follow that up with a 10 or 11 win season that even with a first round exit, I don't think they'd get fired over that.

After how bad we've been under Tepper, two playoffs with improvement in each year, they'd be solidified even with a down year after that I think.  Would need to bounce back after that for sure, but if we improve both of these first two years, especially with a young QB, then I think it buys then another 2 to see what they can do.

I said by year 3. By the end of year 2 they better be nfcs Champs and win a couple of playoff games.  If they are not trending up by the end of year 2 with the new qb then things will get uncomfortable in BOA.

I wonder if it has something to do with the QBs getting most of the cap increase each year--

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
