Fitterer and ultimately Tepper have given him all the resources to succeed

 

- All world coaching staff where Tepper could flex that wallet with no salary cap constraints

-Top 10 young defense

-Continuity solid o line with franchise LT

-very good cap space in 2024

-#1 overall pick to draft HIS QB

 

 this team is in way better position than any division rival and if he played his cards right he can flash onto the scene in a Brian Daboll’esque way

Your posting has gotten extremely lame and lazy. Maybe it's because of your ego. 

Frank didn't come here to coach a losing team. 

Thanks for your time.

You think fans worry about that? And strength of schedule is really overblown given strength of schedule is based on last year results not this year. With all the changes we are making we should be much better than last year so even though we could have a harder schedule we should still do better than 7 wins. You can make excuses already if you want but that is not the overall mood or expectations from most of the rest of us.

Well, I'm just referring to what our SOS ended up being after the conclusion of the 2022 season.  It was a weak schedule that we pulled those 7 win off on.  

Making excuses?  Our offense is literally in blueprint stages.  From new scheme all around to bodies.  I'm not making excuses.  I'm setting a realistic bar for what 2023 should be about. 

List our starting QB, RB, WR1 and WR2 right now and tell me anyone not a hardcore Panther fan would say we should be competing for a playoff spot this year.   I guess we technically might be given our division could be horrific.  But that would be byproduct of a bad division vs being a playoff caliber team vs the actual field. 

People setting a weird high bar for Frank on day 1 IMO.  Given him time to put together an offense before claiming it is win now time.

That is your opinion. Read the thread and you will find you are in the minority. Most times new coaches go to crap teams not ones that finish the season  7-10 and go 4-2  in their last 6 games. Truth is the division won't be strong this year and we play 6 games against division opponents. If we go 4-2 in the division you think we don't have 4 other wins in the next 11 games. Talk about a low bar and settling for mediocre.

Honestly if we don’t win the South this year there should be serious questions about Franks’ coaching. We are drafting a rookie QB who everyone thinks should flourish under the direction of this staff, we’re making the D better by finally moving Chinn where he belongs and we just added a pretty good TE who should open up the field for any WR targets we add.

yeah, we are on Panther message board.  It is going to slant optimistic. 

and sometimes it will slant crazily optimistic.  Like folks last offseason claiming Matt Rhule + Ben McAdoo was totally going to work out great!   

but yeah, I'm not the type fan that thinks Frank needs to compete for the playoffs year one.  Frank has to build his offense up.  That's my opinion.  Which is just as good as any other.   We could EASILY be breaking in a rookie QB with a weak WR1, weak WR2, okay RB and okay TE all in a brand new scheme.  Putting the bar of playoffs on the rookie QB and the team as a whole again, seems silly to me.

I'd keep my expectations low if I were you. Year one of new administration, rookie QB...Just saying.


This. New staff, rookie QB, not real offensive weapons.

Its a building year… Yeah, another one.

      Down in Atlanta....

      Exactly this as well.  Beyond age concerns--by the time they find out if they have something in Penix, they'll need to work on a new contract not long after.  The newer league winning QBs have gotten extensions by year 3 (ie. Burrow).  So, if Penix somehow lights it up year 3, he could turn around fairly quickly, probably by year 4, and ask for an extension.  ATL has really no buffer time in easing the bucks off the QB room to build a team around him.  Not to mention, they'll be needing to make decisions on Terrell, London, Pitts, Bijan, a lot of high end investments BEFORE seeing Penix through, and that's IF he works out.   Lindstrom's contract is backloaded too and they can't cut Matthews until after 2026.   Just a terrible use of resources as it relates to timing & salary allocation, no matter how you look at it.   You're in win now, so get a talent to win now.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By bandu · Posted

      it's  already going to be painful enough watching Caleb Williams throw TD passes to DJ Moore on a regular basis week in & week out   & naturally not sit there & reflect back & say to yourself woulda shoulda coulda especially if Bryce Young never looks remotely similar to a #1 pick

      Agreed.  I would expect most realistic fans to tamper their expectations.  There is a scenario where we simply over drafted him at 1, but he still has a solid career and can become a franchise QB.  That is what I am curious to find out.  Does he have what it takes to become the guy.  If he can somehow do any of the stuff you stated in year two then fantastic, but that's not where my head is at judging by his rookie play and the state of the franchise.
