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.

No, Superbowl win or bust, and he has 2 years 

No.  He needs to win 2 Super Bowls within the next year!  And that's me dropping my expectations down from what I really wanted...

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.

no, he has 5 games to win 3 superbowls!

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.

That's reasonable

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.

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

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.

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

Its a building year… Yeah, another one.

[Shocker]

Frank Reich isn’t the type of guy that makes excuses.  Or answers to fans

Anybody who has high expectations for next year must be a new panthers fan...or a slow learner.

yes, because everything about the organization and staff is exactly as it has been for 20 years

[AggieLean]

For this year, I just want to see great situational coaching, great clock management from said coaches, stretches where our QB takes over a game, maybe a come from behind win or 2, and anywhere between 6-9 wins. 
 

I get that and I’m good.
