Fitt just said in his presser that “it’s going to take a little time in the beginning but it should be a strong group closing out the year.” Gave the example of RW’s first year in Seattle and how it didn’t take off until game 8 or something.

So yeah, I think they understand what’s going to happen.

You don't trade future 1sts and plan on losing. What a poo show.

I think we can still win games early on though, this isn’t unexpected from Fitt to say but despite the somewhat disappointing preseason I still believe this team can and will win the division (and do so with a solid winning record, 10+ wins). 4-4 after 8 then 6-3 in the last 9 is my guess

I didn't really need anyone to lower my expectations. They were already low.

And honestly, I won't feel too bad if this season is mediocre. I remember we overachieved in Gettleman's first season as a GM. Some folks actually felt that set us back.

There's an argument to be made...

Yessir.  Bryce is going to win OROY.  Defense will finish 9th in the league in points allowed.  Passing game will be low-volume, but very efficient and few turnovers.  Panthers finish 10-7, good enough to win the division.  

We will lose in the 1st round but it will be a close-outing and be enough to get Panthers fans more excited for the next season than ever before.

Except he didn't. That's documented.

What he's done though is act like a man and take ownership rather than just blaming somebody else.

In his post firing comments, Rhule did the exact opposite.

Idk - at the end of the day it’s a business and his reputation and career is on the line.  Why take the blame for endless failed draft picks (especially when the other guy happily blamed you) unless you had a part in it.  I get taking the high road and all, but it’s a sorry frog that doesn’t croak for his own Lilly pad. Especially when your reputation is on the line.

Im so sick of Tepper. This is clearly coming from him. Fitt is not the guy to blame we are in this situation because of Tepper. The expectations have always been low since he took over the franchise. This guy needs to sell the team.

 

Keep Pounding is no longer a thing in the Carolina's. Fans are saying the season is over before it even starts. This is our culture now. It's now cool to say we are years away from making noise.

 

2027 will be our year!

Reality bites.

That's being a person of honor.

I believe the defense is going to be top 10 as long as we an stay healthy.  If we can stay in games with our D.  We have a chance.  

Young, so they say, is a baller and if he can lead this team to a couple of late game wins we have a chance. 

My prediction, Young wins Rookie of the year and we steal a wildcard spot.  Reich wins coach of the year too.

That is exactly what I have been saying is going to happen.

We aren't this year's Giants, we are going to be this year's Jaguars.

One of the things I caught watching the press conference was Fitterer's expression when he talked about how young (emphasized "young") the offensive line is as a group.

But yeah, that's what we want.

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
