A loss to the Saints on MNF would be as bad a start as the Panthers can get.

It's year one of a rebuild 

I definitely agree with this sentiment but the team doesn’t feel torn down to be a rebuild. This is renovation on top of a previous bad remodel. 
 

I feel like the roster will need much longer than the usual 2-3 years you give a coach to start feeling a SB window open.

Wanna debate metaphors? 😃

Seriously though, no two rebuilds are alike, but they are boiled down to seeing what you have, fixing what you don't, etc.

Bottom line to me

home opener 

nationally televised game 

#1 draft pick

a supposed all star coaching staff

surely they can find a way to beat the Saints.  

the lesser coaches  and lesser players did last year with a helluva lot more adversity than this team 

win the freaking game at home   As the old Italian saying goes, ‘don’t poo where you eat ‘

will they win ?    I hope so but I wouldn’t put money on it

Fitterer threw a Hail Mary trading for Young. If it works out, he’s set for Young’s tenure on the team. If he fails, he’s out. He is lucky to have even gotten the opportunity to do that after his numerous failures in 2021 and 2022. But here we are, he made his biggest move to date and he gets to be around long enough to see if it pans out or not. It sucks but that’ll be the case most likely. 

I have a feeling that while some fans may call those failures on Fitt, Tepper likely sees those failures as Rhules fault.

Down two games after week two isn’t insurmountable. That’s ludicrous. But if you had been getting ready to buy Super Bowl tickets your expectations were unreasonable from the start.  Still entirely possible to make the playoffs or even win the division after losing your first two games. If we don’t, 🤷‍♂️ the future is still bright.

Assuming Young pans out, yes....if not - oh wee mayne

So what should we do? Blow it all up If we don't win it all this year?

 

If there are no clear signs of progress you must make a change and that starts with Fitt.  If we end up with something like 4 or 5 wins and we look completely inept or stagnant like last week then something has to change.

I thought we were probably good enough for 7 maybe 8 wins but damn I dont know seeing how atl and tb look improved.

I always thought it was a bit crazy to trade all of that capital to #1 and not know who you were going to take.  Seems ass backward to me

If this roster is 2-3 years aways, and I agree wholehearted with you, then that is the exact damn reason you trade burns for that draft capital.  WTF is the point of paying him if you dont think you are going to win?  And if you do look at this roster and think you can compete then thats a larger issue

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
