If I had to guess, I'd say it's as much or more about Young learning then it is about winning.

I'm okay with that. I know some of our more emotional crowd will be, but hey...

The omission of concepts shouldn't limit what we're giving Young.  You create a more limiting system within the same concept and grow it from there for these guys.  This doesn't look like we're pulling anything from successful modern offenses.  The framework isn't there.

I'm gonna guess you're joking, given that firing a coach two games into his stint would make us look like the most ignorant franchise in the league.

Good luck hiring anybody after you pull a dumbass stunt like that.

I meant at the end of the year not tomorrow. Sorry should have clarified,  and I'm only half way serious

Who are these skill players you speak of who are so much better then the Panthers?

Best of the bunch would likely be Dalton Schultz who was franchised by the Cowboys last year (the Mrs was pretty pissed to see them lose him).

Then you've got a super promising rookie and Tank Dell and a fairly decent receiver in Nico Collins.

Yeah he has Dell and 0 else

Yeah, hard to spin it otherwise, although love Tank. He led CFB in multiple categories for a reason.

HOU has arguably the worst WR group in the last 5 years right now.  One of the only ones arguably worse than ours.

I said it in the game day thread, but we’ve got a lot of fans mad at themselves for thinking we were Super Bowl bound just last month.

The product on the field is so far from their unrealistic expectations so they’re in a bit of a hysteria.

This roster is missing some talent and we seem to be dropping key players to injuries at a rapid rate. This year will be painful. So far, I’m most disappointed in our recent WR draft choices. Is TMJ on the practice squad?

Stroud has skill players but a subpar line.

Bryce has a solid line but not much in the way of skill players.

At this point, I'd rather he be protected. We can get better skill players next year.

Really?

Nico Collins, Robert Woods, and Tank Dell are better skill players than Chark, Thielen, and Mingo?  

No, just no, give me some of whatever you're smoking, cause that poo's the bomb.

I'd have said maybe Pierce or Shultz over Sanders or Hurst, but Pierce and Shultz haven't done anything yet this year.

We have a significantly better line (they were missing 4 starters on their line yesterday) and better skill players, not to mention the "all star" offensive staff while Stroud's HC is a defensive minded guy.

This isn't even me arguing for Stroud over Young, it's solely about everything else around the QB's, we're much better in that regard than the Texans, no question about it.

And the Panthers have Hayden Hurst, Adam Thielen, DJ Chark, and a promising rookie drafted a round before Dell in Jonathan Mingo. Also signed a pro bowl running back.

Man it’s almost like you could argue the Panthers actually have more talent on offensive compared the the Texans.

Bryce hasn't looked good but the entire offense is putrid. It's hard to look at just 1 man and point your finger. I would have rather seen us take Stroud or AR, but it's too late for that now. If he's going to be successful, it's going to be the Drew Brees timing and pick you apart playstyle with the occasional deep bomb when people overcommit (in my opinion). I honestly don't know what our offensive system is, but we need players who can accommodate that playstyle if we are going to see him and the offense succeed. 

Our offense has no identity yet.

On an off note, It would appear that Chuba is actually our most explosive playmaker, and that's not the position we want to be in.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
