Any of them. Too many chicken littles here. It’s a brand new staff, brand new system, rookie QB, this is the worst we’re going to be. And our defense is already upper tier. I’m not saying we’re going to be great this year and make the playoffs but all these whiney ass children predicting 0 wins or 2 wins aren’t built for pro sport fandom. We’ll get a few wins this year, take our lumps more often than not, and improve along the way.  It happens all the time, and very few teams are great immediately after a full turnover like we had. Most take time to become great. 

The main issue in my opinion are the fans can't trust the people running the show. I've seen some horrendous basketball being a denver nuggets fan for 21 years but the difference is the last 8 years regardless of results as a fan I knew we drafted well and made solid moves. That can't be said about the panthers, which in return leads fans to jump off the season quickly.

There are new people running the show, though. I was as vocal about anybody about how bad Rivera and Rhule were after their second years, but this was the new regime’s second GAME. And Rivera goes to show you can still have good seasons with a terrible coaching staff.  And trying to claim that getting Bryce was a bad move or pick is extremely premature. I was strongly a Stroud guy, but as soon as Bryce was announced on draft night he received my support and nothing he could do on the field after two games is going to change that. Even if he looks bad after the whole first year it would be too soon to give up. Not many QBs light the world on fire their first year. Cam and Luck were exceptions, not the rule.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
