I think at this point the best plan is to go balls to the wall in FA next offseason trying to get at minimum two new WRs who are WR #1-#2 quality. Use at least one day 2 pick on OL, and the rest of the picks on defense.

We just have to hope that this season doesn't kill Bryce's confidence.

Neither Reich nor Fitterer will be fired this offseason, so I see this as the most realistic pathway towards a better team.

I'd go balls to the wall building a team properly. Not only focusing on covering for a qb who might not be in the league in 5 years

I mean, the Dolphins have essentially been beating up on bad teams all year. The only good team they beat was the Cowboys (22-20). Whenever they play someone good they got nothing. 

The Cowboys have been proven a fraud again. America's team, my ass. They can move their arrogant and presumptuous asses to South America and call themselves South America's team.

Yikes. Tua is essentially Bryce's ceiling, and even Dolphins fans have lost faith in him. We really bout to waste 2-3 years wondering if Bryce is the answer when we are seeing his absolute best ceiling getting knocked out of the first round yet again?

Tua isn't Bryce's ceiling. Bryce will very likely never reach that high even if surrounded by all-pros. Tua has a decent (read average) arm for the NFL, and Bryce will never have that.

1 and done in the playoffs after being regular season warriors against bad and mediocre teams. Tua is their weakest link and they need to upgrade QB and find some toughness if they want to be a contender and not a pretty pretender.

Its extremely difficult for them to upgrade. Tua is an average to slightly above average NFL QB.  To upgrade him means getting a elite QB and those are exceedingly rare.  If they get rid of Tua and try to draft someone, there is a high probability they will get someone worse.

They identify talent well. That may be true on our team but Raid did it in KC. Losing Tua would be like them losing Smith at the time. Always a chance they could get worse but finding another QB who is good enough to slip into the playoffs is a Baker away on a well run team.

Yeah I said this back in September when I still believed Bryce could be the guy. It hasn't aged well, especially the part about Reich and Fitts not being fired lol.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      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.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
