What the hell is going on with the panthers?

I am in shock right now. I think back to 08 and how good we were and now it looks like in many places we are in rebuilding mode.

I know many of you will tell me to shut up we have double trouble, great LB'ers and a great O'line but we have no D line, we have above average corners, and above average safety's.

We dont have a first round pick, and we are stupid if we trade into the first again for the third year in a row. Does anyone else feel like 2010 season is going to be a throw away year?

I just have no excitement about what direction the panthers are going. Are we in rebuilding mode now? Has the window for the playoffs closed for the next couple of years or am I just over reacting due to the fact there are a lot of leaders gone?

we didn't trade into the first we traded into the 2nd.

My crazy idea is that we are preparing to trade Fox to somebody for draft picks and sign The Chin. I'm too scared to make a topic about it because of the craziness of it.

So if the FO actually knows what they're doing, and knows something we dont, sees thing we dont, we could have the makings of a beastly, come out of nowhere year. Or all the younguns fail and we start 2012 with a little more high hopes...

The only mistake we are making on the d-line right now is that it looks like Brayton is gone. Otherwise Leonard>Kemo and Tyler will probably>Lewis. Ed Johnson will help give us a pass rush as will Irvin. My biggest concern right now is not the talent, it's how much an effect Peppers had in teams of game planning for terms and will have now that he is gone.

E. Brown will have to prove himself but I'm not really concerned about DT so much at this point.

You are correct, but I was eluding to the fact we keep trading away future first rounders.

I wouldn't be too worried or call this a throw away season. I believe our FO knows we have a good group of core young players and out top priority is to pay them and keep them together.

Hopefully Moore having more time with the offense will give the offense the improvement it needs to counter our losses on defense. I think our D-line will be serviceable. Our Secondary worries me if we lose Marshall to a late 2nd round pick.

Minus not having Jake as a back-up... I like the direction were headed.

I have much more hope this year than last

I only say this because we made really ZERO changes from 2008 to 2009. We returned 21 of 22 starters. Hmmmm.... the team should have made this type of cleansing in 2009 and not been content with 21 of 22 starters returning. Returning those guys didn't mean poo because you didn't get to the SB. It's great if all you want to do is play good during the season and stink it up in the playoffs.

We have no pash rush.. none.. zero. Without a good line our best players - our LBs - are toast, especially in Meek's scheme..We have an unproven QB with nearly the same mentality as the outgoing QB had... We have one WR.. we stand a good chance of losing one of our starting CBs.. we chose not to resign one of our best ST players.. we don't have a KR/PR.. we still have the same coaching staff as we did last year..

We have nowhere to go but up.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
