i'm predicting nothing this year.

pretty much because i'll actually admit i don't have a clue. 

i'm just along for the ride and hoping that we aren't just miserable to watch and to have a reason for optimism at different points throughout the offseason and regular season.

The “clue” is recent history.  Same poo different day, bud.  Until they buck that trend it should be the prevailing expectation.

 New coaching staff. New GM.

This is a reset. That's how I'm viewing it. That's how I'm approaching it.

Like I've said before (not that anyone would know or care) that is just me and not what I would suggest for anyone.

Everyone else can view it and and approach it however they want.

Lol. This team is not winning 6 or more games. They will be lucky to win 3 games.

If this team wins 7 games, give Canales COTY and build him a statue. 

I dont think fans remember, those 2 wins where on last second FGs. Each of those drives took 4th down conversions!! They should have finished 0-17 if not for luck, rain, and a ballsey kicker.

so 3/4 wins puts us around the 2nd pick.  What now?  New qb? trade back?

if Bryce Young leads us to the #1 overall pick in year one and in year 2 leads us back to the top 3......you then replace Bryce Young.

Yeah if he isn't developing  and we are in a spot to get a top young QB you don't pass that up.

A young feisty group that wins at least 6 or 7 games during a re-shaping year. I can see them trading Burns and getting a 1st and a 3rd. I can see them trading Chinn for a 3rd and if he's not under contract they'll get a comp pick. I see them moving back (a few spots) from the 33rd pick and getting an additional 2nd or 3rd or even 4th rd pick. I see them signing a lot UDFA's who will come here because they have a legit shot.

All this will mean it will take a few games in to get their bearings and then "we have nothing to lose" football and maybe some wins and the fun starts to happen. 6 or 7 wins and the start of a better culture is what I hope for. 

We are positioned to slide a 3-14 in 2024...

I think if we had our #1 overall pick, the Bryce Young experiment would have basically been Clausen 2.0 and we moved on taking one of these dudes.  And that's all he got.  Stays on the roster and probably had a better shot at re-emerging than Clausen did though.

    • Icky was always a weak pass blocker come out of college. Cross was the premier pass blocker in that class. Much easier to learn run blocking than pass blocking. I never expected Icky to ever become an elite pass blocker. If he was average, that's all I really expected. I did expect him to be an absolute mailer in the run game. 
    • We aren’t in danger of being in the basement anymore and if we keep drafting well we could get to the playoffs after a while. I don’t mind if we get a new QB and coach eventually but we are “stable” and I’m grateful for it. 
    • I prefer 9-8. Reason being, winning season shows overall improvement and is the 1st step to establishing a winning culture. Backing into the playoffs with a losing record doesn't show you earned anything. It's the product of a weak division. If playoffs were based off records, most likely you're not going because another team(s) have a better record.  Chances are too, the next season, you're going to have a tougher schedule and a couple of those bounces that went your way are going to go the other direction and it's another losing season and no playoffs.  There have been 5 teams to get into the playoffs with a losing record. The 2014 and 2025 Panthers are 2 of those teams. Losing record trip 3 isn't exactly something I would be proud of doing. We have 9 playoff appearances so far, 2 of them simply because we won a shitty division. Another one would mean 30% of our appearances are only because we were the least stinky turd. That's a stat I'd want to flush.
