What still needs to happen for you to be genuinely excited about next year?

I saw the videos today. Panthers still getting crushed in the media because it’s low hanging fruit.

personally I think we are on the right track. Every move we have made has logic. Brian burns hurts but I think it was a dead end and we got what we could. Blame the old regime. 

my question is, what would it take you based on what has happened in the past 3 days for you to be genuinely excited for next year?

I think all of our expectations are tempered appropriately so I’m not thinking Super Bowl. But what will it take for this team to be fun to watch again, and knock on wood maybe even fight for a division title or wild card spot. 

for me, if we can land 2 starter caliber DEs (preferably Clowney) and a legit safety (Justin Simmons) then I’m sold on FA. 

Then as far as the draft goes, best WR and best center for our 2nd rounders followed by BPA the rest of the draft.

Fix the holes they created and address the obvious.  

Center with starting experience...ie Connor Williams

2 Edge Rushers to play opposite each other... hell I don't care if you bring back Efe Obada ...just get some bodies in there. 

Add another ilb and corner for depth atleast. 

Sign Jordan Fuller and Franklin 

Grab 2 Wr's in the draft(this is the draft for that) ... target Wiley from TCU at TE late in the draft.

Mind you, all of this can be done. Probably won't but very possible.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
