I want my Panthers to get better.  I also want to see what Bryce can do.  Bryce is the key this season.

If he is able to make the plays when they are provided (and there will be a LOT of running the ball), then I think we'll be better.  Maybe not winning more than 4 games, but that's double what we did last year.

If Bryce poos the bed and doesn't look like an NFL staring QB, then he helps us out to a top 3 pick where we can get a high level QB prospect and try again.

That's how I look at the season.  I HOPE that Bryce and Canales are able to have a productive season, that the Panthers are fun to watch and surprise a few people.  I know we're not deep enough to be good, but I'd like a few surprises here and there.

But if not, then Canales gets to pick his last QB in Carolina.  He'll either get his guy and do well, or he'll be out after year 3 or so.

i haven't been incredibly encouraged by what little i saw the first couple weeks of TC, so i haven't really been keeping up with them for a little while. I'm hoping that things will look better when the season starts. i do know my enthusiasm has waned a little. i think they are capable of winning. i just don't know that they will have it figured out for a while.

all i hope for at this point is they at least make it a little entertaining.

I have embraced the fact trainwrecks provide their own form of entertainment.

If we are as bad as predicted 

I think we are back in the hunt for a head coach by week 10

 

Nah.  Blame cycles are a thing.  Carolina most likely just has to acknowledge they don’t have a QB to compete.

nah....it will be obvious that coaching isn't the problem. they won't bail on Canales. it will be QB that becomes the priority next year.

Just now I was watching that fluky 88 yard touchdown from St Pierre to Gettis against Baltimore in the 2010 game. Honestly can't remember the last time a play that exciting has happened here. I guess maybe the Cam return but I think we all knew deep inside that it wasn't going to last. That it was just a fleeting feeling. But that TD... the crowd sounded so lively compared to it's (rightfully) nonexistent state today. It was a hell of a play. 

Then something dawned on me. Good god. I'm feeling nostalgic for 2010. When that realization hit... all I could think to myself was "damn."

Was that the same game with the back to back pick sixes?

There are many examples, because you're skipping over a lot of seasons (and a few winning ones).

But the most notable for me was Luke picking off Russell Wilson and returning it for a touchdown in the 2015 NFC Divisional Playoff against the Seahawks. The stadium was shaking, it was so loud and active.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
