How long will the Carolina Panthers rebuild take?

The NFL is the league best built for quick turnarounds.

Every year there are players that pop out of nowhere and go from no-names to solid starters. If we can get a couple of those, stay healthy, and get decent QB play we can win 5 games. Add a couple starters next season, looking at 8-9 wins. Repeat, knocking on the playoffs door.

If Bryce doesn’t improve, add 2 years.

The mistake in the rebuild wasn’t hiring Matt Rhule. It was not hiring Steve Wilks who is the only coach to show any semblance of competence under David Tepper’s ownership. The Panthers could have used three years of him stabilizing the ship, developing the roster, and if he couldn’t get over the hump, hiring someone else at that time. It’s just frustrating to watch the team keep hiring the wrong guys.

bro, this team is much further away than just a HC and QB.

Not if we have a great draft around a QB. Texans didn’t just get Stroud and Ryans last year. They also got Will Anderson and Tank Dell. They also had bulked up in prior drafts due to the Tunsil and Watson trades. We did the opposite and traded away tons of draft picks because we had a stupid GM so we need a 2023 Texans like draft and probably another one like that to make up for not having young talent from trades.

Biggest mistake was Fitterer. That led to the personnel mistakes that left us with a team that was lucky to not go 0-17.

Yeah, it's not like the Texans weren't drafting top 10 for the better part of a decade...  They'd had plenty of time to draft players.  Ryans has done an exceptional job of getting those guys to play together. 

The Panthers could be rebuilt this year.  I doubt it, but we're going to be better until injuries expose our extreme lack of depth.  That's another important reason we've been playing the bottom of the roster in preseason.  Not to hide Bryce or the 1s, but to evaluate our depth.

When we get a QB, we can get this thing rolling in about 2/3 years.

You know, normally I would agree but this roster is so fuging bad I might be inclined to try and build the team first. Of course, that requires a competent FO and we haven't proven that is there yet.

IF we didn't make a bunch of bad roster decisions in this past offseason/draft it's conceivable it could take as little as 3-4 years to rebuild a top 12 caliber NFL roster.

I think a lot of us are not appreciating how unholy bad this roster is, especially when you get past the starters. Additionally, look at the roster and who would even still be here in 3-4 years. It's more holes than core members.

This is why any hope of building a lasting and GOOD roster are future hopes. It will take years of good drafting and solid FA moves to build something like that. 

You all watched the horrifying drafts, epic free agency blunders and terrible trades/wasted resources from trades over the past few years. This is the cost. We aren't magically going to conjure up a good roster from that kind of poo. 

But we have to know it's actually STARTED first and that remains to be seen. Otherwise we are still floundering around waiting for an actual rebuild to start.

we could of never fired Ron Rivera and be in a better and more successful place today.  Because that's Wilks.  Heck, we could of just never fired John Fox.  Because it's all the same.   

We wished we could evolve past that type/level of football....and now we dream of returning to it.

    • I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....
    • It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.
    • That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
