They've already done that, they've brought in dawgs remember. 

No they did the same thing they always have which is keep some poop around and then be surprised when they create another crap sandwich.

He wasn't even brought in, he helped build last year's failure.

The rebuild doesn't start until 2025.

What we're seeing now isn't a rebuild, it is the end result of years and years of disastrous decision-making.  Ain't nothing to build with this unit.  Most of these players don't belong on an NFL roster.

we need draft capital upon draft capital in the next 2 years with our cap looking like poo as it is

We need a miracle.  There is just about no way to fix this in a year or two.

If you want a timeline, look at the late 2000s Rams.  That is the team I keep comparing us to.  Very talent devoid, nothing to build upon.  It was a miracle that team didn't go winless in 2008 or 2009.  Everyone focuses on how bad the Lions were but IMO the Rams were just as bad, if not worse.

It took that team a long time to bounce back.  The best thing for the Panthers to do is to stay patient and don't make any rash decisions to try and compete.  This is why I feel strongly we shouldn't take a QB #1 next year.  I understand that for fan morale, you can't have Bryce return as the starter uncontested, but it really might be the best decision long-term for the team.  Let Bryce guide us to as many top 5 picks as we need.  Arch Manning 2026.

I know what you are saying in theory, but if Bryce gets us #1 and they try and trot him out there for year 3 it would be chaos.  Literally an empty stadium and fans wouldnt come back.  You have to trade him for pennies on the dollar, he simply cannot be on your roster come year 3.  You sign a vet and hopefully trade down.

 

But brother Arch manning is never coming here to play as a panther.  Get that out of your head.  Its just not ever going to happen

We are paying him too much to send him home and pay someone else to be the number two.

You bring in a young guy, give Bryce the clipboard. You know how bad that guy would have to suck to have fans calling for the backup? heh this poo is s bad it is funny. 

he cannot be on your roster if he leads you to two straight top 3 picks

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
