The defense is totally decimated now with Shaq out for the year and Josey with hamstring issue.

Even the Red Rifle can't put up enough points to help this defense. If they win three more games this season it will be amazing.

A top five pick is almost a given at this point. Hopefully they can sign Dalton for at least another year and stack the defense in the draft and FA signings. Maybe go all D.

Hate to have to pass on Cam Wade if he is available. Definitely have to get a decent QB from somewhere.

To many balls to juggle at one time. This is the worst defense they have ever put on the field.

LOL now is the time to suit up Peppers, Morgan, Luke, Rucker, and TD.  Seriously - this defense is worse today than at the start of the season:  No Brown, Thompson, Jewell, Fuller.....two of these guys are not coming back this year.

It's beyond repair this year. The blew their wad giving Young no excuses and they are going to have to coach up someone. The DC brought in Jewell at 7 a year. Robinson at a little less. Jackson is solid at about the same price which is good IMO. Fuller at 5. They actually chose these guys and spent more than I thought on them. That's a GM and DC issue IMO.

As long as the offense is scoring I'm fine. Everyone gets to prove themselves this year or get gone. Winning would be nice but looking competitive is so much fun still that I'm not sweating it yet.

Honestly reminds me of 2011 Panthers. I think we forget how bad that defense played overall even with some players.

Sione Fua woof 

I remember watching us play the Cowboys in '09 I think. Watched Nick Hayden get blown off the LOS on runs and pattycaked on passes and being so damned frustrated that we had that for a DT.

It's why when Gettleman drafted the two DTs 1 and 2 I fell in love with him. Which didn't last a long time but it was nice then.

lol I completely forgot about Nick Hayden. My name is Nick too and historically Nicks on the Panthers have not done well:

Nick Hayden, Nick Scott, Nick Thurman. (some might put Nick Goings). 

Score 40-60ppg? I believe in Andy.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
