What is your definition of competitive next year?

Closeness of scores (not getting blown out), being in the neighborhood of a .500 record by year's end and while beating teams worse than us, defeating one or two who are better. That would be a competative season for me.

this sounds about right for the panthers next year.

31 Teams fail every year by not winning the Super Bowl.

That is my underlying feelings.

That said. Some minor gains can be made that at least make fans feel better.

Panthers need >1 playoff win and a lot less of losing games they should win during the regular season.

Are you going by record? By particular stats or what?

Just curious.

I expect us to hover around .500.

I think some will be prepared for what the defense shows us.....those that boast we have a solid secondary and a great young DL.....will see some reality. As the weakest DL in Fox stay in Carolina really shows why it is more important be strong there on a Fox team.....as the secondary struggles and we struggle again to stop the run. There is reason Carolina paid absurd money to Pep even though he didn't want to be here....he was all we had last year.

The offense will be awesome though.....most weeks.

to be competitive i think we have to come within two scores of each game, and if we get blown out we have to blow someone else out. we should also have at least a .500 record. for me to consider the season a success, we have to at least win the division or be conference champs.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
