Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

The offensive line has become the strongest unit on the team. They have made the running game click and kept Bryce vertical.

The next step is building a dominant Dline. Use the draft and FA to add the pieces needed. That would make the biggest difference. A QB would be nice (Bryce has looked better, but still not close to being a game changer.)

Defiantly need to get the defense up to snuff. If Bryce keeps improving, he may get another season. They can't go another season with the defense being a weak link.

That's cool but just know we aren't winning anything until we solve the elephant in the room.

I feel like Jenkins was only really great in 02/03, he took a long time to get back in shape. He was supposedly pretty good his first season with the Jets. Having him and Moose in 05 would have been amazing. 

Yeah he might have been hurt 2004 but what a great player in his early Panthers years. He was a “dawg”. Another parting gift from Seifart.

It is football, still. You control the LOS, both sides, you win that game most of the time.

Jenkins, we took so long to replace him. Way too long. Gettleman won me over big with his first draft. 

But he is another story.

That has to be the priority and should be until have one. I think there are 2 who have a good chance, and the others are developmental--and I think there are some decent qbs to develop.  I think we need a 2-part plan--Sign a vet, draft a QB, and let Bryce compete.  None of this entitlement crap.

As for the OP, he is right--we need a DT, an edge or two.   I also think we need to draft a WR.

Not just the line but the front 7, wouldn't mind double dipping at edge or an edge LB combo in the 1st 2 rounds

This.

Adding Brown back in the mix next year will help a lot.  I actually think the “line” is fine.  We need to upgrade the entire ILB/OLB group.  Toss in a ball hawking safety and we’re in business.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
