With the emergence of BY, what looked like 5 years looks like two years to me

 

healthy, good drafting and FA this team should be knocking on the door next year

then 2026 season the Panthers should realistically return to the playoffs with the Saints, Falcons, Tampa aging out

The division sucks. It's sucked for the better part of a decade. This team makes the playoffs next year.l

Agreed. Without pineros shanks and a better d were in the hunt this year. I don't see the bugs, saints or falcons getting better. 

I'm still hopeful x and brooks will be solid contributors but Bryce is slowly turning into the cornerstone we need. 

We have a ton of picks and still need a sticky handed speedster but the foundation is already there. 

And we get brown back next year and maybe shaq

We are a few plays away from being 6-7 and in the hunt this year but just don’t have enough talent to finish these close games. 
 

Next year we will legitimately compete for division but that depends on injuries, our offseason draft and FA activities.

Talk to me after next season. There is still a boat load a crap to fix on this team. I'm encouraged by the way this rag tag group is still fighting even though they are outmatched in every game. They are no longer an easy W going forward and it's getting noticed around the league.

I was just thinking about this. 

Add Tee Higgins, extend Horn, get Brown back, and work on pass rush and o line depth and this is an 8+ win team next season in contention for the division. 

This is the best secondary I can remember us having in a decade. Think about that. Opposing QB are double and triple clutching balls because dudes are locked down, but our rush doesn’t get consistent heat, and they can only cover for so long. Horn has to be retained. His skill set is perhaps the most difficult to hit on outside of a QB. He is the glue back there.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
