Hot Take: This team will never get over the hump, until we move on from Bryce.

For perspective, the Chiefs never got over the hump until they got Mahomes and then got Spagnuolo. Bryce needs to show he is beyond the Alex Smith/Teddy tier of QBs to get past the hump that matters.

After 2 seasons if Bryce,  I may have to rethink my Panthers watching habit next season if he's still here.

Trust me, everyone on here would be happier if you stopped watching (and posting).

It also helps to have a defense that doesn't give up 40 points a game

this is the right answer. we had a HISTORICALLY bad defense that gave up far more points than they should have and actually cost us games we would have won by scoring as much as we did. When Bryce came back, he wasn't the problem. He would have been the reason we won games had the defense not given up so much. 

NFL.com has him as the 14th best regular season QB according to their QB index, and that's with the disaster that was the first couple weeks.

If the team is able to maintain some continuity with the OL + young guys avoid sophomore slumps, then the offense is going to be in a good place.

Big question will be how long does it take to address the defense and what else becomes an issue during that time?

Yup. The D had a brief period of respectability vs NO, NYG, KC, and PHI. But even there they couldn't stop KC when it mattered most or hold the Bucs after Chuba's fumble. Bryce HAD to have the ball last for us to have a chance to win basically.

There will always be injuries so we need more O depth.  For the O specifically, I'm less about getting that coveted #1 receiver and more about adding more depth to the offense... We basically need depth everywhere, and we're likely losing some in FA already.

Couldn't agree more re: offensive depth. Every starter on the OL this season missed time and yet the unit still performed above average thanks to guys like Cade Mays and Brady Christensen filling in. Sounds like Brady is going to search for starter money somewhere else (awesome for him and his family if they get it!), but bringing back Cade Mays and finding another high quality sixth man would be an excellent start. Then there's the question re: Corbett to answer as well.

WR room is going to need bodies for sure since only Legette, Coker, and Thielen are under contract for next season. TE room as well since Sanders is the only one under contract (though Matthews did just sign on for next season).

And finally, what to do with QB2?

It's nice to be excited about an offseason that can build upon the previous season again.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
