2024 Panthers defense

Evero to his red shirt army defense: I know most of you won't be able to do your job well or without going to IR and be replaced by another red shirt, but remember that your sacrifice will not be in vain, that you're here to save the most important thing.

My job.

For the 1st time in 7 years we look like a stable and competent organization that has a plan in place.  After all the chaos and instability over the last several years to finally see some stability and sense of normalcy around the team is a massive improvement. Hopefully now we can start to build this organization back up and get back to competing at a high level and no longer be the laughingstock of the NFL. 

 

LADIES AND GENTELMEN WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!

I'm still not buying that.  The whole fool me once thing.  Really the whole sales job of us now being a stable and competent is basically half of a season.   

and do we really have a plan? Sure seems like they had a plan this year.  And Bryce forced them to go to a plan B for the near future when he got a chance.

The plan this year was to find out if Bryce was our guy, establish a culture, and build the identity of this team. I'd say we accomplished our goal. Now of course Bryce didn't start off the season as we hoped but I respect the leadership of this team to not panic and to stay the course.

I would say some think we have accomplished this, but in reality we only partly accomplished this. We don’t know for a fact bryce is our guy, we just know he is the guy going into 2025. The culture hasn’t been built, but maybe the foundation of it has been. They still need to learn to win consistently. 
 

Honestly i think how the season ended has set us up to accomplish all that in 2025 though. But this is just my opinion.

I think we found our QB, and he was on the roster.

We found a starting Center

I think we found a starting LB (Wallace) and we may have found a starting CB (Jackson) and I think a possible depth or nickel CB (Bartholomew).

An undrafted Rookie because a key part of our offense (Coker).

We seem to have gotten good play from our 2024 draft's third and fourth round picks. 

Our biggest weaknesses:

DL  (I think DT/nose is a huge weakness that can really make us better if addressed properly)

DB  (We have 1 safety returning; need to re-sign Jackson and add some CB help)

WR  (We could use an alpha)

Edge (A rookie to play with Clowney and Wonnum for a season)

LB  (Jewell and Wallace were below average--but playing behind a below average DL--I think we need an ILB)

TE--A stud would improve this offense.  Give Sanders time, but we could use 2

Call me crazy but I think they can get by with Tremble and Sanders as long as they stay healthy, assuming they resign Tremble. They need another for injury insurance for sure but I see it as 90% set for now. You are spot on with the rest.

If we attack the Defense the way we attacked the Offense last off season, we could be competitive next year. I would love a #1 wr, but I'm fine trotting out the same Offense. If we get a brand new Defense. If we had a middle of the pack D we win 3-4 more games easily.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
