With the current youth movement and the big ? at qb, Smitty has got to know that carolina is not currently in a position to make a strong run at a superbowl and hes not getting any younger. Could the best decision for both parties be a trade to a contender? Or did carolina bring in a platoon of qb's to see which one works best with Smith?

they brought in qb's for him, everybody saw how frustrated he got when delhomme couldnt get him the ball and turned it over all the time, I think he will be happy with moore and lafell on the field, and who says we arent a contender? we dropped delhomme, who was every teams best player, and we all saw hoe good r passing game was with moore, add that to our top notch running game and our ever improving defense and we have a great shot this year

we didn't draft WRs to replace him. we drafted them to complement him. and why can't we make a run at the Super Bowl? i mean not to say we will make it. but a playoff berth is within reach. Smitty isn't going anywhere

You have got to be kidding. We were 8-8 not 1-15. We finished strong our defense is good and our offense just got better. We added depth and this team is on the MOVE UP not down.

Smitty will be a career Panther stop trying to trade our best player for a ignorant assumption.

Not a very well thought out opinion.

So why are we not a contender? Do you not think if we had an average QB last year we would not have made the playoffs? The answer to that is yes we would have made the playoffs. Now take the fact that we should at a minimum have an "average" QB this year. We don't need a gun slinger, just someone that can hand the ball off and make 3rd down throws.

Now add the fact that we have some WR help for Smitty. I think we can contend just as much as anyone else in the NFL. You are never going to be perfect at every position. Every team has holes. You just hope you can make up for the holes in your team. Last year our defense could not keep people out of the end zone. I don't really see our defense being any worse than we were last year. Granted, we might not be much better, but definitely not worse. Take that and add a good QB and WR help. I think we will definitely make the playoffs and then potentially make a run once we get in. Once you get in the playoffs it all comes down to WHO IS THE MOST HEALTHY team and who is PEAKING. That is the name of the game come playoff time. If this wasn't the case then Minnesota would have definitely won it all last year. They were in my opinion the most talented team position by position.

All in all I am happy. We are in good shape and we will pick up some vets this week to fill some holes we couldn't accomplish in the draft.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
