What do you guys feel the outlook for this year and the future is?

I still think we have a top 5 in the NFL OL and the best pure RB tandem in the league. I think we have a top 10 WR and a QB on the rise. Defense has some question marks.

I think 9-7 and a playoff spot is possible.

The future? I really wondered why Cowher didn't take the Buffalo Job being offered 10 mill from Ralph Wilson. With the passing of his wife I guess we know the real reason. That said, I can see him being willing to come back now and if the Panthers job is open next offseason then I can really see him taking it.

10-6, we make the play-offs. Our offense is going to absolutely tear teams apart now that we don't have to worry about turning the ball over every other series. Defense will take a while to gel simply because of the D-line, but our back 7 is as good as anybody's.

Who knows. Our defense is a complete mystery at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if we went 12-4 or 4-12. We have the youngest team in the league. It will be a lot of fun to watch this year. A lot of guys need to step up, mainly on defense. I feel pretty confident about our offense - defense, especially the line scares me to death.

Whatever our record is, I know I haven't been this excited about a panther's season since before 2005 season, getting Smitty back from that broken leg. This year we have so much unknown talent and youth bursting at the seems. We've all been clamoring for youngins to take over for ineffective veterans for so so long now, and now we get what we've wanted. Win or lose, I'm just stoked to see how it all pans out. I personally believe we can get to our 3th championship game this decade...

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
