According to this, things are getting worse.

Personally, saying farewell to Ian Thomas and Miles Sanders should be seen as positives.

Austin Mock's 2024 projection model was... interesting.

Rico Dowdle, a 1,000-yard rusher, is an improvement on Miles Sanders. Bobby Brown is much better than Shy Tuttle, who actually stayed on the roster. Tershawn Wharton is probably better than A'Shawn Robinson, or he's at least as good. Tre'Von Moehrig is better than Xavier Woods, or again at least as good.

Somehow, that doesn't quite add up to an improved roster per the model.

One of the worst teams lost its worst players — oh my gooood

Yeah, parting ways with Thomas and Sanders is classic roster addition by subtraction. They can be replaced for a lot less cap space with waiver wire FAs or day three draft picks.

I like this, every time we are dubbed to win the preseason it gets worse. Also there isn’t really much room for things to get worse…don’t see it happening.
 

Like the past several years averages like 4 wins or so? So we are talking getting worse like 3 wins instead of 4? What a catastrophe lol

I personally like all the moves we did on defense...

Got some beef in the middle, a fast, hard hitting, instinctive safety, resigned our CBs, added a depth DE, a tackling machine at ILB....

Ugggh like WTF else you want DM to do? trade for Hendrickson? Parson? That's be dope but not happening!

Actually being worse seems highly unlikely.

Only improving marginally however is a very real possibility with this franchise. If you know the Panthers in and out then you know this. How many offseasons have we "won" in the past? Can't blame anyone for wanting to see results first. That's just the reputation that has been created under this ownership.

The goal of building a team is to find complementary parts which when put together are greater than their individual parts alone. Each year the team is different based on its composition and how well they work together. Just the fact that the offensive players have a year in the system as well as Canales has a year of experience as head coach will make them better. And how do you make the worse defense in history worse by adding upgrades at several positions. Brown being back alone is worth a few less points surrendered. 

No, we are going to be improved this year. How much is up for debate.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.

      If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving.

      Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
