Doesn't it suck..

Actually, I'm more excited about this year than I was last year. yeah it sucks cause we are playing bad right now, but once we start to turn things around. (which is bound to happen o-line can't suck forever, running game always takes about three games to warm up, defense looks better every week, and Jimmy can only go up,) this panthers team is going to be a fast, athletic and scary underdog. I'm not saying we make playoffs, but I do expect us to finish somewhere around 8-8. Maybe I'm just too damn optimistic because I have waited soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long for the season to get here, but either way I AM NOT GIVING UP AFTER ONE BAD YEAR. Every team has them.

Like I have said so many times the Saints went from awful to champs in one year. Sometimes the cards just fall right and all of sudden you have a confident team that finds ways to win. The Panthers lack confidence right now. .......But that will all change with an upset win over the Saints this weekend.

    • Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.
    • It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?  
    • I have no problem drafting a WR, even as high as the 2nd, but I do have an issue with using a precious 1st rounder on it. Another WR is a need, but we also have a lot of other needs, and the goal should always be to draft 1st rounders that you expect to be on the team for 10 years if they stay healthy. In regards to Coker, one of two things happen.  He keeps getting better and becomes our legit #2 to T-Mac and we have to pay him accordingly, or he doesn’t. If he does, then using that 1st rounder on a WR this year was dumb.  If he doesn’t, then drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be smart, but then so would trading Coker when his perceived value would be at its highest. If we were already had a SB contending roster, then yes, a 1st Round WR to put us over the top makes sense, but we just have too many holes to fill to use it that way… again, unless the staff just doesn’t believe in Coker’s ability to become a true #2, which I think he really can be.
