It could be worse...

We could be Buffalo that keeps a coach that goes 7-9 three years in a row because the medling 90 (yes folks 90...) year old owner is too cheap to pay for a real coach and to affraid to hire a real GM. There are other examples like Detroit etal as well.

I am not happy with the staff nor with Delhomme, but things could be much worse.

Of course it could be worse, but when we've made the playoffs in the past we have been relatively successful and we had never been bounced before the NFC championship. So to see us get dominated on both sides of the ball the way we did by the Cardinals sends everyone into an uproar, well mostly everyone.

I don't think many people are complaining about the owner of the team...........

Matter of fact, I don't think I have read anything anywhere that complains or bashes JR.

Im not complaining about the big cat just agreeing with the OP in that it could be much worse.

I am talking the overall situation could be worse. I do wish JR had stepped in already and forced some changes.

Living in Bengals country I can tell you that it could be very much worse. Mike Brown, since taking over the team in 1990, has run that franchise into the ground. Unlike JR he is not interested in placing a competitive product on the field. All he does is take advantage of the revenue sharing to make his wallet fatter.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
