This is something I have been repeatedly trying to warn Panther fans of. This is gonna be a pretty bad team next season.

The W's and L's are going to matter less(to a point) than if we start to look like the bones of a functional roster emerge. 

There is no quick fix coming. This is going to take time and a healthy dose of competent roster building to turn around.

But yet some teams can go from bottom 5 to a playoff team in one season

Unless its a complete disaster this coming year, like coaching incompetence, I think Dave and and Dan get a 3rd year together.

I suspect that Tepper is going to be overly patient with the staff.

That said, while I can see us only winning 6-9 games this year I see those games being played very differently this year. Last year was us getting beat up on. I think this year we play competitive ball and see another year of growth in our young players like Young, XL, Sanders

I dont expect playoffs this year, but I expect to see major steps forward on both sides of the ball.

I put our ceiling at 8 wins, and that assumes BY continues to develop in a positive fashion.  If he stagnates or regresses we'll be lucky to see 5 wins.  The defense will be better, but it's a dang long climb from 32 to average, let alone a legit playoff caliber defense.

Which ones? 

Washington went from a 4 win team to 12 last year. Change of ownership, coaches and a franchise QB can have that effect.

5 is overly dramatic IMO but 10 isn't.

I really don't think they're THAT far away now. They can take a big step this season IF everyone stays relatively healthy. Need contributions from 3 rookies. FS, WR and Edge. Not all pro level play, but just solid NFL play. No friggin 2-3 year project players!

No one is looking for super bowls we just want more wins than last season. if you won 5 games with worse defense in NFL history, you should win 6-7 with a bad defense and sometimes you get luckily. 

this feels realistic

Parity is a thing in the NFL I dont think its shocking to see bad teams become good when you plug in a few key players and decent coaching. But sustained success is harder to achieve.

Houston comes to mind 2 years ago. 

Houston made a big jump year 1 with CJ and came crashing back down this past year.

The Texans won a playoff game last year.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
