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

 

They made the playoffs this past year as well

Most folks know that in close ballgames the difference comes down to one team executing on key downs and the other not. 2 years ago our defense was not good but our offense was terrible. Last year we started out terrible on both sides of the ball and the offense really gelled toward the end. Honestly there is no reason to believe our offense will regress. I think it will improve playing together and developing chemistry with each other. And the defense will be better because Brown and Brown will be a wall and shut the middle down while still collapsing the pocket on passing downs. Something that never happened last year. Pressure on the qb makes the back seven much better as they don't have to try and cover for 5 seconds on every play until someone comes open. We still  need some linebackers who can bring pressure, tackle but also cover TEs if needed. Is that too much to ask?

What I hope is that whatever position we choose, we find more dogs who like to scrap and work hard. Everybody working together without a bunch of prima donnas.

They should not.  This rebuild will require another round of free agency and a good draft in '26. Not sure why anyone would think we are on the verge of mediocrity. 

Going from 5 wins to  6/7 is really unacceptable.  Especially with our schedule.  Unlike Vashti I dont think people will get fired but I do think going into 2026 the heat will be ratcheted up to about 10.  But she is correct that if we only win 6/7 people are going to question bryce, Canales, EE, Morgan etc.

 

I hate to think what this team looks like if we have to do another rebuild after 26.

I don't mean to come down on you individually here. But I have to say. Please for the love of anything sacred can you and others stop with this idiotic cope? The Houston Texans regardless of the struggles they dealt with in 2024 have made the playoffs and won a playoff game in back to back seasons after being one play away from the first overall pick in 2022. Our Panthers haven't made the playoffs since 2017. We have got to stop carrying water for these decision makers here in Carolina and trying to diminish other franchises. Nobody in this organization has earned even a shred of benefit of the doubt.

I don't know if playoffs was in the cards..the NFC is doodoo soo...maybe? But he for sure would have played better than BY over these 2 years. 

I mean Texans also drafted will Anderson, who is a legit top tier edge. They also had a log-jam of offense talents waiting to blossom once a real QB was throwing. Plus, Texans didn't trade a kings ransom for Stroud, like a lower end #1 WR on the best contract value in the NFL. 

They also had the new juice from HC, OC(rip in 25), and DC. Add in luck and bang.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
