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.

fans should be upset at only 6/7 wins

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.

The Texans won a playoff game last year.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
