When do you think the Panthers become an NFC South contender once again?

I don't post much on here, I do a fair amount of lurking... but I have been a Panther fan since day 1, and we've had our share of great times. I have never seen the organization as a whole look as disjointed as we do now...

So, I want honest opinions... how many years is this thing going to take before WE are the favorites in the NFC South like we used to be?

It could happen pretty fast if the new regime can have a good eye for the talent that they have now, and see what new parts are needed to fix it. And I agree that this first pick, or trade back for picks, are good choices, then it could happen fast.

Look at Mike Smith in Atlanta and Sean Payton in New Orleans, it took less than two years each to be legitimate. The one thing that may truly be needed is a new start with a new philosophy.

I agree with you.

You see horrible teams bounce back very quickly. I'd say our chances are good, especially if the coach can retain a lot of our "blue chip" type players (Williams, Stewart, Gross, Smith, Beason, etc.). We have a lot to build on.

Look at how quickly the Dolphins rebounded from their 1-15 season.

Next year. New coach will come in, the purse-strings will open, and we'll get help on the defensive line. Outside of that area, we really have a lot of talent on defense. Hardy will have a year in, Connor and Davis will be back, and our youth should make for a formidable unit.

On offense, everyone will have at least a year of experience, the running game is still there, Otah will be back, and assuming we get a competent OC, we should be able to really move the ball. Smitty will still scare some people, and either LaFell or Gettis should emerge as a legit number two. Best case is both of them start and Smitty moves to the slot.

This team has a lot more talent than you all seem to think. A lame duck coach and a horrific offense has made it all look a lot worse than it is. We would see a massive improvement next year even without a top draft pick.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
