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.

      Clowney released

      MHS, You are missing Claudin Cherelus is a LB that's in the mix for the 4th spot. He's been here for 2 years and had a couple injuries. I mean he was a wavier claim and been here for evero system, just had bad luck when given a chance. Jon Rhat is the current leader mainly cause of he is the ST ace. But Id say, Cherelus has the same % to make the roster.  CB has the recent wavier claim of MJ Devonshire a 2024 7th rounder. He's got the good-great combine numbers but he's small size. Still he's in the mix for backup duties, in fact all the non-UDFA are wavier claims.  ______________________________________________________________   Dam shame about Clowney. I view this as a bad move. I feel clowny is well worth the 7.7, even as a backup. He played hard the whole year without help. I just feel he would have helped more than either DJ Johnson or Barno.  My only cope is he's 32 and at any point his miro-knee could force him to drop off a cliff performance-wise. I wanted to keep him around at least until the trade deadline and if no chance at playoff, flip him for a anything. NFL is a meat grinder, no love for locals....

      Might as well. We need to get these rookies on the field and see if they can play ASAP.
