" It is agonizing that we have not performed at the level we had planned for and expected. "

lolwut

Not performing at a playoff level was expected considering how young and relatively inexperienced the team is, but I don't know what JR was expecting. Maybe he hoped we'd have a 3-9 record by now instead of 1-11?

Going forward, our plan of attack is to build through the draft while retaining our core players. We have one of the youngest teams in the League, and a number of those younger players have shown genuine promise in this otherwise disappointing season. We won't give up on them. We also have a solid nucleus of veterans that we will seek to keep intact.

Means, I'm not paying for high priced FA's.

He should have pulled the trigger on Fox a year ago. Lame duck coach gets you a season we have right now. That's why there haven't been many of them... trying to save a little money in the big scheme of things lost more money. Maybe a new coach would have saved the Panthers from being the laughing stock of the NFL.

It was nice of him to send that but what he dose next year will define him for years to come. If he goes cheap once again he will pay dearly for it.

This is the first year he has ever gone cheap. And we all know that was CBA related.

There is no reason to think he will not go back to spending in order to put a competitive team on the field once a new CBA is signed.

JR takes full responsibility while his fans pay full price.

It was nice of him to send that but what he dose next year will define him for years to come. If he goes cheap once again he will pay dearly for it.

yup, you can say what you want about Snyder and now Bowlen in Denver. But at least they are trying to put a winning team on the field, and that keeps fans in the seats and in front of the TV.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
