Saint J's eight month plan to bring the Panthers to relavence


Saint J

Recommended Posts

1. Draft Luck...no hesitation. The Panthers have held out on drafting a real franchise QB for far too long. Luck is the best QB prospect to come out in a while as well. To boot he will be adeqaute enough early on to at least bring the Panthers back to .500.

2. Hire Harbaugh, with Luck in Carolina plus a bigger paycheck it seems like a no-brainer for him. He could stay in SF but without a shot at franchise QB, retarded management, and having to live in the same area where he just spurned a whole school and fan base isn't all that attractive. At Carolina you have a nice area to raise a family, a franchise QB he coached, an owner with reasonable expectations, and a non-crazy fan base.

3. Draft pass rushing DTs and WRs. It doesn't matter who, at this point you're throwing poo at the wall and hoping it sticks. Youth and potential is something you need at these positions.

4. Sign a big time DT in free agency or trade for one. This is the only big splash move Richardson has to make. If there is a pro-bowl caliber DT on the market or available through trade find him. Even that asshole in Washington would do as he would be playing in a 4-3.

5. Sign veterans to be mentors in two positions...WR and QB. Since Smith is alll about making sour faces and not doing poo it's time to find someone who can teach the young guys like Gettis, LaFell, and your newly drafted WRs. WRs take time to develop and they can always use a good mentor. Look at Roddy White with Joe Horn or a guy like David Patten for Meachem in New Orleans. 2nd you need a veteran QB, whether that's McNabb or Kerry Collins or anyone. Just a guy to help Luck out and start for a while if necessary.

6. Cut bait with Clausen...he's not NFL material.

7. Lock up the core of the team...Kalil, Beason, Anderson, etc. Lock them up and give them their pay day. Let DeAngelo walk, he's a great RB but RB is not a position of need right now. It's something nice to have, not necessary for success.

8. Keep Ron Meeks, while some of you want to cut bait with anything and everything Fox he is not really a 'Fox guy'. He coaches above what his talent is and will give Harbaugh a solid defense to work with.

9. OL depth...find it in the draft, FA, waiver wire, where ever. In 2008 the Panthers signed and drafted everyone asshole who was 6'5 and 300ilbs to play OL. Time to do it again.

10. Beat Atlanta this week.

Good write up, why do you care
one potential benefit is that the NFCS would probably become the best division in the NFC and could be among the best in the NFL.

right now we are the guys that is holding it back. we get a real QB and good coach in here and we are close to making it real.

I'm good with this, especially when the Bucs beat you. You won't stop Blount. It would be extremely enjoyable to see the Bears and Eagles with the byes .

The Saints had their best rushing day of the year vs. Tampa and I don't remember any of their backs being a factor.

    • Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11  
    • If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late  
    • Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
