Anyone else feeling hopeless right now?

I'm here in the Bay Area and the local sports talk radio is lit up with all the excitement over hiring Harbaugh. They're talking playoffs next year, next Bill Walsh blah blah. Sure it's kind of crazy but they have one thing that we don't - hope (at least for me).

We're the NY Jets when Manning went back to school. Indy went on win a SB and Jets were bad for years...

We've got no head coach and one of the worst QBs in Pickles I've ever seen. There isn't one person in the industry that gives Pickles a chance and I agree.

On top of that we have the leagues toughest schedule in a division where everyone has their franchise QB. We'll be at the bottom for years.

Luck was the one ray of hope - a franchise QB that puts us above everyone else in the NFC South and like that - gone. We'll never know if he was our saviour but at least he would have giving us the same excitement SF has right now.

Only hope is either a. lockout or b. we're so bad next year we get Luck anyways. Why would a potential HC come here anyway knowing we'll most likely lose all of our games?

Oh well. For the first time in years I will not be getting NFL package to watch my beloved Panthers here in Bay Area. Why would I?

We'll get a new HC along with an entire new coaching staff.

Pickles will get better or we'll bring in a true franchise QB in '12.

We have probably the most cap space out of anyone and should be a major player in FA.

We should get a total stud #1 overall.

I'm pretty excited to see how everything plays out TBH.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
