This is 100% what this is. The Patriots, Ravens, Steelers, Packers, Falcons, Saints did not dump contracts...stagnate the growth and development of players/coaches for the CBA. JR did...as we have seen the last 2 years.

His sons were against this so they were fired. He brought a president in to say yes sir...and execute this CBA "panic room" plan that is the Panthers.

I think JR thought he had the ear of the majority of the owners 2 yrs ago but as the lockout looms closer, owners and Goddell see the horrible PR and financial impact they may take and maybe refocusing on having a resolution.

JR did it to plan...others owners kinda did it and if there is a resolution then all of JR's decisions the last two years: not renewing contracts, not getting Free Agents, Keeping Fox for 2 extra years(when he would have fired him), firing his sons, losing all the assistants.....this may have long term effects if JR becomes the face of owner greed in spite of winning, fans and his player-coaches.

I mean if you are a high profile Free Agent is the Panthers organization where you want to go? Is JR who you want to play for as he tried to dissolve the player union? Possible Black balling from the players side is a great possibility.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
