This is one of my big sources of entertainment. And I have been entertained. 

Me too.  If you consider the recent upswing in GM and coaching performance and even ownership performance, it does feel like a return to something close to the good ol days isn't unimaginable.

Third Down: The Panthers Buy a Window
The Carolina Panthers won the NFC South last season, and general manager Dan Morgan seems to have looked around peering at all of the mediocrity the division has to offer and realized he could prop open a legitimate window for the next several seasons

Carolina’s adds on defense may make the most transformative impact, but Metchie is a sleeper to watch

While Phillips only produced five sacks last season, there is optimism in Carolina that because Ejiro Evero plays a similar scheme to Philadelphia’s Vic Fangio, that the Panthers can not only convert some of Phillips’ 73 pressures into sacks but also that those pressures will create opportunities for Brown and Nic Scourton, who posted five last season.

Lloyd imports an attitude and elite nose for the football to a defense that needed both.

these moves have the potential not just to launch Carolina up those rankings in 2026 but solidify this as the team to beat not just in the South but to be respected as a postseason contender in the years ahead.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
