Some of you are still under the impression that the Panthers are trying to piece together a playoff team this year.

They aren't.

Right now they are more interested in young guys who show the most promise. They plan to crack open a window of contention that will last roughly 5-6 years starting as early as next season.

So if the Panthers do sign a rookie DT that shows promise, be happy. If they sign a second year WR that has the potential to be a solid #2 in this league... be happy.

In short, get your head out of your collective asses and start thinking in years, not weeks.

Love,

Zod

Excellent post.

I know someone is going to post "WORZT to FRIST!"

If we signed a few vets, I was thinking we could win up to 7 games, I still think we are going to win 5-6.

This is why were went a little crazy picking up guys off waivers, we are trying to throw talent against the wall and see what sticks. Then when we find out if some of these guys can play, and develop into cheap, reliable, young players, then next season we can add a couple pieces to make a run at a wildcard.

We bitched for years about Fox relying too much on vet, well folks this is the opposite.

The reason they have focused more on offense is Cam, they want to have 0 excuses for Cam not to develop, and to make sure that can protect and nurture him along the way.

I get what you are saying but I would be happy with not being embarrassed every week so I can go to work and not get harassed bc the panthers are so bad. We can worry about next year...next year. Im worried about Sunday and so should they.

Assuming you live in Charlotte, you shouldn't feel embarrassed when you go into work, regardless of our record. If you do, tell those Steeler/Packer/Cowboy wagoners to move.

I know its hard, but just try to lower expectations.

Btw, don't be embarrassed about the Panthers, people will actually respect you for sticking with your team no matter how bad they are, and when we are good again, everyone will know you are not a bandwagon.

In the end, it will be much more fulfilling.

It's not about going to the playoffs this year. I understand we are building for the future. That's great. But at the same time, we do need some veteran presence at DT. I like the youth movement the team has been going through. But I do not like the idea of having 3 rookies rotating at the same position.

Just want to be competitive from year to year. You know, like the Steelers, Pats, Colts. I will be shocked if we win 6 games this year. That being said, I don't want it to look like 2010, version 2.0, while we amass our 3 or 4 wins this year. We can lose, but let's not look horrible doing it. It's not like the Panthers can't put their best out on the field while not having to simultaneously break the bank.

Nobody is running around all willy nilly :willy_nilly: worried about making the playoffs. As a whole, haven't really seen fans who are that delusional.

Look at the Buccaneers from 09'.

They were the youngest in the league, and started a rookie QB to develop him.

Next season they won 10 games, and would have made the playoffs any other season.

Except they did not invest in the vets this offseason, I thought Nmandi or Joseph made perfect sense for them.

Thats the model.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
