A few years? Falcons go 4-12 in '07, get a new GM and HC then win 11 games the next season. Turnarounds like that happen ALL the time in the NFL.

Just because the current Panthers FO has been stuck in the "stick with what we got, business as usual" attitude for so long doesn't mean that things can't change dramatically if you get the right guys for the job.

There's no reason this team can't be in the playoffs next season. None. I would say at WORST one more down year before we could have a perennial playoff team, again though, only if you hire guys that know what they're doing.

So with one year's difference we would be using basically the same talent on the field as we have now. That would be talent that Hurney has assembled. Which is it, does he suck or has he assembled the peices for a perennial playoff team?

We don't offer guys the guys we should in the offseason. If another GM is here, he can rework the roster, and pick better FA's. Not the likes of Ajirotutu, Nanee, Colin Jones, Olino Mare, Nakamura.

The idea obviously would be to make some serious changes to the roster. I know after 10 years of the Hurnster it's easy to get trapped into that "stick with that you got" mindset.

Sign me up.

The last 10 years have been piss poor patchworks of defensive units. Gimme a fugin break here, but lets get real. How many superior FA's have we passed upon just because we did not have enough $ left over because we are overpaying our guys. Not for nothing, but id much rather we released CJ and picked up Mario Williams. Hes at least worth the money.

Deangelo too. I love the guy and all but his contributions to the team does not match up with his paycheck. Stew, Goodson and Tolbert would have been a cheaper and just as efficient running game. Imagine we didnt spend the money on deangelo and picked up Manningham or V Jackson with that money we wasted on him?

f[Hurney]+[bad monetary decisions]x[10 years]= losing seasons all around.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
