8-8 record and keep Rivera. Or 3-13 and get good draft position?

Which would you guys rather have? Personally I want to extreme makeover this team. Nomore lingering left overs of the Hurney era. If we go 8-8 all that would accomplish is our new GM tempted to keep the same coaching staff and a dramatic knock down the draft board and we still have no playoffs or no winning season.

Personally I want a top 3 or maybe even top 2 pick, Rivera gone and our new GM have a strong hand to deal in the draft for a potential blockbuster trade with a top 2 or top 3 pick so we can be on the fast track of rebuilding, St Louis Rams style.

If Hurney wasn't fired I would say 3-13, but now that he's gone, and changes are going to be made, I want my Panthers to win as many games as possible.

Bit isnt that how teams stay stuck, they keep having average 7-9 and 8-8 seasons and getting knocked out of the top 10 come draft time and it takes years to finally build this team. I want to rebuild Rams style, get the 2nd pick amd trade ot for a slew of picks and grab a lot of great players. You can tell the Rams are a season or two away from greatness. Thats the exact path I want to follow.

That's the same attitude that lost us Matt Kalil. B) Nah, I don't like to lose games, but in the long term, I'd rather suffer now and win for years to come. Yet when it comes to this current coaching staff, I want another one.

This isn't the NBA where you have to have multiple top 2 or 3 picks to field a winning team. I want to win and I want to win now. If Rivera can turn our season around from where it is right now and get us to 8-8 (which would be winning 7 of our final 10) then he deserves another year.

Losing for draft position is not how you build. Losing fosters losing. Winning is contagous. Usually.

Someone nut kick Chud and get this offense in gear. That will save our season, and the coaching staff.

Anyone that wants to start over is delirious. We are not that bad. It just takes time to get the losing atmosphere turned into a winning one.

Too many of those. "But I deserve a winning team" type fans. Not enough of the "We are so close" ones.

    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
    • very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
