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.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
