True

in a dream world yes, maybe

in the real world it is impossible to spend the same amount

in the real world spending money does not automatically equal success on the field

our line does not look that much worse than it did last season if you take into account the best center in the game is on IR. Everyone across the board is performing below board. An all-pro O-line does not make a huge difference this year.. We are focusing on all the sacks we take when we are trying to come from behind and every defense has their ears pinned back. Better Oline will only help a little in that situation and definitely not enough to make a difference.

we are predictable, inefficient, poorly motivated, and without any semblance of an offensive leader. What's more is that our limitations on both sides of the ball are glaring and our tendencies to overcome them are transparent.

We don't dictate anything and we play a very reactive type of game.

Until MAJOR changes are made ranging from as obvious as a new OG or two to a fundamental change and absolute commitment to our philosophical approach to the game, we are gonna bounce between league doormat to almost relevant.

Playing from behind? You haven't watched many games have you? Our problem is that we ****** defeat from the jaws of victory, not that we get manhandled.

that is all you got from that post? wow

Yes, from behind. As in, in the final minute. Behind, where we are when the game ends. Behind, where we are as soon as the other team watches what our game plan is and figures out how to stop it cold and for good. Behind, where we are in practically every offensive category and statistical category that matters.

I really did not think I would have to explain that one

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
