  1. 1. How confident are you in this front office hours before the poop starts getting serious

    • Extremely Confident (Will make the right moves to get us to the playoffs in 2013)
      12
    • Somewhat Confident (Will make enough moves to keep us competitive at 6-8 wins but real progress won't be seen for 2-3 years)
      21
    • Not Confident (Hurney hangover)

Knowing what we know now, which is very little. With free agency 2 hours away and the draft next month and with almost no moves having been made, I am curious to get a feel for how much confidence the fan base has in this Panthers front office as it is currently constructed today.

I think the NFC is just too tough for us to make the playoffs this year, with our talent- Niners, Seahawks, Packers, Giants, Falcons... Leaves the Saints, Bears, Vikings, Lions, Cowboys, and us competing for that last spot...

Gettleman is going to need a couple of years to do things his way.

the giants man? really?. I just dont see them as the powerhouse they were 4 years ago. Half their defense has been released, no one to make up for it. The defense was their stronghold. Manningham went to SF, Cruz's future doesnt look to be with the g men, and hixon cant do it all himself. NFC east isnt the powerhouse it used to be.

Fine, replace the Giants with whoever you want from the East- my point is, either way, we are going to be competing for the last spot with those other teams.

The only adults that should be wearing headgear off of a football field are the handicapped. I know you almost qualify, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

They were used as chip bowls and then as a photo opp. They did not leave my parking lot. You're just mad cause they don't make helmets big enough to fit your dome.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
