Will we remain competitive next year?

This was the first thought that came to me as soon as Kubiak was fired. Now as more coaches get fired, I look at their records and wonder if we will remain this good next year and if this year was not an anomaly.

 

Gary Kubiak: Texans 2012 - 12-4

                                  2013 - 2-14

 

Mike Shanahan: Redskins 2012 - 10-6

                                           2013 - 3-13

 

Leslie Frazier: Vikings 2012 - 10-6

                                    2013 - 5-10

 

Gym Shorts: Lions 2011 - 10-6

                               2013 - 7-9

 

 

Why do you think we will remain competitive next year?

Oh yes.  Our defense is not only incredible, it is also incredibly young.  We will dominate on that side of the football for years to come.  The biggest question is going to be our offense.  What is going to be our identity there?  Right now, we have no real receiving threat.  Smitty looks like he's about to retire.  If we win the superbowl this year, I say it's pretty much 100% he will retire.  I've seen a few times him having a "What am I doing here" look on the sidelines.  I think he is coming to realize he doesn't have that burst he once had.  He still have the mindset of a fiery all-star, but his body isn't keeping up with that pace anymore.  If we can get this offense a good cast of receivers, the Panthers should be the best team next year, no doubt about it.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      The preference for smallish NTs was bizarre to me. I mean, you're already looking for a bit of a unicorn with a NT anyway trying to find a guy who can consistently hold his ground against double teams. Now you want to find a smaller, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, good luck with that...

      Yep. I had 2 shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) in college. What you say is true because the joint is a ball-in-socket joint and not like a knee, which is a hinge joint.  Another reason (this from my orthopedic surgeon) it is more difficult to overcome is because people want and need to walk, so they are constantly rehabbing the knee.  You can protect the shoulder and avoid using it.  And you can play with a banged up shoulder because it does not reduce your game speed much.  As long as I kept my arm in tight (close to my rib cage) I was fine--but when I extended my arm, I felt vulnerable and it was weaker, it seemed. A shoulder issue was common with LBs.  I don't recall seeing a LB in the dressing room without a surgical scar on is shoulder.

      F- pick. Taking a hurt RB is the dumbest thing a team starved for tallent could have done in the 2nd. As for planning for 2025, they could have just waited since he brought nothing to 2024. That entire argument that they were playing the long game is like such a copout, just admit it was busted from every angle. They bet poorly and lost. It was a dumb pick and a complete waste of a chance to pick up a meaningful player this team still desperately needs. Picks like that is why this team is picking top 10 ever y year.
