Do we have the pieces in place to have back-to-back winning seasons for the first time ever?

I think we absolutely do. We have a lot of guys on 1 year deals, but almost all of them are interchangeable with free agents or lower round draft picks. Cam, Kuechly, Star....damn great nucleus. I hope we resign Kraken even if he didn't play well today.

 

If Gettleman can find another rookie in the vein of the last 3 first rounders we've picked, 2014 has the potential to be even better than 2013. Hoping we draft a receiver high and stay completely away from defense in the first 2 rounds.

 

Keep your head up Panthers fans. In 2008-09, our window was closing. In 2014, our window has just started opening. With our core, we're built for sustained success.

 

Better days are to come.

We dont Resign Hardy...No

 

This team is carried by the D........The front 7 of the D.  Don't keep that intact.  Your throwing a young QB into a gunfight with a water gun, with the weapons Cam has.

 

We keep the the front 7 intact we stay the same, we do that and fix the WR's and DB's we improve.

I think we do.  If we can keep as much of the D together as possible and get some effective upgrades on offense this off season, there's no reason we can't back to back winning seasons.  This loss stings a lot, but I agree we are on the way up.  Felt totally different after the 2008 loss.

Still a good number of holes even before free agency. I don't know if they can all effectively be filled with the draft either. I think we overachieved this year but grabbing at least 2 starters in the draft again and the right role players in free agency and we can go back to back.

We are what we are. We are transitioning out of the Hurney era. We have holes. I think we have a good core coaches and players. I believe the G will do what it takes to get the holes filled and we have already changed the culture. So yes. I have been saying it all year. This team is going to be a force for years.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
