So everyone is already talking about how Carolina will be a big contender next year.

We are young, have some great pieces in place and have a solid young core to build around.

We also have a players coach who just won coach of the year

We finished 12-4 in the regular season, #2 in the NFC which is >AFC

The NFCS is one if the top divisions to play in, as a player you get tons of exposure with lots of primetime games

BOA is becoming a hard place to play on the road in (we still have work to do mind you)

We are a few pieces away from being a carbon copy of the reigning Super Bowl champion.

I suspect Gettleman will make some great signings this year and it won't be because we were just lucky to land someone big, it will be because players will want to come to a team where they fell like they can win the Super Bowl.

Now am I right or am I right?

Agree panther football is now a winning brand and with two elite players leading both sides of the ball Cam and Luke, and Rivera signed up long term and being nationally recognised as a top coach, I think players will see us as a great place to play there football.

True.  Look at what Seattle did last year.  They went out and got Cliff Avril and Percy Harvin.

 

 

Harvin came at a steep price (1st, 3rd and 7th rd picks), but both of these players played huge in the Super Bowl.

 

 

In 2012 the Ravens went and picked up Boldin, a guy they wouldn't have won the Super Bowl without.

 

 

There will come a point where we will have to land a high quality free agent, and he will probably choose Carolina because we are only a few pieces away.

The only problem is the position I think we could use a big name is the one position that Ego and $$ come into play... WR.

 

But to play Devil's Advocate to myself, The One WR I would actually like to see us land (1 to 2 year contract of course) is from Charlotte played Football in NC (If you consider what UNC puts on the field football MUHAHA) has ties to our GM and I think would like to come Home to the point where he may take a team Friendly deal.

If I were a decent DB, I would take a close look at Carolina.  That front 7, the #2 Defense in the NFL, etc.  Hard to look bad when the QB is rushed every play and the run game is shut down.

 

If I were a DE who had a down year, I would watch the Hardy situation.

 

If I were a WR, I would take a look at the number of targets I could get in this system.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
