It's 2010 again. We're always going to be that team with good defense (sometimes) and a slow ball control offense.

 

The ride never ends.

Did Shula's style of offense create this mess that we appear to be in? Nicks is taking less money to go to Indy for a reason. I also expect that the value we now place on playmaking wide receivers is relatively low.

Discuss.

 

And also the possibility that Smitty was booted out because he was telling Cam to do the opposite of what Shula would tell him... If that's the truth, then yes Shula's to blame for this entire situation and I think he should've been fired the day after the playoff game. I'm pretty pissed that he's not only still here but he's also got a contract extension.

I really don't understand what people don't get. Go to overthecap.com or spotrac. It really is so simple. Our salary cap situation is awful. Terrible. Mind Blowingly bad.  Next year we still cannot cut either of our RBs without taking a cap hit. We have over 100 million committed next year to under 30 people. We have not cap room and Cam, Luke, and Star make up none of that pretty much and Hardy is only signed for this year.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
