Yeah, this is a preseason/offseason take. We will see what the actuality of the situation is after the season is completed.

Hey, I hope I'm wrong too. I wish I didn't believe this either. As I have stated many times, I am at peace with how terrible we are now. I just want some evidence this season that we can change it and are changing it. It's an insanely low bar but that's basically where we are as a franchise.

We THINK we have upgraded at offensive playcalling. We HOPE that is the case. One week from now we finally get a chance to see if that might be the case.

Poo for effect. Excellent analysis.

Downgrade: DL, LB/EDGE, CB, KR/PR No change/Push: QB, RB, TE, S, K/P Upgrade(hopefully): OL, WR I would say our overall depth is worse than last season, as well. Obviously subjective/speculative and we will what happens.

Burns was just overplaying your hand. You bought low, didn't sell high but couldn't let it go waiting for peak value again.

Some of that depends on position and the ability to immediately be ready to go. 24+ year old projects are just foolish.

Same will be said of the younger players, TBH. This is the beginning of a long road to roster recovery.

I think that is a TBD. We aren't that removed from the "in on every deal" era which was the most roster mismanaged era in franchise history. COULD we have turned the corner? Sure. But, this is also basically the same crew that has us where we are now in terms of the NFL's least talented roster. We will see what happens. Never count any chickens as a Panthers fan.

There is just no world in which I am gonna agree that we aren't worse. Now, this is a sinking versus floating turds argument ultimately.

If you just walk down the roster, if becomes clear that this is a worse roster than last year. But, some of that was just going to be the case. I am not saying it in a doom and gloom manner but factually. If our offseason moves turn out to be mostly above average and we look like we have competent coaching, then there is plenty of hope for the future no matter how many losses pile up this season.

This is a common and extremely unfounded fear by our fans. The PS to "stud" list contains so few players over the past 30 years that most of us can probably list the few cases. Coker is exactly what he has shown, a PS to borderline fringe roster guy. Noteable as this is currently the worst roster in the NFL. I was not surprised that most of the peiole we cut didn't get claimed. That isn't accidental.

This has literally been Brady so far, oddly enough.

Again, please don't do that. We literally don't know the result of this yet. He got handed a turd(same thing was said about early Fitterer) but ultimately this is leaps and bounds away the worst roster we have ever fielded. That has to improve over the course of the season and in 2025 for me to "trust the process."

Please don't do that. This is the same poo that people said about Fitterer.

Well our starting center is starting in Pittsburgh, IMO. Man we are gonna regret that one.

Also we have the bottom bottom of the roster in the league. We can definitely improve that.

Shows how polarizing he is.

Gettlemagic!

Pulling for him? fug that. He genuinely earned a roster spot, IMO.

It's one of the few. Butker is the other that comes to mind.

I will take that wager. I suspect he will never total 1200 yards receiving for the rest of his NFL career. Another in a long line of Panthers busts.

Name them.

Just a PSA for most Huddlers that haven't paid attention to the last 20ish years of the NFL, if a team is giving up on a top three round guy in the first three years of their career, it's not a good sign.

Did you know that is only 25 and multiple teams have already given up on him? Did you know that proven bust Sam Darnold is only 27?
