6-3

I actually don't disagree that these are games we should probably win, though KC is a lot better than the final score last night.

 

Ultimately though, I really don't know if I feel this organization has really earned success. The inherent problems in our philosophy have really damaged us this season, and when the criticisms that we haven't beaten anybody start inevitably rolling in, it'll be hard to say that it won't be deserved.

We have to somehow find our swagger. No babying and coddling. Own up to your mistakes, be better at your position and make it gel. After the butt kicking yesterday, Cam and TD going down, they have to come out and have a good week of practice and play a pissed off game. They need to be able to feed off of each other.

No pass rush. Safeties are trash. And corners who can't be expected to cover long enough. Yep 6-3 seems legit SMH. Winston Brees and Palmer will tear us a new one! How slow did our secondary look last night? Then you got martin, cooks, johnson and all there crew. Seriously if we get to 7-9 at this point with the pure putrid that's wearing the uniform in certain positions I'd celebrate like its the new millennium.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
