Is It Time To Gut This Team?

    Is this reactionary? Probably so, but I have been thinking about this for a few weeks now.  With so many of our starters most likely retiring or moving on after this season, I feel like this was our last real chance at a Suberbowl.  So should we scrap this team, and if so who is safe?

     To me its obvious that Newton, CMC, Luke, Jackson, Moore, Addison and Moton are safe.  Included in this gut would be the coaching staff and the GM, we have a new owner, its time for some new blood in the front office.

I don't know about "time" but with the veterans we have running their final lap and the low number of players we have under contract going into next season, there's a pretty good shot that this team will look a lot different a year from now.

This offseason's overhaul could potentially have a big effect on how this team looks over the next several years. That's why I want more capable hands then Marty Hurney's running the process.

For the past couple of seasons the FO has made the offense a priority, adding more speed and versatility. Now it's clearly time to address the defense, starting with the line.

Gutting the team means starting over with a new core. We won't be doing that as we already have a strong core, especially on offense.

It's time to retool on defense. We have to get it right in FA and Draft. The defense is struggling because guys like Kony Ealy, Daeshon Hall, Vernon Butler, and Daryl Worley did not pan out. Also,  Bradberry and Shaq show flashes but can't bring it all together. Time to move on from Wes Horton, Byron Cox Jr., Mike Adams, Captain Munnerlyn, Peppers, and probably Thomas Davis. The defense needs to get younger and faster. Several guys on the defense already have their second or third contract, I don't see much desire or want to. Detroit had their 4th and 5th string receivers out there, gave up 16 sacks in last 2 games, they should have been held under 14 points.

Wow— some part of me dreams of getting the right coaching staff and doing just that,..

having a Pederson(McVae hasn’t won anything yet) come in and do just that would be incredible.

the problem is you can get a guy that seems great,.. a Chip Kelly(although it could be argued that Pederson won a Super Bowl with the team Chip put together) or a Gruden or a Wilks or a host of others that so far have made our team look like a Super Bowl team.

so is anyone ready to have 3-4 ugly 2-14 type seasons if it goes that way? 2 coaches within 5 years? Cam gets traded in the process?

I wouldn’t say we need to gut the team but we are going to find out quickly (in the next two years) how good Marty Hurney (if retained) is.

These next two drafts are going to dictate the future of the Panthers with so many players retiring or moving on.

Just thinking about it from an elitist perspective, how many players do the Panthers have on their roster that are or have the potential to be elite at their position? Cam, McAffrey, Moore, Samuel, Turner, Moton, Kueckly, Jackson? That’s about it in my opinion.

The Panthers need to draft well over these next two drafts or they are going to have no choice but to blow it up.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By thennek · Posted

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
