Wait, so maybe, just maybe, I wasn't click baiting and trolling when I tried to warn you guys which way the front office winds were blowing after all?

 

Shocking.

One doesn't exactly have to be nostradamus to see the potential inevitability of the situation as things drag out further and further with a new head coach recently being hired.

They could still be blowing smoke and you wouldn't be doing your job if you weren't trying to get site hits.

We are picking Lawrence next year 

There's going to be like 6 teams purposefully trying to lose every game.  Whoever gets the #1 pick will have to go 0-16 or 1-15

We have CMC, Luke, DJ Moore, Burns, Bradberry, etc.  At minimum we'll win 3 games.

Unless this tear down involves trading CMC and Luke for draft picks so we can be bad enough to go 0-16.

Eh, you also said we were going to hire Josh McDaniels, so......

We will see what happens. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Kill it if you have to

For the simple minded folks like me, someone break down how in the fug you determined that quote means they are getting rid of Cam. 

[Carl Spackler]

We have excellent talent in CMC, Moore, Luke and Shaq -- with or without Cam.

But a team led by CMC, Moore, Luke and Shaq is riding an eight-game losing streak. Moral of the story: never underestimate our ability to lose.

all bets were off the minute tepper decided to get off his seat and make his mark on the team instead of acting like a placeholder with regards to football operations. it doesn’t take a clickbaity thread to figure that out.

if he and rhule take over the evaluation process then there’s a good chance that there are going to be a lot of hurt feelings on the carolinahuddle this offseason. if they’re still leaning on marty a lot of the status quo is going to be upheld and no tough decisions are going to be made in 2020.

What part of "tearing things down" includes Marty Hurney remaining in charge of personnel decisions?

It’s tank time boys.

It's a QB driven league. Look at the QB's that made the playoffs and the QB's that didn't. Without a QB, we are just going to be another bad football team in the NFL.

I just think to get the #1 pick, you have to be trying to lose on purpose.  The Bengals were starting Ryan Finley at QB to make sure they got the #1 pick, and only went back to Dalton once their spot was secured.

Are the Panthers going to deliberately tank (rest or trade CMC, start Will Grier all season, etc?).  It doesn't seem like something Hurney/Tepper/or a 1st year coach would do.

And the tanking will be super aggressive this year with multiple teams pulling a Bengals.  So even if you're trying to lose on purpose, you have to compete with the other teams doing the same.

Banking on getting the #1 pick is not good odds.
