I don't know if it's going to be 2-14, but I can tell you I'm not expecting much.

It's likely to be bad, real bad.

Mind you, I'm okay with that.

And when we hit rock bottom, we know that we have a guy who can turn it around.

Another reason to part ways with these old vets---you make room for the kids to get experience next year.

Nobody is mentioning Addison.  I am guessing he is gone too.  The only UFA I hear us chatting with are Boston and Bradberry.

It's like if you were to say its impossible we win 10 games next year that's not being realistic because it could happen even tho it most likely won't. I'm only charting in my head the best possible route for us to be at our best using realistic things that could happen, I'm not saying they will. I would bet on a 8 win season next year if we retain Cam as the payout on the odds is probably pretty great lol. But yea I'll say 8 wins I have no problem sticking with it and admitting I'm wrong if it doesnt happen.

So am I. This rebuild needed to happen last off season

Hats off to a great player and person. Football-wise we all new it was coming. $11M for a guy with 90 receptions in 3 years is too much, especially a rebuilding one. We’ll save another $8M off the cap and send off another stud.

I don’t think Cam’s staying now.

[Cary Kollins]

Gonna go out of my lane and say I hope he doesn’t go to another team for one more NFL paycheck. Take your relative health and head to the broadcast booth bro. My body ached watching him try to play the game of football the past couple years

I hate to burst your bubble, but our 2015 offense barely scored more points than our 2019 defense gave up. Based on point differential our ceiling with the 2015 offense was the 9-7 Rams and we don’t have the 2015 offense of the 2015 defense whose 3 turnovers a game helped the the 2015 offense. Saying our floor with 2020 Cam is 8-8 is extremely unrealistic.

Ted ginn and J Stewart were our best weapons in 15...yes our defense was and will be 10x better then next year but we also went 15-1. Our 2019 defense was hurt bad at a position that we had no depth in...allowing 5yds a carry wont happen next year bet on that. If it does I wont be watching many games because it directly attributed to most our end season losses.

Would you want to play for a team in complete rebuild mode, with no chance of a SB run anytime soon? Maybe he hooks up with a contender for one or two seasons and gets a shot.

Good for him. Panthers aren't going anywhere anytime soon....time waits for no one.

Is this like when you said Will Grier had a “cannon”? What prescription lens made that appear? 

I was definitely wrong about that one but I've seen curtis play alot more. Btw I was wrong about you in particular being a garbage poster, my bad. I dont usually take stuff back so take what you will from it....

Gorgeous Greg Olsen will be missed

You can say the same about pessimists

@Toomers

Curtis does his job, run 9 routes 25% of the game, occasionally get open over the top and catch some comebacks and outs. He went above my expectations when he cought quite a few contested td passes, hes not exactly supposed to score that way at his size. He keeps defenses honest.
