Observation: Panthers have a plan, you’re just not gonna like it

[Doc Holiday]

How do we know what the plan is? What is our goal and target?

look at the contracts we are signing compared to what our division opponents are signing.

Panthers aren’t planning to compete with New Orleans and Tampa for the next 2 years....

we are planning to wait them out.

make no doubt if you still had any at this point. This is a full rebuild with our plan to start competing again in 2022 at the earliest, probably 2023.

embrace the suck.

 

[Mr. Scot]

I'm okay with that if it works.

I'm not completely confident that it's going to work.

Done.

Now what?

[imminent rogaine]

Oh I like it. The only thing I would like to see is for any of these contracts we are throwing out now, to be 3 yr deals, structured in a way that we can cut bait if the player blows. This we we aren’t scrambling to replace these guys (if they work out) at the same time that we would be making a move at A high-priced FA to complete the team. 

[WOW!!]

Seem to be our plan.. The rest of the division is looking to compete now.. We're setting up for 2021 and beyond..

The long game is the smart play for sure...I just don't have faith for now in us pulling it off.  We need to go in full blown asset collection mode if that's the case.  Signing Teddy is the big problem though, unless it's to somehow someway help the young guys learn the offense quicker, it doesn't make much sense. 

If we truly want Lawrence/Fields - - winning 4 or 5 games isn't helping that.  So say we're picking in the 4-7 range next year, only to trade the farm of future draft picks to move up and get the guy we could've gotten for "free" or less capital by trotting out Allen/Grier. Not to mention our best trade asset in CMC probably isn't going anywhere, because Tepper still has to market somebody and sell jerseys. Also for the record, I don't want CMC traded at all. Shedding bad contracts is smart, take the dead hit this year, sure...but if we're truly rebuilding/tanking, go all out and don't half ass it.

Hopefully Tepper is ready to embrace a decline in ticket sales and merch.

I can embrace the suck for 2020, but we better have a winning season in 2021 and compete in the playoffs in 2022.  In today's NFL that's the expectation for a rebuild unless you're the Browns or the Jets.

I wouldn't bet on a winning season next year.

Year three? Maybe.

Wish I hadn't already bought this year's tickets. Anyone interested? Of course for ticket price, promise I will not try and make money off of this team.
