To their credit, the Panthers tried to make that very transparent from the get go with all the talk of a "five year plan" not looking for quick fixes, etc. 

I’m sure they’re even surprised at the success they’ve had this season record wise.

Ah the whole ‘equation’ mantra. If if if the saints do this and bucs do that and falcons don’t do this and we’re able to do that and not this...

lol how about just winning the damn division and not relying on the NFCS to suck to get in.

When we can be #1 despite what any other team does is when I’ll consider the Panthers arriving.

The NFL is chock full of sh-tty teams this season.

Even a mediocre team might look good by comparison.

With a lot of those sh!tty teams trending downward.

Teams with new coaching staffs looking awful still. Teams with rosters that’ll need a complete makeover. 

It certainly seems like we have a good one based on what we’ve seen and we’re trending in the right direction.

I agree. Cream has risen to the top quickly this year because other teams are falling apart in epic ways.

Teams like Dallas, AZ, CLE, CIN have newer coaching but aren't necessarily showing up or look good.  AZ's record won't stick. 

PHI, DET, ATL, MN, NE are on mega rocky ground right now.  Don't know about the longevity of their vets, coaching, etc. 

WAS, HOU, JAX, NYG and NYJ are simply falling apart. 

SF is the team having "that" year with the injury bug hitting mega hard.

None of those teams are trending up.

Then...

NO, Denver and Vegas are my TBD tight now/can't quite tell.  

We're trending upward along with LAR, CHI on the rebound and maybe LAC with Herbert.  There's not much but we're the one team trending with a new coach. 

Then...the cream:

TEN, PIT, KC, GB, TB, BUF, SEA

Voth doesn’t tweet a lot but when he does you should listen. 

So if you like what you’ve seen from Rhule and co. so far, be patient and... trust the process. 

But I’m sure come Sunday if we lose we’ll get more of the same reactionary threads 

 

I am absolutely happy with what I see.  Though we aren't a championship caliber team.  I do think the foundation is solid. Rhule has a plan and we need to be onboard with his plan.

Expectation for this season was 3-6 wins. Anything in excess of that is just icing for me. If they can find a way into the playoffs and get some playoff experience under the young guys belts, fantastic. But I have my expectations in check and have been very pleasantly surprised so far.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
