Is anyone else getting the feeling....

[stbugs]

I said it before, the coaching staff sets the culture and winning makes it all better as well. Losing today wouldn’t have changed the culture Rhule is putting in place. This team hasn’t looked like the last two teams who clearly gave up at the end of the year. That’s nice to see. Sucks to feel like we might have dropped out of range to replace Teddy which is the key IMHO. We have plenty of weapons and can keep working on the D and OL but we need a 2011 Cam to get excited about.

On the contrary, I see us bumbling towards NFL purgatory where we consistently bounce between 6-10 and 9-7 for years. 

Bumbling towards it? Newsflash, we’ve averaged 7 wins over the last 4 years.

Our guys were playing hard and are playing for "each other".  This is where Rhule wanted us to be headed.

 

Picking 8 or 9, we might still have a chance at Fields.  Question is, will we want him?  He needs a big game against Clemson

I wanted us to lose, but I have to admit that I enjoyed seeing the players giving their all. That speaks a lot about Rhule. 
I also liked the fact that Rhule and Co. refused to get out coached by Rivera. 
it kind of hit me that Rhule (and probably any NFL coach) just has a winning mindset. A top ten pick to them is just a bittersweet participation trophy. They are probably confident enough in their abilities that they probably don’t give a rip about draft position.

Dynasty?  I just hope to win a game.

I like your optimism but not as confident.  Since Tepper has been the owner, the Panthers have played 47 games and lost 30 of them. They are 17-30 with Tepper as the owner. He has had 3-years to turn this mess around and it has not happened. A few examples of past turnarounds:

In 2001, the Panthers went 1-15 fired Seefart and hired Fox. In 2002, they went 7-9. In 2003, they came within a last second field goal of beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl. 
In 2010, the Panthers were horrible and went 2-14..and got Cam. 2011 was only 6-10 but there was optimism and improvement. 
I don’t think this Panthers team is an improvement over the 2019 team...It will be an interesting offseason and draft to see where they take this but if they need to start winning more than meaningless games if Tepper wants to be a winner.

They guys we are drafting and bringing in, are playing well.

Chinn, Brown, Pride, basically all the rookies are going to be really good.  RB, WR acquisitions were fantastic.  Not in terrible shape CAP wise.

Next season, we will win 10 games minimum

Man! All the darkness! Y'all need some flashlights!

Dynasty? Yeah I can't go there. The Defense is better than last year. The offense is not there. CMC has contributed little this year, we have no capable TE, the OL is not great and in major flux, we have pretty good offensive skill positions and TB is average. We need a FG kicker. There are still a lot of positions that need upgrading or depth. I like Rhule but this win was a killer. This is a QB league and we just screwed ourselves with a participation trophy. Ask me in 2 years

He goes higher if he has a big game against Clemson. If he's bad against Clemson then he's been bad against all three good teams he's faced. At that point, do we want him?

Put a quality QB on this roster and we are competing for a playoff berth this year. Unfortunately, our chances of adding a quality QB to the roster took a significant hit today.

Is there any QB that we might get with NFL experience in the off season... thinking like a QB that looks bad but just maybe on a bad team?

I think I’d be okay with him if we don’t have to give up draft picks... couldn’t be worse than 2 yard teddy
