I don’t want to hear a single coach or player mention the “Playoffs” again until they are actually in the playoffs.

This week we heard GM Scott Fitterer talk about how this team “expects” to make the playoffs. I was really put off by this remark because there is no reason to expect this team to make it to the playoffs. 

Quite frankly I think this team needs to shut up with the Playoffs talk and focus on winning. The team posts these press conferences lauding the new players they’ve traded for and player interviews exuding confidence, some of them mentioning this team expects to make the playoffs as well. There’s no reason to assume this team will make the playoffs.

Don’t mention making the playoffs again until your next game is a playoff game. Just shut up win the next game.

I said it before...it was stupid to get caught up in all this new GM heroics craziness this early. This team aint there yet..and walking off the field with Losses trumps any heroics done in the front office. Especially games you had no business losing.

Buffalo and Washington have a better chance at winning a championship than Carolina. At least Carolina has a better shot than NY Giants.

Learn the lesson on what a quality front office and head coach look like, and you will be in a position to at least compete for a championship 2 or 3 times in a decade. Then get the top 9 players right and you can experience a dynasty.

I have no confidence in Rhule's coaching or Fitterer's front office to build a champion. Just wasting CMCs talent.

I don’t mind a gm planning on the playoffs because he is supposed to think strategically and be ready for those things.  Overall, I think Fitterer is planning for it but not betting the farm on it given the affordable acquisitions he has made.    That said, I think saying it out loud in public makes it seem presumptuous.  Extremely presumptuous given such a young team with this many holes.   
 

Players and coaches need to be concentrating on Sunday.  Nothing else.

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
