This team will be better than the previous two years. For some reason dipshits here are too enamored wit hating Rhule to see it. Once the wins become more consistent and the playoffs look like a possibility, I hope to consistently annoying pessimists to eat crow and apologize to those trying to be as optimistic as reasonably possible. And you know what, if they don't make the playoffs and Rhule is fired then we get to have a new regime to get excited for. Stop crying fug your wife or whatever your significant other identifies as and be happy you like sports and orifices to lay your chode in. Good day. 

in 5 years....

it’s always entertaining to me all the posters who get all pumped up because the long off-season is over only to start idiotic threads when poo hits the fan early Oct and then completely disappear at end of Oct when ‘their team isn’t winning’ only to come back, maybe, next august to start the cycle again calling negative posters who point out this trash for what it is, and post/contribute  all season and off-season, ‘not real fans’ lol

you guys aren’t special, there is literally an influx of your dumbass bullshit at the beginning of every. Single. Year.

We have three BIG question marks even if Baker is at least the temporary solution to our QB dilemma.

1. Coaching

2. OL

3. DL depth

Is is possible we could make a shocking run? Honestly, yeah. But everything has to go perfectly and that's highly unlikely. We have no capacity to sustain any injuries in the trenches.

We haven't had a winning season in years and we've been stuck at 5 wins for too long. just because people don't think that we'll see much improvement at all under rhule, especially not enough to see us become a winning team, much less a playoff team this year and be frustrated about it doesn't mean they hate everything. rhule has to prove that he can make this team a winning playoff bound team. there's been nothing to show that he can be. until he proves otherwise, he's a losing coach and we're stuck in a holding pattern.

I was referring to the poster calling people names and telling them shut the f up. So aggressive.

but we also have some of the more blindly optimistic posters doing the same thing to those who don't see us as serious contenders because of who is coaching the team.

Look I'm not a fan of Rhule, but why do we care about optimistic posting???  Honestly it's the only time us Panthers' fans have a chance to be optimistic before our dreams come crashing down in the regular reason.  Why would anyone be angry and try to take that from someone?  Everyone has the same record before week 1 and who knows what can happen during the season.  Odds are we will be bad again because Rhule has yet to prove otherwise, but I'm all for some optimism around here even if it's just during the offseason/preseason.

Exactly. The mods don't notice that this place has the tone of teenage girls shrieking about boy-band drama mainly because they're part of the group doing it. There are honestly people on here that think David Tepper reads the huddle and will do as they wish if they whine hard enough. It's run off a lot of good posters. Again, I'm not sold on Rhule, I don't mind the criticism, it's just the redundancy. 

There were four "Fire Rhule" threads after a preseason loss. To quote Letterkenny's hockey coach, "It's fuging embarrassing!"

Yeah, but at the end of the day there is no reason to give the negative or the positive the boot or reduce their voice bc their opinions are different. It’s just a weird behavior to tell someone to stfu bc they are excited about their football team. Also, the same for those are pessimistic. It’s a weird flex to get angry at each other for that stuff.

why does anyone care about negative posting? it's always been the case that when people aren't optimistic and voice their opinion about the team that those superfans that are always optimistic feel it necessary to go after those who aren't. sooo...why care? why the crusade to attack all the fans that don't feel good about the team? i mean do the superfans get any brownie points for being defenders of the cause?

If we cannot be optimistic now, before we've even played one game, when the hell can we?

    • SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-
    • The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
