Post your 2023 Off-season Predictions!

[GOAT]

we hire Reich as our HC.

we finally move on from OG's like Shaq.

we make some really low end signings in FA.

we draft Levis at 9.

we re-sign Darnold.

we open camp with a 3 way open comp for QB, Darnold, Corral and Levis.

Darnold starts the season but is eventually injured, Corral looks like garbage which results in Levis making a mid season start, showing promise and narrowing missing the playoffs again.

More proof that PFF has no idea how to rate players.... I'd be over the moon if this happened.

[Cdparr7]

Wilks hired as HC. 
 

Campen, Tabor, Holcombe, Ian Scott, McAdoo, Nixon retained. 
 

McAdoo made QB Coach. Freddie Kitchens hired as OC. 
 

Holcombe kept at DC (eye roll). His staff gets filled with Buffalo and Washington assistants. 
 

Panthers resign Bozeman, Foreman. 

Panthers cut Shaq.

Panthers trade Burns to Houston for 2 first rounders. One 2023, One 2024.

Panthers sign Geno Smith, a big name Defensive Back, Veteran Edge, and average WR.

Panthers use one 1st rounder on Mayer, another on a DB.

Draft a LB and QB on day 2.

Kitchens doesn’t want to be an OC. It’s why he didn’t entertain the vacant job at South Carolina (where he is now).

Scott Fitterer would be fired by week 5

Based on the requests for interviews:

HC- Shane Steichen (Eagles OC)

OC- Brian Johnson (Eagles QB coach)

DC- Gus Bradley (Former Colts and Chargers DC) 

Notes about the coaching staff: I think Steichen's ability to develop QBs will be something Fitterer and Tepper will really like and overall will sell them on him. I think Steichen will use his connections from both the Eagles and Chargers to develop a decent staff. By bringing over Johnson, I think he will continue where he left off with the Eagles but will have his choice at QB. Defensively, I think Bradley will be brought in because of their time together with the Chargers.

QB: Will Levis 

I think they really like Stroud and Young better but just didn't want to risk losing picks and decide to go with Levis and develop around him.

2023 record: 8-9

Where did you see the Gus Bradley news? This would be horrific.

Dude went 14-48 in Jacksonville. Matt Rhule had a better win % than Bradley.

He wouldn't be HC... I was mainly listing him as a candidate for DC but only because of his connections with Steichen. Steichen could very well go a different route.

Gus Bradley news? I was just purely speculating about him becoming DC but it was announced by several news outlets that the Panthers had put in a request to interview Steichen 

[falconlynx]

Lots of hate around here:

Wilks hired as HC and most coaches retained including McAdoo who showed great progress once Darnold started. 
 

Darnold signed to a 2 year 20 million deal. 
 

Draft BPA at #9 who is hopefully an edge rusher or stud WR. Get a receiving TE in the second. Draft a falling QB in the 3rd.
 

Restructure Shaq, re-sign Boseman and Foreman for 2 year deals, and extend Burns long-term. 

 

Win an even weaker division easily. 

[Aussie Tank]

Coach. Ben Johnson

QB- Will Levis

FA- Boseman, Chark,Geseki ,Dunlap I think is FA again 

Other draft picks- MLB, RB, Safety 

[kungfoodude]

- We hire an offensive head coach(finally).

- We move up in the draft to get a QB.

- We aren't able to sign Brian Burns to a contract extension prior to the season.

- We sign a starting caliber veteran QB in free agency.

- We don't improve our kick returners.

- Shaq Thompson gets restructured.

- Huddle will spaz out at least twice a week for the entire coaching search period, free agency period, draft period and pre-training camp period.

Hopefully it isn't too costly to do so.
