You never know, dreams do come true.

A good example is the Panthers getting the best Left Tackle in the 2022 draft, when it seemed they wouldn't.

[Cullenator]

This off-season I predict that:

• I will drink a case of Dhalwhinnie scotch
• I will move more that 1000 miles from my current home to a new one
• The Panthers will do Panthers things
• There will be a combine
• It will be hot as fug in Charlotte this summer
• Panthers will draft players in various rounds
• Panthers will cut players
• Ill be ready for kick-off of a new season with great hopes for a title

More of hopes than a prediction, but Ben Johnson & C.J. Stroud.

I think Houston will trade up to the first pick to block Indianapolis from choosing their favored quarterback. From there Chicago will trade out again, hopefully to the Panthers. I believe Young will most likely go first overall, leaving Stroud to whomever makes the trade.

Would be totally happy with this.

I think Wilks sells his ideas on offense and gets the job.

We resign Bozeman. Foreman is ok, but he has hands of stone. Sam gets re-signed as well. We give Burns a billion dollars.

Shaq and Elflein are cut but we still fail to come close to replacing Luke.

[Cavscout]

I am going to change mine and say the Panthers will trade for Lamar Jackson. After that it really doesn't matter who the coach is, but let's go with Shane Steichen

[PantherKyle]

Wilks is not getting this job. The writing is on the wall. Confused people are not getting that. We are on candidate #10 of requests.

Reality:  It is in everybody's best interests if Sam Darnold finds a new team.

2023 Prediction:  Panthers will sign Sam to a two year contract for an unjustifiably large amount of money.  He will continue to be one of the worst QBs in the league and painful to watch.

"unjustifiably"?

If he starts, then yeah.

If he's signed for Backup money, and he's just there to hold a clipboard and watch Corral or Richardson(or whomever the Panthers draft at QB) go out there and show us what they got, it shouldn't be that much of an issue.

Of course the Panthers could find someone better to fill in the backup role but will they?   That's the question.

My prediction is that we disappoint 50% of the Huddle

The huddle implodes and thinks they're better off running this organization

Seems about right.

However, to be fair, Tepper has presided over the longest streak of consecutive losing seasons in Panthers history.  That certainly didn't take Dave very long to accomplish.

I'd be willing to bet there are more than a handful of individuals posting here that could give Tepper a run for his money.  Not saying any of them would do a great job or even a good job.  I'm just saying it wouldn't take much to surpass what Tepper has accomplished to date.

Imagine the Bears do fall in love Bryce Young. I would love to drop Fields into a Shane Steichen offence for our 1st a 3rd and future 4th

Nope. Take him there, don't eff around and miss him. We need a receiving TE more than just about anything else here. The lack of a good tight end has left the middle of the field to the defenders and is one of the main reasons DJ, TMJ and Laviska can rarely get open. We can't stress the seams enough. 

In the past, we could rely on CMC to do that work some, but those days are gone.

The only other potential spot I'd draft is DE at #9 but only if one of the two best somehow falls to us. 

 

No,, We need some one who touches the ball on ever snap. Not 7-10 targets  a game.

WE DO NEED A TIGHT END THAT IS PART OF THE OFFENSE, WHO CAN CATCH A 5 YARD PASS OVER THE MIDDLE  EVERYTIME WE NEED IT.  2ND OR 3RD ROUND

No, we need someone who can open up the field and give a QB a working target on every frikkin' play.

First round. Spend the pick, get the man, move on and win.

There's not a great QB that deserves a 1st round pick this season, grab someone in the second or third.
