I’ve tempered my expectations. Even with Svech, it was unlikely we were going to win a cup this year. I do think we are set up nicely next year. After that, Dundon and Waddell have some big decisions to make.

Fire Waddell. This team was the best team all year and we didn’t do poo except add 2 fuging scrubs in ghost and pool bath. Now we look lost.  When you have a window. You double down. That piece of $hit GM fuged us by being cheap. Now the hole is massive.

Yep. Waddell counted on everyone to stay healthy, including Svech, instead of getting a big scorer at the trade which we needed to replace Pacioretty .

From the information available, we tried to make a splash at the TDL. You’re also underestimating the influence Rod has on some of these decisions. I also think the value we have on some of our prospects is a little higher than other organizations around the league. The team clearly values an extended window over mortgaging the future for now. I’m inclined to agree with them.

I’d rather have 1 cup than 3 years of playoff flameouts.

I’d rather have 10 consecutive opportunities of winning the cup than pushing all of our chips in for one slightly higher chance. 
 

If we paid the price for a big time trade and didn’t win the cup, and the captial it cost to make that trade cost us our playoff window, you would be screaming for Waddell and Dundon’s head. 
 

We have a good thing going. Next year, we are going to be the team with the cap space and draft picks/prospects to make the big trade. NJD/NYR/Boston/Tor are all capped out and not in a position to trade more of their future.

I’d rather win a a cup. Just being  in the conversation will put us in the playoffs. This team is toast.

      If Bryce doesn’t produce, we moving on?

      By CRA · Posted

      it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.

      Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.

      2025 Panthers Draft Class - Overview

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
