What would have to happen this offseason for you to be "in" for this team next season?

We are at rock bottom and still digging as a franchise and it looks like next year is going to absolutely suck regardless of what happens this offseason. We all assume the worst for next year, so what would need to happen for you to actually care/be invested/ want to tune in to any games next season?

What moves in the FO need to happen?

Who do we hire at HC?

What players do we keep and what players do we get rid of?

What positions do we go after in the draft and FA?

I'm interested to know, because I myself honestly don't know what it would take for me to care about next year. My apathy is at an all-time high and I expect another abysmal year if Fitterer is still in charge of our roster.

Everything I have already said starting with outside help to hire a new person in control to run everything and keep the Teppers from the stuff they don't need to be near. New GM married to a HC with a long term plan more than just 'we are going to win blah blah blah'. Feel good is Tepper stepping away and the rest can go fug itself at this point.

Anything less is just more of the same. He won't land anyone decent if he is doing his usual methods.

If we stand back and let things play out as they should, I'll be happy.  No more rash decisions.  
 

This teams biggest problem every offseason has been getting desperate and making a dumb move, especially at the QB position.  For once I'd like to see the  team just be patient, make their draft picks, and wait until 2025.  That is what will make me encouraged that we've learned from our mistakes.

The way I see it, if Bryce turns it around, good for us.  If he doesn't turn it around, we will be in the running for the 1st pick in 2025.  So lets just ride it out.

"in" as in optimistic or "in" watching the games and following the team?

I'll be "in" next season like it or not as a PSL owner who never sells his tickets. 

 

But the one thing this team can do to get my hopes up: give up on next season. Give up right now. Trade every draft pick for future picks, sign no one in free agency, and admit that we suck and need to make decisions to benefit the future at the cost of the present. 

 

For 5 years now we have sacrificed the future for the lie that we are just out of reach of being a good team. 

 

No more, we are a bad team and need to face the music and start building like we are bad. I will happily attend those games and lose every one of them if it means our attitude has changed. 

 

If we trade up in the draft again I will pay for my tickets and no show each week.

Nothing will push me back out of 'just friends and academic interest' territory until it shows up consistently on the field. That doesn't mean winning every week, as it didn't this year or any year before, but rather decisions that lead to ratio and and logical team-building, personnel moves that actually make goddamn sense, and just some steady improvement and player and strategic development from week to week.

David Tepper has killed any and all credibility that he may have ever had, which was basically unknown-to-none in the first place, and over these 6 seasons there is zero evidence that he has any football sense whatsoever. He has a lonnnnng way to go to rebuilding any favor and earning the benefit of any doubt.

Gotta get rid of Fitt. None of that moving him around, taking personnel duties away from him bs. They have to get rid of him.

 

He has been the worst GM in the nfl during his tenure, and the worst ever panthers GM, and we don’t have a great history in that regards. Get rid of him

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.

      You got the gist of his main issue. He plays LB or whatever on D, but hates to tackle and contact. That's the summary.  I normally have a wide margin of " Hey vet min/bring him for try out/maybe he changed/etc etc". But he can not be trusted, * but he did just have his "best" season. He's like those RB that refuse to run between the tackles, bounce everything outside...they too are scared of contact. That's like the whole point of NFL, he's able to trick and athlete his way for 5 years, props to him and his agent.  Me personally I view him like virus, I wouldn't want him on film shying away from hitting while the rookies&UDFA are looking for how the Panthers do things. Plus Im the biggest sucker there is about giving former 1st, 2nd, etc another chances. Just not someone who doesn't want to play NFL and fools those with his god given gifts.  ____________________________________________________________   \ Not to add another layer to this, but I feel contact and hitting its the biggest problem for the NFL. I sorta agree with TEs, WRs, and RBs either going out of bounds or falling to the ground to avoid a solid hit(this goes out the window for 1st downs, SB, etc.) Like if a WR caught a deep slant and already gained 17 yards, but here comes a safety with a great angle, Im all for that WR to fall on the ground...... ugh...... But I think the opposite for my defense. I feel this topic is central sun hot and NFL has done a great job in avoiding it. Im surprised NFL is still allowed, I have huge doubts in the future.

      not sure if carolina picks a WR in this draft, they have some young WR already and will let them develop. Need another vet imo.  I think carolina is going to pass more to the RB's this coming season, look for them to move heaven and earth for Cam Skatteboo.  I really hope they go TE Warren in the 1st. That would add another dynamic to this offense.
