We have an o-line capable of being top 10. Hubbard got almost 1000 yards with last years line .Brooks once healthy could be special. Leggette and Sanders could provide a boost as well. We need to win the TOP. 
 

Our defense is what could kill us. Not much pass rush, not much secondary, lb’s are average at best.

You legit took our worst things last year and made them our best and best things and made them our worst.  Absolutely horrendous take.

Tepp and his cronies adopt the 'rebuilding' mindset as he attempts to shed the label of being the worst owner in professional sports.  Each victory is celebrated as part of the rebuilding plan.  Moral victories are found in close losses.  By end of year, apathy sets into the stadium and players as seats are filled with opposing fans.  

Interior OL upgrades will be a huge improvement which will help Bryce's need for pocket space.  However, will still be limited to open receivers in short / intermediate routes.  End of season speculation that Panthers use another top 5 pick on a QB or more weapons.

Bad.  So bad Canales pulls a Vermeil and has open tryouts.  I of course tryout and become the Panthers version of Vince Papale. I play all positions. Both ways.  We continue to lose games but by significantly more points.  Probably has something to do with the fact I curl up in a fetal position each snap and refuse to lineup within 10 yards of anyone.  We secure the #1 overall pick thanks to my heroics.  I lobby I should earn a slot in the Panther Ring of Honor.  Tepper denies me but Tepper is an idiot.  I return to the huddle to bash Tepper.

I know it is cliche, but I think it will come down to whether the team can stay healthy at a few key positions. I think they’ve done an admirable job reshaping the roster, but depth is paper thin.

Depth is for sure not there but the starting line up doesn’t look too bad.

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By rayzor · Posted

      Would it be possible to do that trade without us getting Watson?

      I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

      Stop the obsession with the QB position

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      A look at all the QBs making championships over the past 35 years says it's not 1st round QB driven. There are only 64 championship QBs, and this includes Jake Delhomme, Kurt Warner, Case Keenum, Tom Brady, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, Eric Kramer, Brock Purdy, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson and more non 1st round QBs. 5 of these QBs went to a championship in the past 10 seasons. 3 of the 5 won how many of the past 10 SBs? Foles beat Brady. Mahomes and Brady have won 7 of the past 10 SBs. Mahomes walked into a ready made contender. The other 3 are Foles, Manning and Stafford. We know Manning did nothing. It was defense. Stafford managed a defensive game. Foles beat Manning in an offensive shootout. Keep in mind Manning and Stafford were not drafted in the 1st round for the team that won the SB. The Rams have drafted how many 1st round picks in the past 8 years? The Broncos only drafted defense in the 1st round for 5 straight years leading up to their SB, and that's what stopped Cam. Any QB game manager can get you to the playoffs. OL, running game, defense and coaching carry the load during the season. Clutch QBs are needed in the playoffs to get to the championship games, and there is nothing favoring a 1st round QB being clutch over all other QBs. Never draft a QB in the top 20 picks unless they have a professional sports pedigree! If you need a QB it's simple competition and steady flow of a QB type (physicality/talent is not a deciding factor for champions). Sticking to a competitive strategy that filters out QBs who are high TO% and low clutch performance will always work. You're always looking for the one who refuses to give up the starting spot by feeling momentum, showing high situational preparedness, and knowing when to take risks. Top 20 picks should be defense with few exceptions. If you want offense, trade down to get more picks for defense and OL. There should always be a 4 QB rotation (3 roster and 1 practice squad) on the depth chart until 1 has held onto the starting spot for 34 games. Then go to 2 QBs on the roster. Patience in this process is key. There will never be a QB allowed to fail for more than 5 straight games for the myth of long term development. This QB strategy results in hitting on a franchise QB within 3 seasons while building a strong defense and deep OL. The defining factor of success for an NFL Franchise has been the HC/GM combos who have studied, mastered and implemented Bill Walsh's book together. The Panthers franchise appears to be no where near this championship strategy or philosophy. Butting heads over philosophy and mixed/inconsistent strategies have been the constant since Tepper took over.
