We have to figure out our future core team

Everyone on defense is expendable outside of Brown (which he may never recover), Woods and Horn. The young linebacker we have needs to be here. But the rest of the front seven can literally go. We shouldn't be running three down lineman. IT DOESN'T WORK. At least the offensive line is mostly fine. Thomas needs to sit on the side of the road and Sanders be #1 for experience. Mingo can go, Carter can stay, Miles Sanders SHOULD NEVER SEE THE FIELD.

This organization needs to plan for the future and those looking for a trade now to fix everything, it isn't happening. Usually trading for WR midseason never works out. But if we can get someone to take Sanders and absorb the contract, that should be the #1 goal. Chuba needs to absolutely stay as does Dionte.

Someone else said it best, this needs to be treated like an expansion team at this point. Everyone except Brown, the two guards and Brooks, Leggette and Trevin Wallace along with the kicking specialists and Jansen should be subject to being traded or cut.

This is what bad drafting will cause.  Long are the days where we had a legit core, which we even maintained during consistent mediocrity.  

Hunt OT, Lewis OG, Brown DL - known commodities worth staying a while longer.  That's about it right now.

The 2024 Rookies - continue to develop and see through.  They've seemed promising.

Of the rest, there are a few okay parts like (Horn, BC, Icky) but that list dries up quickly.

Yep. All of these people are yelling "trade, trade, trade". We have nothing of value to trade.

If draft picks are so valuable to building a franchise, why would a good GM give away draft picks to acquire talent from one of the worst 5 teams in the NFL?

We'd be lucky to get a 3rd round pick for the best player on our roster. Acquiring an extra 3rd (an most likely a lower pick) isn't going to make result in a big roster improvement. 

As you pointed out bad drafting has caused this. We have traded away a several 1st round picks (CMAC, DJ Moore, and Brian Burns). What do we have to show for it? Our record speaks for itself.

I would say the actual core is basically just Brown.

Potential core: Horn, Ikey

Older core: Moton

Players that make little sense to jettison: Hunt, Lewis, Ikey, rookies. 

Additional guys I would personally keep(price dependant) but not attached to: Woods, King of Pop, Dalton, BC, Corbett

Everyone else is pretty much just on borrowed time.

My goodness people!

 

We have no talent. The core is basically Brown/Horn. That's all we have to build around. Make it simple just start drafting better.

 

Y'all have been preaching rebuild ever since Tepper took over. When done traded all our stars. Just draft better that it point blank.

I'm hesitant to say Brown is a core piece right now. It all depends on how and if he recovers from his injury. If he's drastically reduced when he returns, trade him, if they can sucker some team into a decent return.

He is a core player whether we like it or not. He just inked that deal. Trading him is cap suicide until after 2025.

As long as Tepper continues to run the football decisions you get nothing.

That is my ultimate fear.

Signing Dionte to a deal would be such a waste of cap space and his time.  Nice player but hes too old to be in the long term plans and he will want to get paid. Use that money elsewhere, like defense. 

His comments recently make him seem very much like he does not want to be here.

      No, we don't need to see Bryce Young again

      By TN05 · Posted

      We've seen him in 18 games now. He has not magically learned to be better in 5 games on the bench. As a reminder, here's his stat line for the last nine full games he's started: 148/264 (56.1%), 1439 yards (160 yards per game), 2 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 32 sacks This is over NINE games. We lost these games by an average score of 10-24. In his career, Bryce Young has 11 touchdown passes. 5 of those came from two games (Detroit and Green Bay). Two of those Detroit ones were in garbage time. The problem with Bryce Young is not that his confidence is shaken or that he just needs time to learn. The problem is he is physically not capable of playing professional football in this league. Everyone on the team knows it.

      If we somehow magically learn to draft well [I know, don’t laugh], it will take at least 3 more drafts to produce a roster that can go 9-7 or 10-6 consistently.  Doing it in 2 would mean that we have miraculously ‘caught lightning in a bottle’, landing the future Luke, Cam, Smitty, Peppers in back to back drafts.  Those are some long odds.

      The Carolina Panthers should go back to Bryce Young

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      So, Bryce solves the problem of: Hubbard running for -2 to 1 yard on 2nd down and Miles Sanders getting lost on a 3rd & long screen play? Johnson dropping a short 1st down pass and refs allowing PI? Johnson giving up on his route against physical DBs and OL going down field on a pass play? Nijman giving up a sack in 2 seconds on 3rd and 4? Hubbard & M.Sanders failing on 2nd & short, 3rd & short, and 4th and short back to back to back? Hubbard with runs of -2 yards and 0 yards to set up 3rd & 12? Ekwonu on skates getting bull rushed into the QB on 3rd & 4 in 2 seconds? Those were how the 7 drives ended before Dalton led a TD drive anchored by a 30 yard pass with pressure in his face again. You think Bryce solves any of that? Then there's the issue of the RBs and TEs consistently struggling to win in the flats. That's 90% of Bryce's game. Will Bryce solve the defense giving up 30 points by half time? The Panthers offense only had 2 drives before Young came in the game late 4Q. Is no one else noticing the Panthers only get 1 complete drive in 3Q of games after trailing by 2 to 3 scores? The defense can't get off the field and Evero's high school blitzes can be seen pre-snap by anyone watching. Is Bryce going to fix that? QB is not the issue for this team. Dalton, Johnson, Thielen and Coker are the strength of the team followed by a hot (run) and cold (pass) OL. Adding an inconsistent QB in Bryce to inconsistent RBs, inconsistent TEs, and an inconsistent OL is going to do what? Does anyone trust Bryce to read the defense from the pocket after the snap? His receivers and Canales have made it known they don't. What Bryce had success on in HS and college doesn't work in this league. Brian Robinson Jr, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams aren't here to bail Bryce out with the huge windows coupled with slower and smaller defenders in college. They're winning with Detroit and Washington making other 1st round QBs look good. Alabama players from the 2022 and 2023 teams are winning with their teams. The media wanted you to believe Bryce, the tiny unicorn Heisman QB, made that Alabama team better when he was the one being carried with his limited game. The media doesn't want to be wrong on Bryce.
