Players out of the loop for months (check)

New scheme/ New staff (check)

Void of vet presence at key positions (check)

Chance to loss major contributors (check)

1 week FA period before camp (check)

Rushed Training Camp (check)

Lack of OTA's to get system in place (check)

These upcoming preseason games are going to be garbage.

Honestly we won't see anything of substance from our guys till week 8.

Granted many other teams are in the same boat.

AND we do have talent for success in the future.

Honestly it's a danger to the players.

I think they should cancel at least the first week of preseason.

Luckily and Sadly it will be scrubs out there for the first couple games, while the starters get practice reps.

BUT! this is the start of a new era for us.

i know but at least this year we'll watch a team starting anew with young players that will become key contributors eventually instead of watching a team regressing with old players way past their prime that should retire like we saw in 2006, 2007 and 2009, or watching john fox's 1000 yard stare on the sidelines like we've seen more and more ever since the seattle nfcc game.

as long as i know we're rebuilding, i'm okay with some growing pains

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
