young teams always can use a dose of reality..hopefully this is just a learning experience and not a sign of things to come. I know we are use to last year Fox and thinking what you see is what you get..but he wasn't trying to make anybody better and he never was really good at doing that anyway. I would like to think the new coaching staff knows this team is going to have to be taught night day to become the team they want them to be.

Yea I guess. Just after spending 8 years hoping with Fox, I am ready for something besides hope.

A Superbowl, NFC Championship, NFC Championship game, and hosting the NFC Divisional Championship has been tough to stomach. :rolleyes:

Those were eight years ago. That one play off game in the last couple years, was pretty pittiful and hopeless. Yea I remember that SB game. That was fun. Just a long, long time ago. The last eight years have been tough to stomach for sure. Hope is just hope.

Fwiw, I don't expect to win the Superbowl this year, or even go 8-8. I would just like to see some solid improvement. And so far, I have seen it. Two offensive td's vs none in preseason last year. I thought we might get 6 wins this year, and I haven't seen anything to change that opinion. We were the worst team in football last year, and turning it around usually take 2-3 years.

People here forget that the players on both sides of the ball are learning a completely new scheme. The Panthers will be just fine. Oline not opening any holes is my biggest concern.

I hear that lame excuse way too much.

Mopucker Pa leeze. It's just fkn football. It aint rocket science.

You are soooo right.

Time to quit with the excuses and play some football.

      Panthers sign a... basketball player

      Just admit that you don’t follow all the draft discussions on here. If draft results were so random, how come some teams tend to be perennial losers like us and some teams are perennial winners and it all starts with the draft? It’s almost comical these type of stupid responses. Oh, why aren’t you the GM? Gee I wonder since I work in a completely different field. How about you give us some examples of where the huddle consensus drafting was worse than our drafting from 2018 to 2025? I know I’ve given a ton of examples and you just shoot this generic poo of oh you couldn’t possibly done better as an armchair GM. Why don’t you dispute any of my examples? Let’s go to Brooks. I wanted Frazier at C because I still feel like that’s a hole. Other Huddlers mentioned DeJean at CB. Here’s why many of us didn’t want Brooks because 1) he might not play due to tearing his ACL late in the college season, 2) any scout/GM worth their salt would know that the 2025 RB draft class was loaded and 3) trading up multiple picks knowing 1 and 2 seems silly. Heck, after the draft, pretty clear that day 3 was where the RB value was. The huddle was right on Brooks and at most, we’ll get 2 years of Brooks while Hubbard is still under contract. If you know so much about the underlying machinations of the draft, you should be able to dispute the actual examples and how the huddle’s picks were just plain lucky and how Dan, Scott and Marty’s picks were just unlucky. Pulling the why aren’t you an NFL GM is a much repeated response when an actual reasoned response isn’t possible. Our drafting hasn’t been unlucky the past 7 drafts, it’s just been bad with lost of idiotic moves that were far worse than the huddle consensus.

      100%!! Last year we focused completely on offense, and it made leaps, especially when Bryce settled in for the 2nd half of the season. We kept all those players and improved our RB stable this free agency! This year we focused almost entirely on D, specifically our run D. I expect it to jump to at least average, which would be awesome considering they are starting at dead frikin last. Our draft class from last year, however, doesn't exactly make me tingle. I know, I know..."traded away our first round pick, give them time to develop", but still. The 1 gem was Coker, a UDFA who I really like, but he ain't exactly Randy Moss. We have to do better! We can't afford to only build via Free agency.
