BR Post Draft Power Rankings


Recommended Posts

While I don't think we're headed to another 12 win season by any means, this guy knows very little about our team needs. Unfortunately many sports writers know next to nothing about small market teams until they read a brief team summary before they write an article. He knew who we drafted, read that we went 12-4 last season, and then pulled out of nowhere that we reached throughout the draft. I actually expected him to do just that. He doesn't have to get the facts correct to keep his job. We all know he's wrong, and he doesn't give a poo.

Don't mean to rain on you, but literally anyone can write a BR article.  All you need to do is sign up (it's free).  99% of the articles on there are not written by professional writers.  In fact most of it is written by people with less knowledge than most of us here.

 

22 is hilariously bad though.  I understand not predicting us to go 12-4 again but there is no reason to believe we can't at LEAST crack .500.  We have too talented a roster.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but not just anyone can write a B/R article. You have to apply to write and less than 15% of applicants are accepted. 

 

The only thing that's as annoying as crappy B/R writers are the ignorant B/R haters. Next time get your facts straight before you post or you're just as bad as the writer of that article.

When did that happen?  it always advertised if you want to write just sign up. granted I don't frequent there often.

Why do you fuging kids goto Bleacher Report? If you stop going they'll go away and we'll all be better off.

From what Kraken told me on Twitter he's going to play DE/QB which will lead to some kick ass modified wildcat plays.

Sadly, B/R is filled with Skip Baylesses that just have crap opinions that piss people off and get attention. The best writers on B/R get lost in the fold because their articles don't produce as many comments and attention as the crappy writers. 

 

That's why I advise people to follow any good writers on B/R and exclusively read their material. Otherwise, you're going to be fed a load of poo every time you click on some hyped up, front-page article.

This was in the author's about section: "I'm a husband, father of three and full time Bleacher Report writer."

We're going to get to see how good Cam really is this year.

We have a great defense, everyone know's that.

But I still maintain that we have one of those Patriot offenses that if it wasn't commanded by Brady it would be sh*t.

I want to see Cam take his game to elite status.

 

Did you see what Kassel did in Brady's absence? Or what Flynn did in Rodger's absence? 

 

OC's and system play a very large role in offense numbers and qb ratings.

i was getting ready to write that bleacher report has gotten better in the last couple years since teaming up with i foget who at the moment and that they've actually started hiring some decent wrriters, but then i actually read the OP and decided it this wasn't the best moment to say that because it was avtually the same type of poo article by the same type of joke wannabe writer that made BR the poo site it got the reputation for being.

 

knocking our draft because we reached for need? did they even look to see what we did? i've been a bit critical of this draft (which i've just decided to accept and move on) but reaching for need is definitely not one of thise criticisms. benjamin and turner were drafted exactly where they should have been and ealy was drafted about a round later than he should have been. the last four picks....reaching? nobody knows where thise guys should have been picked, because its all a much bigger crapshoot than the first couple rounds are. we got safety and CB help, but i don't see either guy as having been reaches and they didn't exactly fill out our roster as much as added to the competition. and the stanford RB probably would have been drafted.  good bit earlier in another era where RBs weren't so devalue.

 

the only place where we need the roster filled out and where we probably would have benefitted from "reaching" is OT and we absolutely did not do that. 

 

so yeah.....pretty much the same BR article we grew to hate/laugh at.

I still remember Billick having the Panthers at 28th in his preseason power rankings last year and Peter King predicting a 6-10 record (which would have been good for the worst record in the NFC).

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
