ESPN's Power Rankings has Panthers falling more than anyone.


top dawg

Recommended Posts

David Newton is reporting about the newest ESPN power ranking, and the panthers have taken quite a tumble.  Now, to be honest, I feel about power rankings the same way I feel about all this stuff (mocks, draft grades, etc.), but the truth will all come out in the wash.

 

The Carolina Panthers lost their starting left tackle to retirement, their top four wide receivers as a result of being cut or signed by other teams in free agency, three-fourths of their secondary in free agency and their franchise quarterback for four months to recover from ankle surgery. 

So it is no surprise that the reigning NFC South champions lost a lot of spots inESPN.com's post-draft Power Rankings

They lost more spots than any other team in the league. Eight to be exact, all the way to No. 11

 

 

it looks like they're knocking us for our receiving corps (surprise, surprise)! But, I'm with Newton, because I believe the receiving corps will actually be better than advertised.  At least we have a couple of sure-handed possession receivers that can at least catch the ball. And, our ability to get the ball in the end zone should increase exponentially in the red zone.  If one of the other younger WRs takes flight, then that's going to catch a lot of people by surprise.

 

It's all about the Benjamins, right?  Not really, It's all about the defense.  But Benjamin's time is gonna come.

I don't even know how to respond to that. I guess you proved a point, somehow?

Would you say that about really bad GMs like Matt Millen?

Point is, you are making an appeal to authority. That is a logical fallacy.

    • Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce. 
    • Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips. 
    • I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
