Are the Panther's an Offensive team now?

Now with Meeks, we will get full use of the defense. Which mean the offense should get the ball more, more scoring.

As good as the defense is, Do you think the team has taken a turn to be a more dominate offensive team? I know last year that's what we became. Will we stay that way?

what is that based off of?

I think the offense just has the talent to be more effective in the running game than prior Fox teams. I still think we basically have and will have the same philosophy while Fox is here.....

With all due respect Jangler...as good as the defense IS???

It isn't...yet, not in my eyes. Of course neither is the offense. It's 2009. What was in 2008 (ishtastic very disappointing D, good O) is no longer valid now.

^^^^

Yup

Right now our defense is only good enough to keep teams to about 300 yards and 25 points a game.

I dont consider that even CLOSE to good.

Matter of fact, thats terrible...

IMO, we don't have an explosive O, and we have a middle of the pack D.

We do have a very good running game, but need someone to step up on the other side of Smith to reach the next level.

That's the thing, though: our backs have as much big play ability as the best receivers in the league. Any given play, there's a chance Williams and Stewart will run for huge gains.

It may not be as flashy and pass-heavy as the Saints or the Cardinals, for instance, but I'd say our offense is definitely explosive.

So does that mean that you don't think Meeks will make the defense any better? You believe in the good year/bad year trend?

And I think Jarrett is going to have his break out year this year.

last year we didn't do anything different though as far as the offensive mindset....we just had a great OL and great RBs and ran over people. Hopefully, we do it again this year.

but I still don't see how the addition of Meeks means we NOW get the most out of the defense....I guess that just makes be a blind Fox hater.

So no upgrade over turdo?

I think the biggest strength of our defense is now OTHER TEAM will have to throw away all their "cheat cards" against us and re-learn what Meeks does here in Carolina.

But to say "as good as our D is now" in only the 3rd day of camp is silly.

Lets at least see a couple pre-season games.

At least we will have a reason to be more interested in all the pre-season games....

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
