Your 5 Boldest Predictions for the 2014 Season


Icege

Recommended Posts

Has the season started yet? Have we even played are 1st game yet? So how do you know all this?Paper don't matter when it comes to football last time I checked you actually have to play the games 1st.What's the next Powerball #s in TX gonna be? Since you no so much & all.

That goes both ways bud. How can all of these people say we're about to finish 13-3 and then spew this "logic" when someone says we'll be 8-8 or worse?

1. KB13 catches a game winning TD.

2. Gano hits a 60+ yd FG.

3. Underwood becomes reliable deep threat for Cam.

4. Brandon Williams ends the season as 2nd TE.

5. Thomas Decoud becomes a Pro Bowler or plays well enough to get snubbed.

1.   Benjamin another FSU bust, Avant will lead the WR's.

2.   Stewart on IR by week six.

3.   Cam gets his belly full of Shula's playcalling at some point and airs his frustration.

4.   Godfrey makes us forget about Captain Toast in short order.

5.   Bell a sieve at T, but Chandler turns into a beast.

1.Our offensive line is surprisingly adequate with solid contribution from Turner, Kugbila. Chandler becomes an adequate LT.      Strong in the running game.

2. Josh Norman and Melvin White become the starting duo by week 7.

3. We once again have a surprisingly solid secondary.

4. Cam throws for 30 TDs

5. Stewart runs for 1,000 yds.

1) Proving something to himself and family after his mother's death … DLo has an unexpected breakout season in honor of her.

2) Cam progresses heavily as a pocket passer.

3) KB will not be as advertised.

4) Keek becomes the bonafide #1 LB in the game (IMO he already is, but most outside of Carolina won't agree).

5) Roman Harper finds his old Pro Bowl form again behind our front 7.

How could you have all that offensive success and then fire the OC?

 

That's exactly how little faith I have in Shula. We could have a top 5 run game, but if our passing attack is in the bottom 16, I could see and would hope that Shula gets fired. Cam showed us in 2011 and 2012 that he can be an effective down the field passer. We need playcalling that can get us back to 4,000 yards per year passing, not 3.300. As efficient as Cam was last year, those were Dalton numbers, when we know Cam is capable and should be posting yardage totals closer to Stafford's.

1 posltive versus 5 negative.

Pretty impressive considering the OP only asked for 5 predictions.

Lol

Should have just omitted the chandler part.

1. Kelvin Benjamin almost hits 1,000 yards and 10+ TDs, earning RoTY honors.

2. A RB not named Williams, Tolbert, or Stewart will be our most productive RB

3. The OL will be noticeably better than last year, much to everybody's confusion

4. Cam will be responsible for a 90+ yard scoring play

5. NFC Championship game appearance

Unless we have a league worst D....a top 5 rush attack will almost certainly give is a bottom half pass attack under any QB who runs a running O.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
