Partial Summary of "Expert" Opinions on Panthers


Semaj

Recommended Posts

I don't have time to go more than the 20 minutes I have already invested doing the research.   I have thought about starting a thread documenting all the "love" the media and "Experts" have for our Panthers for awhile.  What I will say is that Coach Rivera has a Poo Load of articles that will work for excellent bulletin board material.

 

1.  ESPN ranks Panthers Offensive Line worst in the NFL.

2.  Derek Anderson Ranks 27th in Back up QB's, even behind Jimmy Clausen and a bunch of rookies who have never played in the league.

3.  BR ranks the Panthers offense #30.

4.  ESPN insider says the Panthers are the most likely to go from 1st to worst.

5.  Boomer Esiason says that Cam is the most over rated player in the whole NFL.

6.  Walter Football predicts that the Panthers will be 5-11, a reduction in 7 wins from the previous season!!!

7.  BR ranks the Panthers receivers 32nd .

8.  Ron Rivera the 2013 coach of the year is ranked as the 21st best coach by NFL.com

9.  PFF also says that the Panthers have the worst receivers in the league.

 

Please feel free to add more of the "Expert Love".  I sure wish I could be payed for my Expert opinion.  I seriously can not recall a more negative outlook for a team coming off of a pretty darn good season, and a 12-4 record the previous year.  I don't believe all this non-sense is right.  I believe that we are going to have another good season.  Go Panthers!

They were far off last season too. The fact is these 'analysts' are making rather above average potholes into 'holy poo, there goes your house and street' sinkholes. Yes, our offensive line sucks and our secondary features no Pro Bowlers but our front seven is still in tact and we've still got Cam, Tolbert, Olsen and now Benjamin.

Well, all teams have the "but we still have..." players.

Cam is amazing, but didn't keep us from being a bottom offensive team last year. Olsen is great, but shouldn't be the top receiver on any team in the league. Tolbert? Ground and pound, but what separates him from someone like Marcel Reece, who fails to keep the Raiders from being arguably the worst offensive squad year in and year out. Benjamin? Rookie receiver who has had one catch in one preseason game so far. I have high hopes and beliefs too, but let's not crown him an offensive juggernaut just yet.

OR...all of us will be extremely excited when these accusations prove false and we repeat the year we had last year.

Sad when a team has to look perfect for some folks to feel comfortable. Oh well.

I'm a fan of a team that has never had two winning seasons in a row... Ever. I think I deserve to be skeptical. This isn't a team headed up by Belichick and Brady.

Not that I wholly agree with all of those statements, but the Panther fanbase, specifically the Huddle community, has about a 90% chance of being severely disappointed by this team if y'all seriously think these rankings are that far off...

I like the candor.  I even get why the media would be down on the team but I dont see the team going 5-11 and I dont see the offense being ranked 31 in the NFL.  This team will be competitive and ultimately there will be a handful of plays that will make or break the season.

I agree, but I'm not convinced we're about to repeat the playoffs like everyone else seems to think.

The reporters are just trying to predict why we're going to suck... as history tells, we suck the year following a winning season. They are just trying to determine why we're going to suck this year, since it is already a given that we're going to suck.

 

 

The Panthers have to finally shake their curse.. they have to get the monkey off their back and make this the year they finally have b2b winning seasons. We do that...and the media love will pour in next off-season. Can't really blame them for aiming as low as possible when it comes to predictions. It's upto the Panthers to change that perception.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
