@PFF: With a pair of second year Defensive Tackles to get excited about, what can you expect from the #Panthers in '14 https://t.co/gD9z68ACLJ

5 Reasons to be confident

4. Melvin White

An undrafted free agent a year ago, Melvin White took over one of the starting cornerback jobs midseason and heads into 2014 looking to improve in his second year. Although preseason doesn’t count, it certainly matters, and White has shown improvement from last year. White finished the preseason fifth among all cornerbacks with a +5.0 grade and with many question marks in the Panthers’ secondary, White is near the bottom of the list and thus far serves as a success story for impact undrafted free agents.

They have 5 reasons to be confident and 5 reasons to be concerned. I'm on my phone so I just took one of the reasons to be confident and put it in the OP.

Up until recently I was pessimistic on the season, then I thought more about it. In 2011 we had a rookie QB, rookie HC, lockout year with no OTAs and literally the worst Ds in the league and we still won 6 games, with our D now being top 2 and our QB and HC with a ton more experience, its hard to see us losing less than 9 games.

Short was ranked 9th in pass rushing for DT. Good stat to have. Considering he was a rookie that's great.

Chandler had a horrible rating as a right guard (-11) but did have a decent rating as a right tackle (+2) which is something to look forward to. Chandler did have a - 3 rating this preseason but he was injured and it's hard to judge the preseason.

I think White will continue to improve and be the future at CB. If Norman can get it together we will have a good young trio of corners with White, Bene and Norman.

Winning less than 9 games?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
