In light of all the negative crap this week, hopefully here are some positive nuggets going into week 3.

 

According to fivethirtyeight.com, an ESPN affiliate, Carolina has the 5th best ranking for all teams through week 3.

Carolina is simulated to win 10.7 games (3rd best)

67% Chance to win the Division (Best in NFL)

77% to make the playoffs (2nd Best)

9% change to win the Super Bowl (3rd Best)

I hope that this trend continues through the course of the year then we will be in good shape. #KEEPPOUNDING

ELO is a really comprehensive guide for rankings. It's similar to the system that's used in competitive chess, and it's what all of the major competitive video games use to calculate ladder rankings. 

 

It measure strength of opponent by using things like, winning against a higher ranked opponent gives you more points, losing against a lower ranking team gives you negative points, for example. It's really hard to use on a team-based game, though, because the system really is (usually) to determine individual rankings.

Thanks Ruff. It was late and I couldn't find how to explain it

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
