Chance that Hayden Starts in Week 1?

With all the talk about the Panthers trading for a DT or picking up one off of waivers, what are the chances that not much happens and Hayden starts in week 1?

As much as I think we will pick up a guy at the last minute I don't think that player will be up to speed enough to start against philly. With that said I think we are looking at about a 65% chance that Hayden gets the nod. I think a trade for a starter is around 20%, picking up a player after cuts that ends up starting a few days later is about 9%, and Marlon Favorite is about 5%.

I know that equals 99% but I figure that there is a 1% chance that the Kemo injury was a just a dream and he starts every game this season!

Didn't Favorite start and have more playing time than Hayden last week or am I imagining that?

He did and he played much better than Hayden as well. Not only do I seriously doubt that Hayden starts (barring further injuries) but it's possible that he doesn't even make the team.

If he makes the team, I predict he starts. But that only means that he takes the first defensive snap. Fox always puts his veterans in. I predict he starts, but I predict favorite or [Player to be Named Later] gets the majority of the playing time and Hayden is supplanted by week 2.

I think Hayden started or at least came in right after the first snap. I remember one of those long runs early in the game and seeing number 98 falling all over himself.

    • Also says a successful record for the Panthers would be 8-9 at minimum. Anything less let's us know something isn't clicking. Anything over 8 wins is over achieving 
    • Top 5 areas who hold most pressure according to AI:    Bryce Young (QB): As the 2023 No. 1 pick, Young’s under fire to boost his 2024 stats (11 TDs, 10 INTs) despite thin WR talent, or he’ll be labeled a bust faster than a comet crashing into a black hole. His growth is critical, like Burrow’s 2020-21 Bengals leap to the Super Bowl or Carolina’s 2001-03 rise from 1-15 to Super Bowl with Delhomme’s emergence—step up, or you’re just a pint-sized promise lost in the cosmos, oh cosmic quarterback. Dave Canales (Head Coach): Canales must scheme around limited WRs and a porous defense to lift the 5-12 Panthers, or Tepper’s impatience will send him packing like a wayward space probe. His play-calling needs to mirror the Lions’ 2020-22 rebuild under Campbell (3-13 to 12-5) or Carolina’s 2010-13 climb from 2-14 to 12-4—fail, and he’s back to assistant stardust, you playbook prophet. Dan Morgan (GM): Morgan’s tasked with upgrading the WR corps and defense after years of roster gaps, or he’ll be jettisoned like a malfunctioning satellite. Smart acquisitions, like the Bills’ 2018-19 additions for Allen’s playoff push or Carolina’s 2012-15 surge to 15-1, are his lifeline—miss, and he’s a galactic footnote, you roster wrangler. Defense: Allowing an NFL-worst 534 points in 2024, this unit must stop being a galactic sieve or remain the league’s punchline. Turnarounds like the 49ers’ 2018-19 defensive revival to Super Bowl contention or Carolina’s 2012-13 shift to 12-4 show it’s doable—stay leaky, and you’re the universe’s doormat, you generous tacklers. Wide Receivers: With no top-tier talent in 2024, this group—likely led by new faces like Tetairoa McMillan—must step up to give Young viable targets, or they’ll doom the offense like a starless void. Elevating like the Rams’ 2021 WR corps with Kupp for Stafford’s Super Bowl run, or Carolina’s 2002-03 receivers enabling an 11-5 Super Bowl push, is their mission—flop, and you’re catching nothing but shade, you route-running rogues.
