Of corse I can, the only team with a losing record in there. The only team in there that has massive cap issues. The team that didn't belong there last year...the Panthers. And we probably won't belong there this year either, nothing's changed.

That said, I think this is the last year we will suck. 2016, our stars will settle in with new contacts and we will be out of cap hell. Not to mention Gettles' draft picks will begin to bloom. Light at the end of the tunnel JR and Hurney put us in, in 2010...finally.

I understand why we are on the list after all we barely made the playoffs last season. The Falcons arguably will get better and the saints could with all of their draft picks they acquired. Even the Bucs have a solid chance of improving thier team.

All we have signed is special team players or players cut from other teams. Personally I believe we will make the playoffs but I'm a homer.

I disagree.  The team belonged there last year.  They won convincingly against the cards and gave a decent battle on the road in Seattle.

 

They have these articles every year.  Not surprised.  But this year's team is going to dash that scorecard.

Except, we won the division the past two years and didn't lose arguably our best player from last year (Saints/Graham), get a new coaching staff (Falcons) or will not be starting a rookie QB (Bucs).

This is seriously a re-hash of last year's criticism. Only with us having a great 2014 draft and the other teams in our division not getting any better (or like NOLA, significantly worse).

 

Tampa will likely be much improved if they draft JW, but he'll still be a rookie and rookie's rarely lead teams to the playoff promised land.

I think the media has picked the Saints and Falcons to finish ahead of us every year for about a decade straight.  It's certainly nothing new.  It's as if the media thinks every other NFCS team has the ability to improve while the Panthers are bound to be worse than they were the previous season.  It's weird.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
