While perusing the internet for Panthers/NFC south info. (hey, it a long offseason, and im board. ) The majority of the fans and pundits look at our 7-8-1 record, as being somewhat indicitive of our future success.

Many assert that our lack of movement in FA and not drafting for need, that nothing should change that much from last years team performance wise.

I realize that its all just blind conjecture and peoples opinion. Thats not what's aggravating about it.

Very FEW ever mention our qb played most of the entire season with a gimpy ankle, cracked ribs and a broken vertebra.

How fun is it going to be when the narrative that many advance about the Panthers potential this season, is shattered and they are left trying to explain how Carolina walked away with their 3rd straight NFCS championship, and maybe more? Is it September yet?

Bad ass post, but i have to ask....did you use a thesaurus on this one? No idea what half those words meant.

Or i have had too many.

lol. My wife has said the same thing. She said the reason she can't ever win any arguments with me, is that I use too many big words. I said what, words like the, but, and or it? In retrospect my attempt at humor was a big mistake.

  I honestly use to think that spprts writers were just to lazy to actually do research. However, I am beginning to think that they just genuinely hate us. Which Is fine, it doesn't make me mad. 

   I just believe this because they seem to know absolutely NOTHING about the Panthers or their players. I don't think it's laziness, they have all the info in the world about other teams. They just seem disinterested. I'm not sure if it is because we are a small market team or what.

   They are blind to a healthy Cam, an almost complete roster switch up on defense last year that was a major factor in us getting it together, two 1,000 yard receivers (rookie and a TE), return of Ginn (Returner and field stretcher on O), sensational defense before adding a vet known for making turnovers, and a rookie that fit the scheme, difference when Stewie is our lead back, revamped STs squad that was well below average, and a Jimmy Graham-like versatile receiver (which moves Cotch to a more appropriate role where he could flourish), and Brown also in a role more suited for him.......I could really go on.....

Of course they hate us.  When we drafted Cam, they couldn't care less because they thought he would be a bust.  After doing freakish things on a GOAT trajectory, instead of accepting/embracing the inevitable, it's head in the sand time for the masses.  Denial-not just a river in Egypt.

Good post. I cannot think of another player in my time watching the NFL, that so many in the media, seem to actively root against. Is validating their pre draft critique of Cam so important, that many are willing to compromise their journalistic integrity to continue this false narrative?

If Cam is fully healthy this year and his revamped line can protect him, it's going to be hilarious hearing all the pundits say he has finally "matured" and "learned the game" when he is shredding defenses.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.

      Ocho Cinco loves one of our CBs

      Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.
