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 Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
