Respect for the Panthers? No thanks, I'm happy to watch from under the radar.

That's it, see them as the lovable loser! No thanks. If you want to be elite, you have to prepare for being looked at as elite. If we had dominated anyone in the Preseason, we may be favored for the Iggles game. We did not, thus we're not favored.

Sounds like you might be undecided. I know who I'm taking.

If I never hear "under the radar" and the Panthers in the same sentence again, I will be a happy camper. I just can't understand why some fans perfer this.

I'm pretty sure the players and maybe the organization as a whole prefer being a no spotlight, nobody thinks we can team..maybe it motivates them into making tackles.

    • Also comparing the first 12 picks to the  rest of the draft is a silly comparison, 12 chances vs 245 chances to hit on a player. 
    • The NFL is about parity.  There are few teams in the upper tier and a few bottom dwelling teams every season, every other team is in the middle. This version of the Panthers can be a fringe playoff team if, BIG IF, things goes their way.  First off health.  This goes for every team. It takes a special club to overcome a rash of injuries and still get into the playoffs.  Secondly, timing.  The Panthers have to catch a good team on a short week, with key injuries or some disruption to their team dynamic--like a dome team in the rain, for example.  Lastly, luck.  In order for the Panthers to get over the hump, things have to go their way in 2-3 games.  Things like a controversial call in our favor,  a DC going into prevent defense most of the 4th quarter, a fortunate (for us) turnover by the opposition while trying to seal a win etc...  This will be the difference in a 6 win Panthers team and 9 win squad this season.  I can't see us lower than 6 wins (short of the wheels completely falling off) because they roster has been getting better or higher than 9 wins simply due to Bryce's ceiling.  
    • I'm not questioning who was better or worse. I'm saying Moore was handed the keys and was trash. Clausen wasn't a Fox pick and Fox didn't want to play him but Moore sucked in Weeks 1-2 and Fox had to turn to Clausen for a while. Doesn't mean Moore wasn't given the starting job; he absolutely was and he absolutely got the most reps throughout camp.
