guys do you realize how good he is? i mean it's luck that ra'shon harris just fell into our laps

seriously, he's a NT, he's from Oregon, and he was drafted by an AFC North team.

can we say the next Haloti Ngata? the similarities are pretty hard to ignore!

It seems there are so many threads dedicated to predicting what is going to happen this season: who the panthers will lose to and who they will beat. It seems to be the focus of all the news shows as well. I'm no football expert. I'm just a panthers fan. But is there really any point to all this? Besides entertainment value of course. Aren't there simply too many variables? It seems to me that there is far too much variance to make any sound predictions, especially since there are only 16 games in a season. To me, this is what makes sports fun to watch, but it also means that despite all the stats, handicapping, records etc there is just no way to have any idea what's going to happen in any given game or with even any given season.

We've had a horrible preseason in terms of our record, but we've already established that there is no quantifiable correlation between a preseason record and a regular season record. So, what can we predict after seeing the preseason? Nothing more than we could before it ever happened.

Don't get me wrong, there is some predicability, but the factors that we can identify that may help us to predict who is going to win a game and who isn't are usually far overshadowed by all the factors we can't account for.

It's all just speculation at best, which is good news for us right now-since obviously we don't want this trend to carry over into the regular season.

GO PANTHERS

This is too funny. No Offense but, don't come on this board spewing your mathematical equations, predicability and logic. It just doesn't mesh with a football message board.

PS....I'm all for it but, good luck.

      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.
