Panthers: 5% chance of winning SB

Yahoo Finance (why this was posted in the Business Insider I do not know) has the Panthers listed as having a 5% change of winning the Super Bowl.  Note the Falcons were given a 4% change.

 

What's interesting is they go on to say the Falcon have a 50% chance to win the NFCS over the other 3 teams.  Guess they like the Panthers in the post season over the Falcons.  I can live without the NFCS title if it means hoisting the Lombardi over our heads in the end.

Being 3-0 is great but truth is ... we haven't played anybody yet.  Sure, every week is tough in the NFL but our schedule thus far has been pretty low on the 'toughness scale'.  Our record at the mid-point (4 weeks after the bye) will be a better indication.

we also haven't been really healthy this year. We haven't had our full starting defense play a single game, and might not til Thanksgiving.

yes, the Panthers have had a weak schedule so far, but we're an inured bunch, so we've won despite being injury-riddled.

once this team gets healthy, any team would be worried about playing us. The Panthers just have to keep beating the teams that we are supposed to beat and we'll be fine.

The Falcons schedule is significantly easier the rest of the way than the Panthers schedule so it makes sense they are favored to win the division, but they think we are a better team so we have a better chance to win the Super Bowl.

Remember, for every three teams that make the playoffs, five don't. Additionally, one out of every thirty two teams is garaunteed a super bowl victory once per season. It's the rules.

Yes... and? I feel like you were setting up to make a point and then

    • Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.
    • Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.
    • And the Rams, Seattle, Patriots, Green Bay, Jaguars and the Bills who all made the playoffs and in case you forgot, Seattle and the Patriots played in the SB. By any measure, that's pretty brutal.
