Former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs believes Panthers have a shot at 16-0

"They will have a chance for this reason: they are not winning it by skill plays or getting lucky on stuff," the Hall of Fame NFL coach and current Sprint Cup team owner said on Thursday during a NASCAR media event in Las Vegas.

"They are pounding people. Sometimes, when they don’t play as well, they beat you up. They have a good defense. Defense always leads you. They’ve got a quarterback making all kinds of plays. I think they are going to be hard to beat."

Here and there you hear media types talking about the Panthers, and the ones that have watched all the games, they know, you can hear it in their voice. They know this is  just one of those teams that has it. Even over the Seattle team from 2 years ago. Maybe over the '09 Saints. Nah, that was a done deal... Oh yeah, they know this team is special and is winning Superbowl 50.

This was a fun read for me given that the only other football team I've ever been remotely this crazy about was the Redskins under Gibbs from 87 - 92.  Gibbs was such an awesome head coach and had my deep respect.  I appreciate his words about this year's Panthers.  It means a lot coming from him.  I appreciate too his honesty, not pretending that he's now a Panthers' fan, but still obviously deeply respecting them as an organization and a team.

He said a nice thing about my Panthers, Thanks.

You'll always be just another Foreskin to me.

Learn to separate things, bro. When a HOF coach says he believes a team is going undefeated, it has some merit worth appreciating. 

ffs.

certain people in sports, unique to us all, strike us in such a way that you just don't care for them or what they have to say.  (Tom Brady, Roger Godell, Bud Selig, Chris Burman) My use of "hate" is hyperbole and sports related at most.  Still doesn't change my opinion.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
