On Paper...

ON Offense, The Panthers have Ted Ginn as their #1 WR, 33-year old Jerricho Cotchery, Undrafted Philly Brown, and developing rookie-- but not much more than a slant route for now-- WR in Devin Funchess at WR.  The Broncos have a very strong secondary. 

The Panthers have an offensive line that is very young (22, 23) at Guard, a finesse center, and tackles that were found in the NFL's garbage bin.  The Broncos have a fast, athletic DL and equally athletic LBs.  Can Remmers really stop Miller?  Can Blind Side, a bust a year ago, see and stop Ware?  Denver has to have a huge advantage vs. this offense...

...On Paper.

On Defense, the Panther's secondary should have caused an early exit.  The starting FS was a backup journeyman, the SS is a slow, gray--haired, one dimensional, in-the-box veteran.  Two of the starting CBs (#2 and nickel) were mid-season couch potatoes until an injury sent Gettlemen to his emergency Rolodex.  The Panthers do have 2 all-pro linebackers, but one is playing with a freshly-broken arm.  On the DL, once mighty Charles Johnson has fallen and can't seem to get up, although he is showing signs of returning to form of late.

Denver has stud TEs, fast and effective WRs, and perhaps the greatest QB of all time.  They should have  a field day against the Panthers...

...On Paper.

As hard as the reporters try, there are some things that just don't add up.  The Panthers are one of them.  The sense of family, the fact that Cam and Luke make everyone around them better, and the fact that this team and coaching staff have on-field-in-locker-room-off-field chemistry is no small matter.  The fact that the coaching staff has been together for a while is significant.  The Panthers have glaring weaknesses on paper, but a team that nobody can figure out.  That is why they will win this game by double digits...

...On the field.

Today is our day.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
