NFL.com is putting on their Golden Child full-court press.

http://www.nfl.com/fantasyfootball/story/0ap3000000672327/article/20-shocking-fantasy-predictions-for-2016

Quote

It wouldn't shock me if ... Andrew Luck records 320-plus fantasy points: Luck was a disappointment last season, but he was on pace to score 299 fantasy points in limited time. He could be a very nice bargain, and he doesn't have to worry about a new long-term contract.

Oh, and that same article gives us this:

Quote

It wouldn't shock me if ... Cam Newton's fantasy points decline: I'm not talking about a small decline either, as I can envision a scenario where he goes from 389.08 points (2015) down to around the 320-330 point range this season. Superman will still be awesome, but maybe not as awesome.

End Around: Andrew Luck is the best bargain in sports

Top Comeback Player of the Year candidates for 2016

1) Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts

 

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000672229/article/how-will-andrew-luck-cam-newton-and-russell-wilson-rank-in-2021

Quote

How will Andrew Luck, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson rank in 2021?

Quote

 

Adam Schein: For me, Luck is the best quarterback. While Cam Newton and Russell Wilson are special players, Luck is an elite talent, and that makes him the clear No. 1.

Charlie Casserly: If we're talking about abilities as a pocket passer, I'll take luck.

 

Even when you get a guy that picks Cam, he makes it clear its distasteful to him to do it.

Quote

 

Greg Rosenthal: Hard to pick just one, but pressed, I'll go with Cam. This pains me to answer.

 

I'm sure it does, Greg.  I'm sure it does.

And then, outside the area of The Golden Child, they're warming up their "why Carolina is going to fail" memes.

Quote

 

The Panthers will miss the playoffs

The one thing Carolina has going for them? A near-perfect season did not dismantle their coaching staff like some of the most recent en vogue teams in the NFL who have reached the big game. Both coordinators are still intact and nearly all of the core players who propelled Carolina to a 15-1 record last year are still in place.

But these are irresponsible July predictions, and I intend on being more irresponsible than the rest of my colleagues. Carolina succeeded last year thanks in part to some perfectly hand-selected veteran role players who helped keep the team looking forward. Some of those players are gone or still have not been re-signed. The running game that greased Carolina's offensive success is a year older, with lead back Jonathan Stewart pushing 30, and the secondary could be starting rookies at two of three cornerback positions after losing Josh Norman to the Redskins. -- Conor Orr

 

Oh, look!  It's our good friend Conor Orr!

Why do people act like we just got good or something? We've been to the fuggin playoffs 3 straight years, have won 3 straight NFC South titles, have a 34-13-1 record last 3 years, and have been to the superbowl. Where is this sh*t coming from?

unexpected 12-4 with a first-game exit, 7-8-1 playoff appearance and win over terrible cardinals team, 15-1 and legit season. obvious choice for regression. gotta expect this kind of talk until we string multiple winning seasons and playoff appearances together. media also loves brees and ryan so that makes us a popular pick to stumble and miss the playoffs.

      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.
