I'm not going to lie this kinda ticks me off but I shouldn't be surprised as the media loves to hate on the Panthers. I find the Cardinals at number 2 just comical, I would love to meet them again in the playoffs so our defense can feast on Palmer again.

I was expecting their reasoning to have us at 5 would have something to do with Norman leaving, but no, this is their great analysis:

The Panthers have a tough act to follow, after they won 15 games last season, but no team in NFL history has ever followed a 15-win season with anything less than a 10-win season.

I need to do a lot better job at not letting this stuff bother me, but it is frustrating. The media never learns.

Yeah, don't let it bother you.  A little bit of it is media bias, but it's mostly due to our secondary.  Can't really blame them for knocking us down a few slots, when we lost an all-pro corner, and are going to start rookies on the outside.  Mostly unproven secondary all around.

The Seahawks were forced to re-sign Tony McDaniel this week, who, like Browner, was good for them three years ago.  Repeat, three years ago.  Probably a sign that Reed and/or Hill aren't ready to be what they hoped at this point.  Losing Mebane and Irvin are huge. Alex Smith and Co. went through that D like a hot knife through butter.

It is ESPN.  These are the same hard hitting journos who stated last month Trai Turner was underrated because he didnt make the Pro Bowl last year.....not to mention they keep that blustery jizzwhistle Kevin Neghandi employed.

So consider the source, and just let it go, it is not worth getting upset about.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud.

      The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By countryboi · Posted

      I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
