Were #5 in ESPN's current preseason power rankings

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.

    • Yooooooooo... WTF is this hairline bro??? It's OVER! Shave it off my man!
    • He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny. 
    • I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
