pretty sure i saw where they had us at #1 right after the SB.  i wonder what the reasoning is to drop the panthers.  

getting more clicks on their site.  Seems to have worked.  :)

 

Although Norman leaving does impact it a little I guess.  He did make a lot of big plays for us early in the season last year when the offense was struggling.

Not sure about the general media hate. It's just ESPN. What else are they going to use to get clicks right now? 

The ranking is based off the votes of 80 ESPN writers/analysts. I highly doubt there is a 80 person conspiracy to get clicks by putting the Panthers at #5.

Not saying there is a conspiracy. Just saying there might not be much logic behind the choices. Just making a ranking to create some content during a slow period. Even if good thought did go into the rankings, not a big deal.

All the good writers/analysts left ESPN...

    • While I agree with you in spirit my gut and my heart says I'm not falling for this again until I see consistent results across the entire upcoming season. Then I'll breathe a sigh of relief and truly feel better about the future.
    • After some time to process and also in light of other small markets being successful and not requiring top overall picks to compete. This years finals looming large. While I readily acknowledge the league office clearly despises our franchise and has absolutely no qualms about us getting the short end of any stick in the draft lottery. The Hornets may just be doomed regardless due to their own mismanagement and inability to draft and develop legitimate playoff worthy talent. And we seemingly always pick the wrong player in the draft. I mean at this point we can even take a hard look at the 2020 draft and someone like Haliburton going pick 12 while Ball went 3rd. Did we draft the wrong guy or are we just that inept at any level of talent development or is it a mixture of both? Looks the latter right now.
    • I feel we are already moving in a better direction before we even take a snap this season.  We have hope now.  People are talking about us brewing something special. Remember how dismal things were when Rhule was here?
