Twenty talking heads were asked to predict the NFC Championship with not much love for the Defending NFC Champs.

Only 3 out of 7 Picked Carolina to be in the Super Bowl.   Rank, Brandt and Bellichek.  Brandt came to Training camp so he has a least some first hand knowledge.

Packers (12) and Cardinals (11) were picked to be in over half of the games and both winning 6 six times.

Seahawks were picked to be in 8 and half predicted they would return to the Super Bowl in 2017.

Cowboys were picked to make it and Beat Carolina.

Vikings were picked in one game but to lose.

I guess the bright side of it we were in roughly a 1/3 of the games. (7 of 20)

At the end of the day if the Panthers can take care of business when they need to we will be alright. The key is defending our home turf, beating the class in our conference, and taking care of the division. If we can do this and go at least 13-3 or 12-4 we will be alright. The key is to make back to the playoffs.

Typical writing.  I am certain if we lose a few games this year.  They'll be Carolina was lucky last year...had weak schedule.... one hit wonder....blah, blah, blah.

I don't care what any of them say.  Carolina is the most complete team in the league.   No team is perfect and we could use a little depth here and there but as far as a starting line up goes.  I think head to head we have the most complete team.

We'll be in the playoff and WE ARE GOING TO BREAK THAT SB CURSE and make it back to the Super Bowl and this time we are going to win it.

This.

10-11 wins should get us into the playoffs, and 12-13 should get us home field advantage.

      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.
