2 seasons.

The Saints have a Super Bowl Championship, Super Bowl MVP, and two fewer wins than the Panthers over the last 5 seasons.

The Panthers have 3 back to back division championships and the league MVP. The Saints were only 1 game behind the Panthers in 2013 and 2014.

Both teams are currently 0-1 while losing their games badly by 1 point after taking the lead into the 4th quarter.

The Saints beat Peyton Manning in the SB. The Panthers lost to Peyton Manning in the SB. I would wait on that SB or at least wait until their next era is 5 years deep without a SB victory before you blow it all on one good season.

 

Their Super Bowl win does not count due to bountygate. I officially declare it vacated and they can never be referred to as Super Bowl champions until they win fair and square.

And yet they still sign the players they need and fill out their roster. They are in shot of the playoffs every year, but last season. They lost to a team by 1 point that many believe have a shot at the SB and will be better than the Broncos this season. I do not like their entire system they use to build a team, but they make it known that accumulating cap space is not the way to go.

How are the Saints in cap hell? They have $8m in cap space now, and they are on pace for $22m next season. Seems like they sign who they want too.

The Panthers are still better than the Saints, but Gettleman definitely narrowed that gap.

They need 60mil just to put an average NFL caliber defense on the field...    Gonna be a few years out.

Hell they need that just to field a below-average defense. To call the Saints defense an NFL defense is an insult to even the worst NFL defenses.

They went out this off season and signed James Laurinaitis, Craig Robertson, Nick Fairley, Paul Kruger, and Roman Harper for their defense. Seems impressive for a cap strapped team. A much better job than what the Panthers did in the off season bringing in Paul Soliai and no one else of importance.

You should officially vacate just about every SB champion in recent history then. Most were known for their penchant for cheating and dirty play. The Broncos, Patriots, Steelers, Saints, and Giants. That would be 12 of the past 16 SB champion teams.

None of those players are impact players. Who has a better roster Saints or Panthers? You've answered your own question .

QB, OL, FB, RB, and CB are all a push. WR, DE and S are better on the Saints roster. TE, DT, and LB are better on the Panthers roster. The difference comes down to who has the better depth. That would be the Saints.

Last year QB, RB and S were a push. WR was the only position the Saints were better. FB, TE, OL, DE, DT, LB, and CB were all better on the Panthers. In the off season, the Panthers downgraded and the Saints upgraded.

Blame it on the front office, but you can expect to see the changes impact the game on the field. Do not expect a blow out victory in either of the games against the Saints.

      NBA Draft

      I don't follow the NBA but I think that kid has a lot of upside. Really good athlete for his size.

      Will the Panthers be better than most are expecting?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I truly don't see how they could be any worse than last season. Having a rookie head coach isn't always great but he seems to care much more than Frank ever did and appears to actually put forth effort while also having some sort of desire to improve so that in itself should help them exceed expectations.

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By Mage · Posted

      I literally said in my other post that we still deserve criticism, so what are you talking about?  Do you even know what my initial post was about?  Never once did I say it was okay to draft a bust because other teams draft busts. Mods, feel free to put me in my place if I'm going too far.  But it needs to be said. Some of you need to start reading posts in full instead of making it about Bryce every single damn time.  Ultimately my point was that drafting QBs is hard, and if it wasn't the Panthers mistake, it would have been another teams.  Just like Trey Lance, just like Mac Jones, just like Blake Bortles, just like Blaine Gabbert,... I can go on and on.   Yes, Panthers screwed up (assuming Bryce doesn't improve).  Yes, we should be criticized.  But it happens.  The guy asked how it happens and I was just answering his question.  That teams miss on QBs every year, because getting a QB is hard and teams will take every opportunity they can to get one.  But I'm not about to sit and discuss this with someone who thinks Levis even had .001% chance of going ahead of Bryce.  That tells me all I need to know.  No reasonable person would even throw him in the discussion.
