This is exceptional:

The 2015 Carolina Panthers were a very good team for whom everything broke the right way. The 2016 Panthers were a very good team for whom everything went the other way. 

Cam Newton, according to head coach Ron Rivera, was "shook" by pressure in 2016, per ESPN.com's David Newton. The run game, which had been tremendously effective in 2015, took a turn for the worse. The offense was far less effective in the red zone. Linebacker Luke Kuechly, the team's best defensive player, missed six games due to concerns over concussions. Cornerback Josh Norman, the team's second-best defensive player in 2015, signed a multi-year deal with the Redskins. Injuries beset the offensive line, and the Atlanta Falcons decided to get really, really good in 2016, taking the NFC South by storm.

Yeah, I saw this earlier today.  I was perplexed by the rankings of certain players.  

Like Cam as a Top 5 QB.  Like uhhhhhh, what?

How the fug is Tre Boston our best rated safety?

It's called grading Tre Boston on what he was supposed to do instead of blaming him for every bad thing that happened in the secondary.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
