You guys are getting real defensive over my opinions, jesus.  I guess last season made me real sour after i was flying so high just the season before. on. 

Well, I said in a post early on last season that 2016 was looking a lot like 2004. Injuries killed us in 2004 and got us in 2016 too. I remember thinking the year we went to the Superbowl the first time that our second string was almost as good as our first string. We didn't have that in 2004 and we definitely didn't have that in 2016.

I think his offensive line is much better.  That was the issue in the past, hope they're trash again.  We'll see.  

Yep, we will have to wait and see, there's a lot still up in the air at this time of year. But the Hang over is for real and Atlanta has a lot to be hung over about. LOL

I learned my lesson last year.  Got too blinded by my own hype & enthusiasm that I couldn't see signs of trouble.  I assumed that travesty of a preseason game against the Pats that I sat through live at BoA was just a fluke.  Sadly... it was all too real a foreshadowing of the season.

I'm gonna wait quite a while before coming up with a season prediction.  Like, after week1, (or maybe late October...!)

I will say, this looks like a very easy schedule compared to last year, and assuming the Panthers do return to strong, winning form, be prepared for lots of whining by the media that it's "all because of our easy schedule."  Well, I for one am going to accept the gift of an easy schedule and hope we thrive on it.  If we DON'T win with this schedule, heads will roll.

That schedule looks pretty soft honestly. I looked at it from strictly a starting QB angle. If you have the best QB you have a much higher chance of winning and being a good team overall. I got 14-2 at best. The only QBs that we will be facing next season that are arguably better than Cam are Brady and Rodgers, and there is talk that Cam is right there in the top echelon of QBs. Obviously there are other factors involved in winning a game, but if you have best QB you have a better chance of winning the game. 

I think we are in for a really good season barring bad injury or some other b.s.

I could see us starting 3-0 with a couple blowouts already, and going into Foxboro and beating the Patriots, letting everyone know we are fuging back on the scene.

Remember guys, this team ran roughshod over the entire league in 2015.  Let's get it.

      Them playing behind a couple more seasoned guys until they get familiar with coverage and pace of play is a good thing though. We really can use them to spell the other guys, and in situational ball especially with Ransom on possible run/blitzing downs.

      I think completion percentage is a bit of a overinflated stat for a qb too. People place to much stock into it. So many factors to consider with it : receivers, how many attempts are made deep, the defense etc all play a roll in it. When it’s considerably low 50% or less the QB accuracy can come into question. But I don’t think it’s necessarily one of the better percentages to put so much importance into for that position. General effectiveness is far more indicative of the QB you have. First downs, 3rd and 4th down conversions, points scored and clutch plays IMO is how you grade a QB. Always bothered the poo out of me how people downed Cam for his completion percentage and that’s what they used to disregard him as an all time great. Dude damn near averaged 3tds to 1 turnover a game and was an obvious difference maker for us.
