Jonathan Jones weighs in on Panthers season and record...

JJ says 9-7 for the Panthers. He also gives records for all other teams here...

He has the Panthers at 3rd in the division behind Tampa Bay and Atlanta. They miss the playoffs. 

I agree with him here:

Pivotal game: Week 8 at Buccaneers. In a tight division, Carolina needs to reassert itself as the dominant team that won the NFC South three straight times. This is the Panthers’ first divisional game, and it will be followed immediately by a visit from the Falcons. 

Also, he uses the term Blind Side which I will be teasing him about. 

 

If JJ's prediction is right, I believe a total coaching regime change would take place on black Monday.

This team has too much talent at key positions to not make the playoff every season! 
Cam, KK, Luke, Greg, TD/Shaq, Stew, Star, Trai, Norwell, KB (not the fat version), R. Kalil + young talent like McCaffrey, Samuel, Bradberry (and possibly Worley and Butler) - nuff said

I am not sure 9-7 means doom for the coaching staff but agree it's highly likely.  Barring massive injury tally, it's hard for them to justify throat record with the talent they have.  

I feel like it does. 

JR is done messing around. The Panthers were active in free agency and had an offensive minded draft. 

It is the playoffs this year or everyone will be sent packing, except Gettleman.

I agree that if they miss the playoffs this year that heads must roll.   I'm not convinced just yet that JR would green light Dave to clean house but he should if it plays out that way.   I for one would love to know who Dave's first choice for head coach would be.

    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
