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.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
