Seahawks at #2?  Richardson is a beast no doubt, but their top draft pick may never play.

It seems like every year the media is on the Seahawks nuts, regardless how their team looks talent wise.

No one knows what to do with us, including us.

 

The most unrankable group for Week 1. Admittedly, I am probably too low on the Panthers. This feels like a possible 9-7 outfit, but there only one team can inhabit the No. 16 spot in these rankings. And of the groups in pro football's Middle Earth, I have the most concerns and questions about this Carolina team: 

1) What about the pass rush coming off the edge? 
2) Who can hold coverage, other than James Bradberry? 
3) Who is the vertical threat in this offense? 
4) Cam Newton threw all of two passes in August. 
5) How long can Greg Olsen keep being the top option? 

Am I missing something? Would love a few Panthers hot takes. (@HarrisonNFL)

There's are all extremely valid critiques. Although I'd replace #5 with how well the new starting tackles will do in protecting Cam . Gregs going to have a monster season

Is it disrespectful, or is it merely commensurate with where we picked in the draft? When viewed through that lens, it's actually pretty generous. We had the 8th worst record last year, and we're only 10th worst on the power rankings.

I think you might be overrating our overall talent level quite a bit. Very few teams would trade our secondary and WR corps for theirs.

And yes, every team has concerns, but from the outside looking in, Cam's health is a HUGE question mark and we all saw how terrible DA looked last year and this preseason. That alone is enough to knock us down several spots.

And our brain trust let him play in week 17 last year.  Smh

    • A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.
    • I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had. 
    • The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
