Let's get some optimism brewing in this mf'er people of ze globe:

1. Christian McCaffrey RB/OW

He will be an immediate impact on the offense and could revitalize that side of the ball for us.  Big added dynamic and a for sure impact.  With Cam, Olsen, KB and an improved line, I hope our guys our determined to put the league on notice.  I foresee a handful and more 34+ burgers this season.    

I'm thinking a FLOOR this season of 500 running yards, 250 receiving, 6 total TDs.  Ceiling of 900 rushing yards, 500 receiving, 11 total TDs

 

2. Curtis Samuel WR

We cannot expect him to come out with a big impact but I can see him rising as the year begins.  He may not even get a catch Game 1 but I could see him having a few 60+ yarder performances before midseason.  We should still be very excited for the Brooklyn Blur but with tempered expectations at the get-go.  

A Floor expectation: ~30 receptions, 450 yards, 3 TDs; optimistic breakthrough year: 55 receptions, 800 yards, 7 TDs

 

2.  Taylor Moton OT/G

This man is the hidden gem at OL.  I feel really confident about Moton.  Now, Williams may be starting over him at the get-go but I think he will compete and also be able to fortify this line.  He can play G and T which is huge for depth and he's seems like one of the more solid lineman I've seen us pickup in some time.  

 

3. Dasheon Hall DE

I really hope this man can develop. He's got the athletic mold, skillset, and vets around him.  He has the get-off and I could see his bend and burst coming together.  

Floor expectation: <15 tackles, 2.5 sacks (Not that I think he won't produce, but DE take some molding)

Surprise year: If CJ or Peppers show some wear and tear and Hall excels past Horton: 20 tackles, 5 sacks

 

Corn Elder, Armah, and Butker: May you find your way to the field and not leave us.  I still like all 3.  

The harvest is in full swing.  

 

I see at least 4 contributors and three question marks (IR, PS, and Gano'd)

Whatsayouuuu?

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.
