Its a little wonky to do power rankings this early in the season but I guess this is good? Our ranking improved from pre season on both sites but they are still worried about Cam's accuracy and the fact that it was just the 49ers who are clearly in a fresh rebuild. I can't really blame them that much.

After watching the first weeks games, where would you rank the Panthers in your own power rankings?

Couldn't care less, but we are the most talented team in football as I've explained before (only team in 10 years to win 17 games, Divisional Round 3 of 4 years, former MVP and DPOY in their 20's, 13 former Pro Bowlers, 12 former 1st Rd picks, 5 former top 10 picks, 8 former top 15 picks, etc., etc. etc.).

For those who say the SF game was not a good win, this is the NFL, not college football with Alabama playing Southwest Alaska State.  Any win is a good win, especially when you keep the opponent out of the end zone.  Doesn't mean we will win next week, but then neither would beating them 42-0.   

 

I have no problem with  either power ranking, although I think being 18th might motivate the team a little more.

    • Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
    • I hope we are as improved as a lot of fans are hoping. However, this time of year everyone in the league thinks they have improved. It will be interesting. 
    • How many new starters will we have on defense?  That could be a good thing given how bad the D was last year, but it could also take some time for them to gel.
