Could this the best defense in Panthers history?

Yes, it has only been two games, but I have seen enough. Peppers even said yesterday that this is the best defense he has ever been on, and he was on some pretty good ones back in the day. 

If they can stay healthy, I feel like this will end up being the best defense the Carolina Panthers have ever put together. And if that is true, the Superbowl is within reach no matter how long it takes for the offense to get its act together. 

 

What say you? Is this defense tops?

If they keep pounding like they have been. I do not see why not. They are playing strong, tackling well it's just downright sexy. And I'm very impressed with our secondary so far, Worley especially.

I agree with notion but I would like to see more in the Turnover area Once the running games gets going , this defense will go up another level with ability to stay fresh for 4 qtrs.

Actually when I think about it, this front seven minus Julius was here in 2015.  We had a better secondary with Tillman and Norman.  I might have to say we were better in 2015 due to the secondary, but Julius certainly adds oomph to this defense.

The front 7 has more experience, Shaw was a rookie and didn't play as much.  I wouldn't say the secondary was necessarily better in 2015.  Tillman was old and got picked on when QBs had time to throw.  Then he got hurt and we ended up signing Cortland Finnegan and Robert McClain who definitely are not upgrades over the corners now.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      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?
