Could this the best defense in Panthers history?

I'll know after we play a real offense.  Probably week 4 will be the first real test.

so keeping lesean mccoy to .8 yards per carry isn't enough evidence? the bills are a run first team (wanna be panthers) yet we completely erased any run game they had. the only reason they got any yards is because worley gives wide receivers a lot of cushion, although i am very confident he will become more aggressive as he season progresses.

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? 

What a good looking question:  absolutely not

Who was the bills quarterback again?   Pretty easy to stop McCoy because it was literally the ONLY threat Buffalo had.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
