Top Panthers things to be thankful for?

im thankful to have all you fukers to entertain me when ish is boring at work! <3

And also thankful that the Panthers have won as much as they have. Seriously if you told me after the last preseason game that

  1. Greg Olsen would miss 8.5 games,
  2. Luke would miss 1.5,
  3. Ryan Kalil would miss 8,
  4. Kurt Coleman would miss 3.5, and
  5. we would trade Kelvin Benjamin away after 8 games...

and then told me we'd be 7-3 after 10 games, i would laugh in your face.

This team has faced so much adversity and has only lost due to self-inflicted mistakes. The only game we were truly out-played was the Saints game, and we were still an offense figuring out its pieces and had just lost our main one (Greg). Our defense hadn't truly settled in yet either. yes, im hyping myself up, but you have to admit, this ought to give us so much hope for the last leg of the season and the playoffs. This team probably hasnt truly hit its stride yet. Watch us hit it in the Saints game when Greg has had a week to get back in game mode.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
