Enjoy the rest of the season, because the Panthers will probably be terrible next year.

It’s no secret, the Panthers have been more lucky than good this season. Let’s start with a crucial drop by Bills WR Zay Jones in Week 2 at the end of the game. Lucky penalties at the end of the game against the Patriots to give the Panthers a first down on the final drive of the game. A windy day at Tampa In the first game leads to an off day for Jameis Winston, despite having wide open receivers all game. A critical drop by Julio Jones against Atlanta hands the Panthers a win. Panthers get to face a rusty and injured Aaron Rodgers, who still almost beats them. Cam Newton fumbles a snap at the end of the game against the Bucs and still scores a TD. 

The ball has just bounced the Panthers way this season more often than not. In 2016, luck seemed to be against the Panthers. With a black cat as a mascot, luck seems to be a fickle mistress for this team. So let’s all appreciate this season, because 2018 will most likely be rough when the luck turns around again.

Congrats buddy !! You have the dumbest post of the year . Merry Christmas 

Yea, a post about how lucky this team has been this year is so dumb....this is not a good team, it’s a lucky team. Next year, like 2016, is probably going to be a rough season. Add on the Jerry Richardson situation and the sale of the team and who the hell knows where this team will be in a year. We have to appreciate this season even more because of all the bounces the Panthers got this season because that pendulum is about to swing back, hard.

Claiming luck is why football teams win is pathetic, and shows a surprise lack of understanding of the game. Good day with your miserable comprehension.

well considering our offense should be considerably better with a healthy samuel back alongside cmc with more experience and whatever draft picks/fa acquisitions we'll likely add, i could argue we'd still be competitive.

 

you arent accounting for injuries. There's always multiple injuries every season , if the last 2 years have taught you anything , its that you are very very very lucky to have all your starters healthy for a full season

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
