The NFL is about parity. There are few teams in the upper tier and a few bottom dwelling teams every season, every other team is in the middle. This version of the Panthers can be a fringe playoff team if, BIG IF, things goes their way. First off health. This goes for every team. It takes a special club to overcome a rash of injuries and still get into the playoffs. Secondly, timing. The Panthers have to catch a good team on a short week, with key injuries or some disruption to their team dynamic--like a dome team in the rain, for example. Lastly, luck. In order for the Panthers to get over the hump, things have to go their way in 2-3 games. Things like a controversial call in our favor, a DC going into prevent defense most of the 4th quarter, a fortunate (for us) turnover by the opposition while trying to seal a win etc... This will be the difference in a 6 win Panthers team and 9 win squad this season. I can't see us lower than 6 wins (short of the wheels completely falling off) because they roster has been getting better or higher than 9 wins simply due to Bryce's ceiling. -
I'm not questioning who was better or worse. I'm saying Moore was handed the keys and was trash. Clausen wasn't a Fox pick and Fox didn't want to play him but Moore sucked in Weeks 1-2 and Fox had to turn to Clausen for a while. Doesn't mean Moore wasn't given the starting job; he absolutely was and he absolutely got the most reps throughout camp. -
Most of the "best" QBs come after that point because they are going to better teams. That #1 pick comes with the knowledge you are walking into a trainwreck. You know, like we were. And even for transcendent QBs, it takes time, seasons, to get it back on track. Tough job, but so many dollars.
