Panthers are 5-12 vs NFC South since 2016

Everything went to shyt after the super bowl. It was after 2015, the other South teams made moves that would position themselves to handle us; while the saints did that plus make moves that have them dominating the league.

We’ve got to blow this thing up, and build a team that will compete in the south. Build up both lines, and continue to add offensive playmakers.

Issue is Panthers match up horribly vs. Saints & Falcons, and that’s 25% of schedule every year.

Saints are just flat out better in general (and perhaps full strength Falcons roster is as well), but both have offenses built to beat the Panthers downfield and can counter the Panthers’ only dynamic offensive players (Jones is a decent counter to both Cam in containment and CmC in coverage, while the Saints take something more of a team approach). A decent draft or two can rectify that, however, as could a more forward-thinking coach.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
