In 2002 the Panthers finished with the 2nd best defense in the league and won 4 of their last 5 games to finish 7-9 with their only loss during that stretch coming at Heinz Field to Pittsburgh.

That season 4 of the top 6 defenses in the league did not make the playoffs.

I think Del Rio left after that season too.

I'm proud of this defense. They look great. They've been stuffing runs very well these past few weeks. They don't deserve what the offense is doing to them. Their stats would be even higher if not for the offense and special teams giving teams turnovers and great field position every time.

The defense has turned it around beautifully so far this season. Major props to Ron Meeks. Our offense isn't even that bad...D-Will and J-Stew can rack up yards on any defense. Smitty is a constant threat. All we need is a quarterback who won't turn the damn ball over.

You really think this D could hang with the Colts, Saints or other high octane offense? I don't.

I think they'd hold up. They may even be better (barring injury) by the time we play the aints. They are showing up in a big way. They're all tough in the NFL. This defense doing well is no mistake.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
