Offseason Examination : Carolina Panthers (NBC Sports)


Hoenheim

Recommended Posts

Might be the first content I've seen from a non-Panthers source that predicted us to be even remotely competitive this season. Actually acknowledged Cam got hurt while standing in the pocket and his tendency to hold the ball too long , while most talking heads will blather on about Cam just running too much. Said CMC is very key, actually acknowledged our WRs are decent , while I've seen several videos talking about how we lost Funchess is a big blow lol. 

What do you think of this?

 True sports analysis, and unbiased examinations of teams is a rarity. It helps to remember that sports is entertainment, and therefore media is more concerned about hyping the popular teams, creating dramatic talking points,  and building narratives that drive views and clicks. 

This applies to essentially everything in media- news, sports, money shows, history channels, etc etc.

As with every season, we are good when our key starters stay healthy.  Once the injures start to rack up, so do the loses.  The team preaches next man up, but seldom does that actually happen with much effectiveness.  It's an odd number year so there's hope!

We were a potential SB contender until Cam's arm turned to mush last year...with a shitty defense. 

IF Cam is healthy, and the defense can just be decent?  With an improved OL?  We're a playoff team for sure. 

I think the D sucked because Ron had Washington calling the plays. When Ron took over they gave up 18 on average

    • Lol Atlanta looks to have lost their young edge rusher, has no 1st round pick, a complete mess at QB, a new coaching staff… And we swept them this year. Says what they think of us. 
    • I mean, you can only go so far with the propping up. When a guy's numbers are as bad overall as Bryce's you have to try to find specific niches to sell. It's just funny that they're honing in on where he's probably weakest to try to prop him up. Whether it's a pro-Bryce conspiracy or not, it echos my chief complaint about PFF's analysis for years. When your purely statistical analysis badly skews from the eye test of actually watching the games, it should be screaming at you that you need to modify your system not double down on it. PFF is awesome at compiling stats but their grade systems are highly flawed and they never seem to try to improve them.
    • Then why is Byce also last in other PFF stats?  The deep ball thrower stat by PFF can simply be flawed vs some conspiracy trying to prop up a QB on a team that a former employee now works for.  Both of these guys were also hired AFTER the Panthers had already drafted Bryce.  Trying to prop him up with a made up stat while he struggled would be a detriment to their own team honestly.
