Are the Panthers NFC South Favorites?

I wouldn’t say this team doesn’t have any weakness. FS is a huge question mark right , will Shaq be a serviceable replacement for TD, do Williams and Paradis come back from their injuries, what about LT and backup rb.

And there’s no way I’m saying we’re favorites not knowing how Cam will play.

Brees has started to show some wear and that is likely to be more profound this year, but we also don't know how Cam will be and we don't know if this defense will come together as quickly as we hope. Too many wildcards. But, if those 2 questions for us go in a positive direction, we have a great shot to reclaim our place atop the division.

The division is the Saints to lose.  Falcons appear to be healthy, and so do we.  We improved more than either in the off season, but until proven on the field, the Saints are all in and should be considered the favorites.

Anything less than South title would be a  major embarrassment for them, despite how good the Panthers and Falcons are.  Gonna be a good fight.

We’ve won 6 out of our last 18 division games with one of those being a meaningless game against the saints in the last week last year. 

For comparison: here are the divisional records from the rest of the south since our super bowl season of 2015. 

Bucs:  7 wins 11 losses

Saints:  10 wins 8 losses

Falcons:  13 wins 5 losses

 

in all honesty, we should be picked dead last this year based on the Bucs finally having a competent coaching staff. This division has owned Rivera and company since 2015.

Has history been re-written about the Pittsburgh game? If my memory serves me correctly, Cam didn't get injured in the Pittsburgh game. He was already injured and the Steelers just exposed the fact that he couldn't throw the ball more than 10 yards and gave the rest of the league the blueprint on how to beat the Panthers. Am I wrong?

This is what most people think was the final straw. Only Cam and his Dr's know, but it sure didn't help him any.

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
