I give to you - Carolina Panthers best case scenerio 2020

Hello and welcome to Best Case Scenerio!

If these things transpire, I will throw a huddle party full of free booze and pie. 

 

1. Cam Newton plays, stays healthy, and is signed to an extension. The next 5 years are spent with a true franchise QB. 

2. The Panthers draft well in protecting said Cam Newton. Rhule shows for the first time in over a decade than protecting the QB is a top priority. 

3. Rhule's NFL learning curve is a relative short one, and the Carolina Panthers start to resemble an actual NFL team again by October. 

4. CMC signs a life long contract. 

5. Shaq Thompson somehow starts to perform at the level they pay him and becomes a leader on defense. 

6. Donte Jackson becomes more consistent and lessens the upcoming likely loss of bradberry, 

7. The young Carolina Panthers finish around 8-8 but show improvement and lots of fire as the season goes on, as opposed to the opposite of we have grown to expect. 

8. 2021 becomes a year we start eyeing a wild card spot.

I like the optimism but am not buying it. I see a top 3 to 5 pick in April 2021. We got the NFC North and AFC west in this upcoming schedule. The only bad teams we are playing are Arizona, Detroit and Washington. Probably a 3-4 wins season.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
