Guess what?  We not dead ass last!

27. Carolina Panthers

Post-free-agency ranking: 27

Player who benefited: DE-OLB Brian Burns. Adding first-round pick Derrick Brown at defensive tackle next to Pro Bowler Kawann Short is going to create a lot of inside push and demand a lot of double-teams. That leaves Burns, last year's first-round pick, with more room to get to the quarterback. Look for a lot more Spider-Man celebrations out of Burns, who impersonates his superhero with "Spidey" poses after each sack. He had 7.5 last season as a rookie, despite dealing with a wrist injury that forced him to wear a cast or a brace for much of the season. Quarterbacks beware. -- David Newton

They think the skins, det, and the giants are going to be worse than us?  I dont see it.  Bengals are getting a ton of talent back that they lost last year but they are going to be starting a rookie.  I think the Jags are def the worst team with us and the bengals as the next one up.  I honestly think riverboat is going to have the redskin defense playing at a high level.  Lots of talent on that side of the ball.

Also, weird seeing the Pats that low and the Bucs that high. Excuse me if I don't buy the hype for the Browns 2.0, though. 

Browns seem to win the Offseason every year but still turn into poo during the real season

It is amazing what a solid DL will do for a team.  When the first thing the QB and C see when they get to the line is four guys they would rather not see, it can have quite an effect on the opposing offense.  Our defense could go from Swiss cheese to decent or better if that group can gel early.

I don't care about prognostication. I care about on-field performance. We could be much better than that - or, gulp, worse.

Bottom line for me is that I think we're moving in the right direction. Back to back playoff seasons under Rhule? I think it's going to happen, and probably in the next 5 seasons.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
