An article in The Athletic is picking the over/under on all the teams in the NFL. They have the Panthers at 5.5 and are picking the under.  However....

Carolina Panthers (5.5): Under

There’s a scenario in which the Panthers emerge as a surprise team. Teddy Bridgewater, Christian McCaffrey and D.J. Moore create a solid foundation to work with. The problem is they could have one of the league’s worst offensive lines, and the Panthers are the only team with a new head coach, new offensive play caller, new defensive play caller and new starting quarterback. The defense is young and unproven. They could be better in the second half of the season and produce a couple of surprising upsets, but it’s tough to project them at six-plus wins.

 

They agree there is a scenario that the Panthers may not be all that awful. If that happens, IMO, Rhule should get coach of the year.

I could see us at 3-13 or 13-3, I have no idea how this team will click. Working against us is the fact the NFC South is stacked af and we got little to no real game time experience for our green defense and new starting QB. On the flip side we have talent, just a lot of raw talent.

Dafug could you ever see them as 13-3?

I'll take the under as well just because the defense

I know this will draw out some Madden chest pounders, but the best, long-term scenario for the team is probably to improve and develop youth all year and lose most every game--If I see positive growth and we are losing, I get that it is part of the process.

Look, we did not go out and sign a bunch of veterans as we have in the past--we got young guys that can do a lot of different things--good athletes. 

The plan is to develop and build long term.

Over as long as a Teddy stays healthy. We won 5 last year with Allen the turnover machine. We have a better O line and can’t be much worse on D than last year. No one was inspired with Allen at QB and we won almost that many games when it seemed like everyone on the team gave up other than CMC

      Panthers have the 3rd leading rusher in NFL

      lol this is hilarious after those stays with this roster man what…..you gotta be joking right so you don’t see little man miss about 2-3 easy big plays a game? Man IMO Canales would look like a hellava offensive coach if he had a QB who could deliver on time and accurate passes all around the field. The numbers would look good if he’d could actually get the ball to the open wrs on this team. We have talent all over the field ilthose numbers should be much much better if you can’t see it you’re scared to admit the truth. He consistently has missed WRs who should either have 30+ yards or TDs added to their resume this season.  He may get better but since he hasn’t lived in the gym yet and formed and developed his NFL body his weak arm hasn’t gotten stronger the competition has gotten faster and better. It worked it college it doesn’t work well in the pros. I’ve been furious with Bryce for that reason he had to see he doesn’t have all them physical tools as other QBs so he should bulk up to his maximum ability to add a little muscle to his frame which could definitely help his throws get there a little better. You don’t remember Horn Jr having to slow down and turn around a couple weeks ago because the ball took forever to get to him while he waited wide open that ball hits him in stride he’s able to put that defender in the got dam blender and score. It’s just another example of Bryce’s arm  not being able to zip passes to his wide receivers but with all that said it’s clear he’s not the guy. He a couple ticks below average this roster is ready to put up points shut down opponents were just not able to run the full playbook bc lil man can’t sling it all around the yard it’s clear as day.

      I have to admit, I was on the Trey Lance wagon.  While he's obviously not ever going to be a franchise QB1, I'm still curious about him as a bridge QB/QB2.

      They're similar in that rushing the passer really isn't their forte. They can impact the pass rush by collapsing the pocket and opening up opportunities for others and sometimes get the sack themselves but sacking the QB isn't what either does best. Jenkins also had the benefit of having MUCH better edge rushers who prevented the QB from escaping the pocket to the outside. Rookie Peppers had 12 sacks on one side and Rucker had 10 on the other. I honestly put them roughly equal as pass rushers. They're not sack monsters but they definitely impact the QB.
