How different are we than last year?

[kungfoodude]

Here are some numbers I crunched to see exactly how big the overhaul was.

Active Roster Players Returning: 45%

Total Games Started Returning: 41%

Total Snaps Returning: 44%

 

That is pretty crazy to see in numerical form.

Might as well be an expansion team compared to last year. Completely new coaches and schemes, new starters all over the place on both sides of the ball.

I think we will be tougher overall, especially on defense

Just like life, it's best to make peace with the unknown. Always exciting.

My expectations are pretty low, so it isn't going to take a lot to impress me. I am already over the fact that we decided to go full tank mode, so I guess we will see how it all works out.

Very different but quite likely a similar record. It would be nice to win two or more games after November, something we haven't done since 2017. 1-15 in the back half of the season in 2018-'19.

Let's go. I don't give a damn about who's back, who's not. New Team, literally. Let's just sit back and watch

Nice list, is this the beginning of 2019 or the end?

Keep the sunshine pumping going. It’s the best.

Lol. Nice one bro! 
 

na, I’m just realistic when it comes to poo. I did miss the weird sunshine pumping on here over the years. No matter how shitty things are, there’s always someone that tries to sunshine pump regardless. The stadium could implode in the middle of a game. But the sunshine pumpers would go “hey, at least the players died as Panthers.”

 

I will give you some credit. You don’t see them getting over 5 wins.

Take Mccaffery  out and the numbers  would boggle your mind. 5 maybe.

Thanks for the math there. Really sums up the amount of overhaul we've had since the end of last season. I'd hazard a guess that no other team had that kind of turnover.

Wow.

So many well known names gone. So many new names to learn. So many opportunities on this team for new stars to emerge. Really hoping for the best, but realistically, it's gonna be a couple of seasons to get really competitive again, especially in the NFCSouth meat grinder.

Forgetting roaster changes, I thing the biggest factor will be " Playing fast" .  Rhule seems to be emphasizing in all his press conference's he wants them to play fast.  I like that philosophy.  Instead of thinking too much and trying not to make a mistake, leading to slow play,  he wants them to take what they're taught and just go out there and play and play fast. If a mistake happens then just learn from that.

Sometimes playing fast can overcome some mistakes.  Looking forward to see if this makes a difference.
