The Athletic has updated their power rankings and also listed a season prediction for each team

Guess who is last? You guess the Panthers? WRONG

 

We are 29 BABY!!!

Quote

29. Carolina Panthers

Perhaps no team will feel the pain of a shortened offseason more than Carolina. They’re the only team with a new head coach, offensive play-caller, defensive play-caller and starting quarterback. If the line can protect, the offense has a chance to be fun. But it would take a minor miracle for the defense to be even mediocre. This season is about Matt Rhule setting the culture and the Panthers finding out which young players they can build around.

 

 

Suck it, Jacksonville. 

Suck it, Washington

Suck it, New York Jets

 

That is all.

Guess the year

24. Carolina Panthers

Week 1 opponent: at Jacksonville Jaguars

What's good: Luke Kuechly remains one of the best linebackers in football, and the Panthers nabbed another good one in first-round pick Shaq Thompson.

What's bad: Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL in the preseason, leaving Cam Newton with an even smaller set of receivers. Newton and the defense will have to carry this team.

Hah. Seriously. 2014 we made the playoffs, won a game, played Seattle tough (90 yard pick six was the difference) and had a 5-1 finish. Just because some idiot only looked at our record for the 2015 preview and the injury to KB doesn’t mean our 0-8 finish is being overlooked now. We also won the division with a 7-8-1 record. Two teams in our division this year will likely have 10 wins. I can’t believe I’m even explaining the differences, Lol.

Point is preseason power rankings don't mean poo, especially when there aren't any preseason games.

Yeah, that is a pretty awful way of attempting to get across that message. You could have, I don't know, just said:

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
