Newsflash:

 

If the 2020 Carolina Panthers beat you, you are pretty much eliminated from playoff contention. 

Well, Herbert had some good moments but his turnovers were the difference and those were some bad plays you'd expect from a rookie. If he can eliminate some of those mistakes I could see them sneaking into a wildcard in the AFC.

Three games does not tell us much.  But at 1-2, with the win against the Bengals, things don't look good for them unless something gives.

They look like a team with a playoff-grade defense.  They've given up 13 to the Bengals, 23 to the Chiefs in an OT game, and 21 against us.  Not shabby.

But, their offense scored 16, 20, and 16 respectively.  If their offense gets to the point it can put up 24 points a game or so, they may be a threat.  Until then, they are going to be close in a lot of games and win a few, but not enough to be a playoff team.

Let's put it this way: their offense has not showed it can put enough points to overcome more than a 13 point fourth quarter deficit against the Falcons.  I think the benchmark to be taken seriously is 17.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
