The Carolina Panthers entered 2020 as the team with by far the most change as any team in the league. Twice as much change as the next highest team on the list. 

 

New coaches. New schemes. New starters at key positions. All during a pandemic where OTAs were not possible, an abridged training camp, and zero preseason games. This team was scotch taped together only a couple months ago. 

 

And guess what?

 

They have played 3 games and have been very competitive in each, winning one. 

 

All in all, I'd say that is pretty fuggin incredible. 

 

Just thought I would offer some Wednesday perspective. 

 

Love,

 

Your MFCEO

I'm honestly not surprised. I was never a big Rivera fan. I always thought he was a mediocre head coach propped up by extremely talented players. Sean McDermott was the real talent in that coaching staff. Look what happened to the defenses after he left.

The game passed him by a long time ago and I'm glad he's coaching another team. Great person, hell of a guy, but not who I would want coaching my favorite team.

This is two-fold though... There has been absolutely zero film on our coaches and many of our players in these schemes. I'm certainly optimistic and tend to take a positive view of it, but game film on our team could certainly become a factor later in the year and in subsequent seasons. The adjustments in game ease my concerns about this tremendously, as that has clearly already been a huge step up from Rivera.

It really is incredible. The amount of no-names/rookies playing on this team is astounding: Trent Scott, John Miller, Chris Reed, Tahir Whitehead, Juston Burris, Rasul Douglas, Stephen Weatherly, Joseph Charlton (I can go on). And they are actually holding their own for the most part. The coaching staff deserves a mega-ton of credit. 

Could y'all imagine if we make the playoffs with this team? It would be movie-worthy

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
