Peter Schrager: Panthers are the best story in the NFL.

I think he's jumping the gun just a bit. We're 2-2 so that makes us a .500 team. We beat the Chargers (1-3) and the Cardinals (2-2). The two losses came against a 3-2 Tampa team and the Raiders (2-2). We've played hard in all of our games. But, if we lose to the Falcons (0-4) this week I don't think Mr. Schrager (or my fellow Huddlers) will be feeling the same way.

Ehh, we've already exceeded or matched many people's (fans, media, etc.) expectations for this season and we're only a quarter of the way through. I agree a loss this week would be brutal and feel demoralizing, but just a couple weeks ago we were the favorites for 1st overall pick and many thought we had a chance to go 0-16... 2-2 is a huge success considering the roster turnover, coaching staff turnover and all the dead cap we have.

He said we are the best story, not the best team. We were suppose to win a game or two and have the worst defense in history. We were supposed to have a coaching staff in over their heads.  We are looking like a competitive team out of the blue. That makes a good story.

Though I'm not a big fan of Peter Schrager as he seems to just be a typical NFL talk type of guy not a knowledgeable analyst. More like a Stephen A Smith.

It’s amazing what getting a smart and competent coaching staff can do for a team.

No kidding. They’ve impressed me the most because I’m sorry to sound negative that we do have talent holes in a lot of places. It does make you sad for the 2013-2017 run to think what could have been with all that talent if we had a coaching staff like this in place.

We have a young team that tries hard, every game.  Regardless of our final record, and assuming we continue to be "that team", this season is going to be our most successful since 2015.  Turning over so much of the team both on the player side and staff side . . . it's incredible.

All this premised by "assuming we continue".  If the team gives up at some point, well, we've all seen that story unfold before.  I am cautiously optimistic for our future, if not this season.

Honestly, with a coaching staff as talented as this one, the 2015 Panthers probably go undefeated and win the Super Bowl, and then follow it up with a strong run at another title in 2016.  That team was talented.

      Mike White or Hendon Hooker coming back?

      Absent proof that he absolutely  concurred 100% with his superior, there is nothing that can change my opinion.  Also, I would appreciate it if you would not lay the motivation for that opinion on wanting Morgan to succeed because he is an ex Panther. I do want hi. To succeed because of that and just because he is the GM of my favorite team, but I have enough independent thinking ability to separate my feelings down what Insee.    I said many times before Morgan ever made GM or before Bryce was chosen that I could not believe and ex player could endorse that decision. I was speaking of Reich but also a MLB? Really? I feel like any ex high level defensive guy would be salivating at the prospect  of facing a Bryce in a game.   Whether an ex Panther, a Giant, a Buc, whatever jersey they wore.

      Stats clearly reveal that the Panthers are among the least efficient passing teams in the NFL

      Years ago there use to be a website called Cold Hard Football Facts.com. I used to hang out there to read the articles and their interpretation of the football data. After the midseason point, when teams had generated enough data to set trends, these guys could predict the winner of game 75% of the time using nothing but statistical data. They said the single most important piece of data for passing efficiency is Yards per attempt. "I think" they said any team at 7.0 yds/attempt or higher would usually be among the top 10 teams in the NFL year in and year out if even if they only had an average defense. The lower the number, the least successful the team. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/offense/stat/passing/table/passing/sort/yardsPerPassAttempt/dir/desc If you toggle the column and arrange it from best to worst the data clearly proves their point. Nearly every team above 7.0 this season (16 in all)  has a strong chance of making the playoffs with the possible exceptions of Washington and Dallas. Washington has been decimated by injuries this year and Dak's excellent season is being overlooked because the Cowboy defense can't stop anyone in 2025. The teams below 7.0 are clearly the tier 2 and tier 3 teams in the NFL with the exception of Denver which is currently sitting atop the AFC West at 8-2.
