So what are the positives from the Panthers 2020 season?

Offense: 

1. Offensive line has been scrapped together with random vets and should not have been as good as it has been (not that it's been great) -- this is a testament to both Brady's system and also the OL coaching. I view this as a very big positive. Reminds me a bit of the Pats OL all those years under Scarnecchia...

2. WR core. This is definitely the best group of WRs this team has ever seen, and I would even argue we have the best group of 3 WRs in the entire league. An elite QB would have an absolute field day with these guys.

Defense:

1. Near elite play from breakout players in Burns and Chinn

2. Development of young players in Brown, YGM, Pride, Carter, etc.

3. Phil Snow has been a bit of a revelation. 18th in the league in both points allowed and yards allowed on defense this year, with by far the most snaps by rookies and frankly a pretty damn bad overall defense on paper. Extremely impressed by the defense this year. I was fully expecting a bottom 3 defense.

1) We had a good draft, based on the play and/or progress shown by more than one of them.

2) Somehow, this overmatched team was competitive in nearly every game.  Eventually those near misses will start turning into wins.  That is a credit to the coaching staff and the players that bought into them.

3) We are much younger

4) We did this thing called game planning for an opponent and sometimes even did something called making adjustments

5) We unloaded a lot of dead cap and dead weight in the process

6) Hurney is finally not in a position to do any damage with his contracts or hidden gems.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
