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.

      The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.

      Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
