We will win more this year but not many, see 6-7 wins. If you think this team is going to get a wild card then you’re in for a lot of disappointment.

We had that last year if not for Joey Slye.  He straight up lost us 2 games.  This team is better than last year's team.

The Panthers will have a good season if two things happen:

The defense can get off the field on 3rd downs unlike last season

The offense can sustain drives and score more consistently in the red zone

Thats really it. Those two areas improve over last year this could be a playoff team.

100%. It's the difference between last year's results and a playoff team. Converting first downs, when you really boil it down, is the key. We convert more and we keep them from converting as many. We could have been an 11 or 12 win team last year with just a handful of third down stops by our defense.

This year, we have CMC back and if he can stay healthy and perform as before, then we will convert again and again. Our defense... on paper it should be stouter, but we need Snow to call the defense like he knows it is stout -- aggressive, not passive like last year.

And u all of a sudden think Santoso is the answer? Idk how but the oline got worse from last year as well. 

Santoso made his kicks didn't he?  At least he doesn't have the yips.  Of course he's not going to be 100%, but one bad kick isn't going screw up his focus the rest of the game like the guy he replaced.  Our OL is the same as last year, not worse, not better.  Okung couldn't stay healty at LT and LG was iffy.  Paradis, Miller and Moton are the exact same dudes as last year.

Jameis might be hot garbage 10 times this season but if he's throwing for 400 3td and 1int against us... we still probably lose twice. 

I think Sam Darnold showed enough to say he can win here. But the fact he seems aware of his problems and hasn't really fixed them is concerning. Maybe he's just an okay qb.

That's the thing with Jameis. You could be facing an MVP caliber QB or you could be facing a Dwayne Haskins level QB. You just never know which version of Jameis is gonna show up.

How do you know how Santoso is going to act after a miss kick lol. He has never started a game and been put in any real game situations.

No more than you, but apparently you think he sucks?  I guess we will have to wait and see who is correct on this.

We have been 5-11 for two years and being in a small market makes us the afterthought team. Dallas is a super bowl team every year to the media only to see 8-8…media also thinks unless you have Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, or Pat Mahomes you cant score points in this league or something.

Whats weird is last year was supposed to be the tank for Trevor year but we didn’t and actually did a lot better than the pundits thought but it is what it is.

It’s that weird time where either your team is trash or elite in the media’s eyes but I would gladly take 9-8 and a wild card birth this year because it means we are trending right.

Just you do you boo…you do you…go Panthers

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
