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.

Better schedule too.  We win 10 games. 

I am writing this inside a cave right now, so that when archeologists find it in 2000 years, they will say, "This MHS neanderthal was right."

Quick comment on the Panthers by Albert Breer in the latest MMQB...

One team I think is better than people realize: Carolina. If the Panthers can figure things out at linebacker and left tackle, I think you’ll see Matt Rhule’s program working in a weakened NFC South.

Part of the problem is the market the Panthers are in. When teams are being evaluated, let's just face it, the Panthers are not a sexy team, which means most articles written about the Panthers are lacking depth. Part of that is just lazy reporting.

Peter King usually does a pretty good job covering all teams, even if he has a northeast bias. He has the Panthers as a near .500 team with either eight or nine wins and points out that the last month of the season is going to be incredibly tough.

The Panthers really need to win early to have a shot at the playoffs. I agree with King.

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

Santoso may not be the answer but he has yet to prove he's the consistent problem like Slye was.

We are going to be in contention for a wildcard spot this year.  I feel it

I'm not ready to buy that.

I could see us being better than expectations.

I could also see us being an improved team but that not being reflected in the win-loss record.

100% agree. This is year two of the rebuild. Last year, with one of the least talented rosters in Panthers history, I thought we exceeded expectations. If we just show improvement from last season, I am not going to get caught up on the W/L record. Especially with a potential disaster brewing in our starting QB and OL. That can easily torpedo a season even if we are a better overall team.

Show improvement from 2020 and I am good.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
