Two games in…. Is this a playoff team?

We have a big time statistician here...

I’m just saying…I spent a lot of time making a thread with these stats looking at the biggest common denominators for super bowl contenders since the Panthers existed. Nothing ranked more in common than a top oline except a top defense. Not even Qb play (which was 3rd).

The defense is there this year, albeit only 2 games in (last year it was not), The oline is…pretty far off. If Darnold continues on this route, the only thing holding this team back is that god forsaken oline.

Let's cool the jets a little bit lol. Way too early to tell. Remember when Kyle Allen went 4-0 in his first four games? That didn't turn out too well.

This. I feel like this young team is bound to hit a wall at some point and have to battle through some mental adversity. I think they could be a very decent team and potentially wild card but I don't think we are quite ready for a deep run into the playoffs yet. Seems like we are getting the pieces together though which is positive news! I guess Rhule or new GM guy definitely knows how to build a defense!

    • Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits. 
    • Panthers win of course.  Like every Sunday I still have the hopelessly optimistic mindset  😎  
    • You do realize that first play was at 9:16 and they scored a TD before the 2 minute warning. 7 minutes is not a super long drive to come out with a TD. Longer developing plays is what helped get Carolina in the situation they were in. So you're suggesting they should have kept calling the same plays that weren't working? Are you suggesting Bryce keep throwing the same passes that weren't being completed? They were not in soft zone coverage. For comparison, this is Carolina's first defensive alignment in the 3rd quarter, and that's with only 1 WR on the field.  Cardinals were in a normal alignment/depth to stop run or pass. Not a soft zone to give underneath passes to TEs/RBs only. The LBs would likely be closer to 10 yards deep and the DBs more like 15-20 yards in that scenario.
