Football Outsiders has us atop DVOA per Panthers Wire's Rizzuti

Say what you want about metrics, but they at least are indicative that Rhule and  company have the Panthers on the right track. But more than that, we could actually be turning a corner--gradually transitioning into one of the elite franchises. At least we can dream about it as something that is very much attainable.

We've been Snowed! The defense is powering our turnaround.

“That’s [the defense] the unit that’s powering the Panthers so far this season,” writes Aaron Schatz, the creator of DVOA. “Carolina has -52.0% defensive DVOA through two games. The Panthers rank No. 1 in both adjusted line yards and adjusted sack rate. This is quite the unexpected improvement, as the Panthers ranked 24th in defensive DVOA a year ago.”

 

"Carolina’s defense, in some more normal stats, has allowed the fewest points per game (10.5), the fewest yards per game (190.0), the fewest first downs (22), the fewest yards per rush (2.7) and the lowest third-down conversion rate (25 percent)."

It‘s like they had a plan. Even told everyone it wouldn’t happen overnight. 

We’re only in year 2. I thought best case scenario this would be a 3 year rebuild with year 4 (2023) being the first year that we’d be competitive with the goal being a wildcard berth. It’s looking like next year might actually be our first year that we hope to make the playoffs. 

Would be pretty impressive given 95% of this board agreed we had the leagues worst roster prior to last season.
