"a team that, while is 3-0, isn’t in the same class"

I hate this idea. Muh “haven’t played anybody yet”. All NFL teams are chock full of NFL players and NFL coaches. They are all incredibly talented. Any NFL team can beat any NFL team. It happens every week. You play who the NFL puts on your schedule, and so far we’ve beaten them all, in convincing fashion each week.

I hear what you're saying, but there's rankings in sports for a reason.  Yes there are professional players and coaches on all NFL teams, but all players and coaches aren't as gifted, talented, and experienced on the same levels.  Panthers were supposed to have trashed the Jets, Saints and Texans....  the Jets and Texans are terrible teams and the Saints are an average at best team who were missing several coaches when Carolina played them.  The Panthers are SUPPOSED to be 3-0 against those teams under those conditions.   They did what they were expected to do.  Like I said, they haven't played anybody of significance and have the opportunity to prove themselves against a solid Cowboys team this week.   They beat them, Carolina would get more respect for a legit win.

 

Carolina is missing two solid starters and Dallas is missing 6 starters.  Dallas is still playing solid football, but Carolina can take advantage of Dallas missing those key guys.

You losers beat the Jets, Texans, and Saints (with no coaches).


What do all of those teams have in common? They don’t have a QB or WRs and their defenses are terrible.

You’re about to run into a damn buzzsaw and you’re all weird for thinking your dog crap team is about to actually beat the Cowboys 😂 

Don’t be surprised if your team doesn’t score a single point. See you in a couple days. 

You're cute. You weren't even alive the last time the boys have been winners.

Again, clinging to those trophies when they probably aren't even old enough to remember those runs. Imagine bragging about something that happened 25 years ago. 

I definitely hear where you're coming from, but it did happen.  It holds more weight than NEVER happened in team history.  That's all I was saying.

This post is for those who claim we haven't beaten anybody. 

Y'all are idiots. The media that says this ignorant shot is just as stupid. 

We don't pick who we play. We play the team next up on the schedule.  We took care of business every game.  

That makes us 3-0. 

This weekend, we'll take care of business,  and be 4-0

corny.  thought this type of disgusting clown show attitude was reserved for philly pieces of poo.    you should feel embarrassed.   

Dude.  You're on the CAROLINA PANTHERS messageboard.  

WTF did you expect to see here?   Dak Praise?  Cowboys Worship?   😂 

If you wanted either of that, maybe it would be best if you went back to your own board.

Eh.  Here's the thing.  NOBODY projected us to beat the Saints.  We weren't suppose to.  I understand though, things happened with the Saints.  We still weren't picked to be winners.  The Saints game, even amongst fans, was always kind of a tossup in the offseason.  Nobody really knew what they would be like; what should be expected from Jameis.

At any rate, whether we were SUPPOSED to be 3-0 or 2-1 isn't really the big thing here.  We weren't SUPPOSED to be the #1 defense in the NFL.  In fact we were projected to be 25th.  We certainly weren't projected to be on a historic pace for yards allowed and rush yards allowed.  The 2000 Ravens allowed 60 yards rushing per game.  We're allowing 45 per game.  No RB has rushed for more than 25 yards against us.  Are those stats going to stay that impressive for 14 more games?  No, of course not.  But my point is, we weren't SUPPOSE to suffocate those teams.  Yeah we beat who we were supposed to beat, but we've done so decidedly, so much so that we're the only NFL team this season who has never played from behind.

As far as respect goes, if we are talking about from the media, that won't happen until we win consistently.  It's not a one year thing (see 2015).  It's a year after year we're in the playoff hunt.  Nobody is going to put their reputation out there and say the Panthers are real contenders.  Gotta prove it.

Well despite Dallas missing six guys, they have still been playing solid ball so I dont think excuses can be used there for them.

 

There's a few of the Panther fans here giving excuses already as well.  I've seen a few posts claiming that if the Cowboys win, its because of the refs.  Thats loser talk.

This is why Rhule is showing more promise than Rivera. For the first time we are beating the teams we are supposed to beat, handily.

    • With the exception of knowing our obvious needs and who we were talking to along the way, my question is this:  How did so many people start on this Jalon Walker frenzy?  I think this--everyone wants to have a voice, make a prediction.  Now with social media and 24 hour tv, networks, etc.  it is more like a middle school grapevine than it is a process where people actually dig for real evidence and reasons.  Speculative journalism is lazy, and since there are now 2,348.356 podcasters with basement studios blasting nonsense into our phones all day, I think they just cut and paste ideas.  Yes, coaches lie and mislead, but I don't think Morgan or Canales did.  You are only as reliable as your sources.  Was Morgan more deliberate this year?  I think he heard the gossip and decided to downplay WR.  He said, (paraphrasing) "We like our QB room.  We will probably add to it at some point."  Not a lie, but definitely downplaying things. I was convinced that we needed a blazer to keep safeties honest, but to be honest, I am not sure that we have the QB with the arm to keep safeties honest.  We have Coker who is 6'1", Theilen is 6'2", and Legette is 6'3" and now TMac is 6'4"+.  It seems size has more value than blazing deep speed.  If I had known they thought that, I might have gone with TMac all along--I thought he was not a good fit.  And if you look at the Panther guide and consider the talent they met with in the first round, there was only one offensive player--TMac. There was another quote that Morgan made that might have been a bit revealing or at least directive. (Paraphrasing) "We want players that were productive in college."  Well, TMac was very productive. In 2023 and in 2024, he averaged 108.8 yards per game.   He is also a great artist.  Drew this portrait of Bryce Young from memory: Many people spent 3 months absolutely confident that Jalon Walker would play edge here. We had a need at edge, but with Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones, were we OK if we drafted a second round Edge? Was Walker the answer?  Unlike Hunter, he is a versatile player who could be awesome in the right system, but if used as a pure edge, he is not a top 10 player.  I was convinced that we would sign Jalon and as much as I like the kid, I could not feel good about the pick.  Mykel Williams scared me.  Both might be great players, but I could not see it.  So was Scourton productive? He was as a Jr when he was standing.  When asked to be other things, he lost his edge (pun intended). In essence, I think we got the best pure edge when you take away the other things he was supposed to do.  Walker's productivity was based on his versatility--something he would lose as a pure edge--so we would not really be meeting needs at edge.  Scourton, on the other hand, is better when not asked to be versatile.  Princely had 10.5 sacks in the SEC.  It simply makes sense.
    • I think they will too. Renfrow will use this opportunity to get in shape and get paid for it. After he's cut he will probably get picked up by someone after preseason.
