Regardless of where the Panthers place, I can only see them winning 6-7 games next year. Schedule is tough, we are not beating the Buc's and would be lucky to split with the Saints and Falcons. Thats 2-4 right there, not to mention we still have to play the Broncos, Rams, Ravens, 49ers, Browns, Bengals, 49ers and Cardinals.

 

But, Rhule will be for sure fired. So yay

The Buccaneers should win the division, but after that it’s a toss up who finishes second. An argument could be made for any of the teams…

Saints are still a team with good players and with Winston they were on track to make the play offs; however, no Payton this season, so will his replacement do as well? I’m not sure.

Falcons would be heavily reliant upon Matt Ryan having a big year and their defense coming together. Problem is, outside of Kyle Pitts, who is left for Ryan to throw to? No one really.

When it comes to us we’ve got our own downside, well, two major ones. First, no clear cut starting quarterback. Second, our lacklustre head coach. We can’t do anything about the latter right now, but if we can fix the quarterback spot then a second place finish is possible.

It’s still bucs in the drivers seat but 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are really up in the air. Saints have talent but it’s aging and Sean Payton-less now. The second time we played it was closer than people really give credit for.

Falcons roster really is in rough shape and if Arthur Smith wins 7-9 games next year dude is legit once the talent gets better.

IMO if we could get Minshew with the current talent on this roster.  We could compete.  If Rhule lets our OC run the offense we could make some noise.  

TB ran with a ton of veterans on a "last ride" mentality.  I'm not sure all those aging vets are going to age with Brady.   They'll be tough because Brady is there but the tooth is getting long in TB. 

N.O. is going to be a huge question mark.   As much as I hate to say it. Payton was an offensive genius and he's gone.  It is not a forgone conclusion that his replacement is going to be as good as he was regardless of the talent that remains.   Everyone knows Winston is good for 2 or 3 loses a year. 

Payton lost his MoJo when Brees retired. He knew it and moved on. We can all hope the experience on the Panthers coaching staff this year will make a difference.

I'm not buying that.  Payton was very good at what he did.  Though I hated the SOB he was a good head coach and barely missed the playoffs with erratic QB play after Winston went down.

I don't think his replacement is going to be anywhere near as good.

I did not say he was not a good coach. He realized that without Brees it would be more of a challenge. For someone who had contemplated a change anyway that was the deciding factor most believe. Being suspended a year by the NFL for trying to cover up bountygate should always place an asterisk by his name in any NFL records. Only coach ever suspended by the NFL.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
