We have a better roster than the Texans, Seahawks, Falcons and Bears. And probably the Lions. I think the Bears have unequivocally the worst roster. I have them with the #1 pick in the 2023 draft. But since they are "Chicago", the national media completely ignores how bad that roster is. Can you name any skill players on that team?

 

Remove everyone's starting QB, we are one of the better teams in the league. Unfortunately QB makes all the difference.

I feel bad for Fields.  Drafted by a bad coach who wanted to push Andy Dalton and didn’t seem to want him.   And they literally have no talent to add his development.  Even less now.

Spent their first two picks in this draft on DBs.  

It’s routine to hate on Ron and what he didn’t do for Cam….but Cam wouldn’t of been rookie of the year, MVP, etc for all 32 teams.  He at least had a coach that was at least all in on the idea of Cam.  Read option.  Everything was at least about Cam in mindset.  He just didn’t get the OL right long term and I think got blinded by super Cam.  But he came into the league with Olsen, Shockey, 89, and two decent RBs surrounding him.   It’s about where you land so often in the NFL.

Let's see how it plays out. There are a lot of us who have been pointing out that this is the direction we have been headed and no amount of whitewashing it was going to change the overall results.

Still, even I've got to admit we know nothing about how this season will really turn out at this juncture. We just had a draft, the big free agency push and the first round of rookie camps in the league. No one really can say how things will be once the pads go on and the games mean something.

While I think we're set up to fail big right now (I don't believe in the coaching/game planning/overall well-being of the team), there's also a chance that Rhule will get built what he promised, that our draft picks will pan out beautifully and that the ball will fall the right way with us this year.

I'm really torn between my optimism/hope for my team and the evidence that our team's coaching, management and ownership really don't know what they are doing.

We are living in a weird space right now.

Lmao some of you guys are insufferable. I'd love to see the past comparisons of Power Rankings in May to the final standings.

Look at the teams that were ranked 32nd in the preseason power rankings the last few years and you will see a trend. Those teams all had terrible seasons that year...maybe we'll buck the trend though.

For the most part they aren't too far off.  ESPN had Houston 32nd in 2021 and they came in 30th.     The Bengals were 28th last year in preseason and ended up 2nd.    Not saying we're SB bound, just sayin.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      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.
