Because of Rhule, the huddle no longer believes in measurables, but now totally buys into power rankings. lol 

Don't give a rats ass about power rankings, but I find this amusing.

And let's be real. After last year, we're in no position to complain about people doubting us.

This is exactly why espn is dumb, I would be shocked if we finished as the worst team in the league. 

I don't know if we'll be the worst, but there's a very realistic chance we're going to be pretty bad.

Biggest reason? Our head coach was thoroughly outcoached by five guys who were bad enough to get fired last year.

Even with an improved roster and potentially better assistants, that's a huge question mark.

I mean, it took the ball bouncing our way to help us squeak out those 5 wins last year. 

We caught both the Jets and Texans with rookies making their debut starts.   

Saints were displaced by a hurricane, injured and didn't have most of their coaching staff.    

Cardinals we got to face their backup QB and had the injection of Cam into the universe mojo. 

The Falcons had their #1 WR walk away the morning of the game (which shreds their game plan) 

Hard to project any team will finish last as generally in season events will help sort that out.  But I think another top 10 pick is clearly in our future.

I take the opinion of this so called power panel -- a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities  that evaluated how they think teams will stack up throughout the season very,very lightly.

In my opinion the Carolina Panthers should not be rated any lower than 26 out of the 32 NFL team.

I wouldn’t. If we have real injury issues we could easily be the worst team. We were lucky to start last year with the 3 teams we did. We finished 2-12 with a win agains the hapless Falcons and Arizona, who’s number we have lately.

Burns going down would be big.  CMC not staying healthy wouldn't be a shock.   Then what are we? We are Sam Darnold and a team that can't stop the run or rush the passer.

You seem pretty confident we should have lost all of our games last year. 

How confident are you this year?

Dead last seems pretty harsh but not completely out of the question. 
 

Atlanta splits with us when they are awful and the last we played Drew Lock, he looked like Manning.

I can’t confidently say we’d beat a Doug Pederson Jaguars team or a texans team that made improvements.

id say the bears, Falcons, panthers, Jets and Giants all could make a strong case for being the worst

I said it took the ball bouncing our way to get to those 5.  Which it did.  

and I told you in the post you quoted, I expected us to have a top 10 pick again when this season ends.  Schedule projects much harder.  So even a slightly improved Panther team might not show in the W/L column. 

How many teams do I think a Rhule/Sam duo can beat? Very few.  Would need the ball to bounce our way a lot.

I'm not convinced Burns is going to have a great season this year.

Teams know they can run on him now, and without a guy like Reddick taking attention away from him, he might not be as effective as a pass rusher either.

      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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      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.
