Roster has been improved on the O-line and DB side. 
Weaknesses are potentially D-line and definitely QB. 
A bad D-line can bring down even a good DB group. 
Same with a bad QB can bring down the entire offense. 
I agree and disagree with 5.5 wins. This team could be a playoff team or be competing for the number 1 pick.

I think our dline will be ok, but i am a glass half full person on this board. This article likes us too:

Fantasy article but still....

The Panthers' defense was underrated in 2021. Yes, the team struggled, but the offense holds the majority of the blame. The Panthers' defense finished 15th in DVOA and was middle of the pack in sacks. The defensive line did a good job getting pressure as they finished second in pass rush win rate. 

This unit has a ton of upside heading into 2022. Brian Burns is a star in the making, and Derrick Brown and Yetur Gross-Matos have the potential to break out. There is not a ton of depth, but watch out if the starters stay healthy.

He was perfectly healthy in 2019, in fact he had a record breaking season and we still won 5 games.  Running backs dont win games anymore in the NFL.  Its a new day.

Yeah, that's another thing.......

It's fine to say you want to be a road grading, run it down your throat offense but name the amount of teams in the NFL that have great success with that strategy.

Regardless of our running proficiency, we will need some competent QB play.

We've won 5 games the past 2 seasons, the question should be....What the fug are you watching? 

The key word in my op was “HEALTHY”, you know free of injury. I mean damn man, he’s the best RB and receiver on the team, the best dual threat in the league. So yeah, when your best player is out you’re going to lose most of those games. What happens if CMC plays in the Dallas, Philly and Minnesota stretch last year?

Honestly, I'm looking at our schedule, our coaches and our players.

I've got three maybe wins, New York Giants, Falcons, Falcons. I'd throw in one win to a team that will be surprisingly bad (not sure who it will be, but there's always one of them). 

I can't get behind even five wins. Steelers? Nope. Even with questions at QB, they're a better team and better coached. They can just keep handing the ball off and run us over. Detroit? That's a bad team getting better. We're a bad team spinning its wheels. Seahawks? Better coaching and they take us after a bye wherein we may have just lost our coach and folks are making January vacation plans on the team.

Yeah, I love some of our additions this off season, but I just have no faith in the coach. That being said, I'd love for him to prove me wrong, wrong, wrong, but that ain't going to happen.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
