WalterFootball... High on the Panthers for the NFC?

It wasn't a shining endorsement, but being the 14th best football team in the league would be a huge improvement for us.

We weren't just a QB away, though, and he doesn't touch on the other problems. We did address some of them, particularly committing to our O-line in a big way, but that defense looks spotty in the front 7 something fierce. And if we don't move Jeremy Chinn back to LB, then we're going to get run over again and again.

I don't get the gloom and doom on here. It's a long season and anything can happen.

We have 9 home games.  All home games are winnable.

We have Giants, Saints, Atl, Sea on the road.  We should compete in all.

We are not the only team that gets injured.  What if Stafford, Burrow, Jackson, or Brady get dinged up and have to miss some time.  Suddenly the Rams, Bengals, Ravens, and Bucs look vulnerable.

5 of our first 7 are home games.  If we are 4-3 or 5-2, maybe guys get confident.  Momentum ensues.  We upset some teams.  Who knows?  We came out of nowhere in 2015.  Maybe it happens again.

We have a competitive team.  We should be able to hang around in most if not all games.  Way too early to throw in the towel.

We have won 4 home games under Rhule in 2 seasons. We dont have a homefield advantage, our stadium is usually flooded with the other teams fans.

If we’re healthy we’re a playoff team, if we lose a couple key starters we’re a 5 win team.

About as accurate of a statement you will see on this forum. I think we are pretty strong starter wise at most positions, but we have very little depth outside of CB and maybe QB to survive an injury to a key starter. Let's start sacrificing some live chickens Pedro serrano style that our guys can stay healthy

He sounds like a Mayfield fanboi but hell, considering all the other doom and gloom here its worth noting some people are optimistic for us now. (when it was zero before)

I've been following "Walterfootball" for years.

He's bad.

Very bad.

One of the worst (among others).

I had no idea Walter football was such a nut job looking at his Twitter replies. I think his site is best left to keeping track of available free agents, everything else has turned kinda childish

They are consistently the best at predicting the draft (had first 10 picks correct in 2022 draft) and for tracking free agents. That's about it.

Looking at the schedule, I just can't see it, but I will acknowledge that we probably won't know if we're competitve until late September or early October and won't know if we're legit legit until late November.

Baker's going to make that big of a difference, huh? I'll believe it when I see it.

Well considering we've seemed to be very good/competitive for like the last 4 years in September/early October I'd say we need more time than that to determine anything. I'm still pretty shook by how absurdly bad we've been in the 2nd half of seasons the last 4 years. Just embarrassing season collapses after getting our hopes up.

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
