Jim Mora Playoffs GIFJust kidding. Somebody had to do it. I’m actually all aboard that hype train this year. I seriously think Baker is gonna be a breath of fresh air for us after the complete dogshit we’ve had under center for the past 4 years or so.

I searched youtube for the full Skip Bayless video where he talked about Panthers in the playoffs and this was one of several videos to show up.  According to that  pff podcaster, a "surprising" number of people are a bit more optimistic than the fans at the Huddle.

Most people had us in the bottom 5 teams before adding Baker. You said yourself that Baker was the 18th-20th ranked QB.

I dont know how that makes that much of a jump. I would love for us to make the playoffs and contend, but I just dont see it.

If Sam doesn’t throw an Int to Slay, we beat Philly, if he doesn’t throw it right to a Vikings cb, we beat Minnesota, if he doesn’t turn it over for that pick 6 against New England, well…we might have won.

This roster even with Matt Rhule at the helm can get you to 8-9 which will probably get you playoffs in a weak NFC.

Yea I never understood most of the hate.  Certain media outlets having us in contention for the #1 pick etc.  We won 5 games last season, we were 1-7 in one score games.  Just becoming average in those games would put us in the running late for a wildcard.  Then add (on paper) a much improved oline, a (for now) healthy CMC, Horn back, and a qb that's not Sam Darnold and we may still be a below average team but I also wouldnt find it that shocking if we are in the hunt for a wildcard spot pretty late in the season.  Who knows though.  I just didnt understand all the rhetoric about being one of the worst teams in the nfl.

I had believed the hype that Cleveland had this elite line.    Well, that elite line allowed Baker to be sacked more than Sam last year and had the 19th highest pressure percentage.  It also had the 5th shortest pocket time at 2.3 seconds.  Sam had 2.4 seconds, he actually had more time to throw.

Let me clarify, they were 19th in pressure percentage.  The Browns were 27th in sacks last year with 49 sacks across all QB's.  We were 28th with 52 sacks across all QB's.

In any event, I didn't watch Browns games.  But the stats don't seem to jive with the PFF rating.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
