That insider deal could provide light, maybe someone checking this thread with a subscription could help. Another truth is panther gotten fasten since 2021 and still 5th youngest. 

Panthers for sure have one of the fastest teams, I am very comfy saying they are the fastest. Even the slow guys are fast compared to other teams slow players. 

 

Dude....I quite literally pasted their methodology from the article. I can read it.

That's why I called it suspect. Did you base that off just reading the title????

Nah I thought that for awhile now, just searched for some vision proof. My base is off of 40 times. They were the oldest team in 2019, youngest in 2021, and now 5th youngest. Each time(mostly) they added a player, he was a speed demon no matter the position. 

I need a research staff for this...

Yeah, you would literally need a staff to gather that data. I generally like going down these rabbit holes but I ain't touching that one. That is a SHITLOAD of work to verify that claim.

It's the start of the season and even I'm cautiously optimistic. We've got the players, we're healthy, the schedule looks good and the NFCSouth looks like it could be a train wreck around us. IF Rhule has found his place and is up to speed and IF he can lead these guys then we could make some headway.

I want Rhule to prove me wrong as I've been one of his most vocal critics over the past two seasons and if he does, I'll be a happy man.

He signed a 63 million dollar contract and was given the keys to the franchise. My goodness cut the waterworks here.

😂😂 I’m not a Rhule nut hugger… I just choose to not be negative all the time.  There’s enough of that everywhere else in the world.. And you say that 2 years into a 7 year deal?  How about I make you a deal.. you can have Rhule fired all you want .. Biden just has to be thrown out of office.. will either happen? No. Why? Because we have no control over either one happening. So worry about what YOU can control in your own life.. and STOP the bitching for Christ’s sake.  You guys moaning and griping all the time make us look like the whiniest damn fan base in the NFL.  I want Carolina to win as much or more than anyone else here.  I’m not tied to the head coach.  I don’t have to like or hate him. Because he isn’t the Carolina Panthers. Coaches and players come and go. I root for the Panthers irregardless. If you sit around here waiting for the perfect coach, I’ll make sure to stop by and put some flowers and Kleenex on your gravestone.  You might rise to the surface floating in your own tears by then.

Rivera did that with a prime Cam Newton.  Not something to gloat about. Respectable, but honestly should have done better. 

We definitely have been struggling with consistency if Coach Rivera's winning percentage is the benchmark established as the highest in franchise history. Not surprsed to see Rhule at the very bottom staring up at everyone else.

If Rhule wins 5 games this year, then I’ll be calling for his head too.  After 3 years, you better be showing some damn progress

Why do you keep trying to drag politics into discussions about our head coach? His record is what it is and that is the opposite of good. If you can't handle it being discussed you can choose not to open this website or these threads. He is a undeniable downgrade from the last head coach we moved on and that is a fact you are going to have to live with until he can prove otherwise this season. I hope he does I want a competitive team. But in the meantime I'm not going to engage in this self deception about his current record to appease your bizarre need to be a sycophant 24 hours a day. We will know some things for sure on Monday.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
