Funny you mention the Ravens because they're not built all that differently from us.  Yes the obvious difference is that they have Lamar Jackson, but he's essentially an extension of the run game.  At the end of the day they're built around a low-volume efficient pass game (limiting turnovers), playing tough defense, and cramming the ball down your throat in the run game while controlling the clock. 

Do you think the Ravens are capable of winning a Super Bowl with Lamar?  Or do you think they should get rid of Lamar and overhaul their entire offensive philosophy considering they're routinely towards the top of the league in rushing and bottom of the league in passing?  I'm genuinely curious because I hear a lot of people talk about how you need a dangerous passing attack to win in this league but those same people seem to generally consider the Ravens and Lamar Jackson as formidable contenders...which seems conflicting to me.

I’d say the Ravens are a LOT different than us.

Their offense runs through a dynamic playmaker at QB.    Which is a drastically different run to defend than running Hubbard/Foreman at folks.    What you are defending and the stress on the opposing defense is nothing alike.  It’s like prime Cam.  That’s not a comp O to what we are.  Cam and Lamar alter every down. 

Give me Lamar all day.  Easy.  We aren’t comparable. 

And we only have won games against teams in the bottom half of the league in run defense.   

The Panthers rush attack has been non-existent vs teams in the top half of the league in rush defense without CMC.  64 and 36 yards.  And that is with QBs and WRs adding to the total.  Ravens run on everyone.  They probably are averaging over 150+ vs the top half in rush defense.

I think McDermott lucked into Cam Newton Vol 2.  McD falls into the DC camp of HCs. 

I'd rather have McVay, Shanahan, Reid, type coach instead of a McD.  Because they can win with Jimmy G or Alex Smith or Goff.  

I can definitely understand that. But, look how those guys are mortgaging their future to win now on both sides of the ball. Those two teams have traded more picks to get draft position and players than almost anyone in the last five years.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
