Really only 4 TOUGH opponents there

DALLAS 

TEN

MIAMI

MINNY 

Every other game should be a toss up imo..

 

There's always good teams every year that are much worse the next year and bad teams from prior year that get much better 

Most predictions are jacked up due to this imo in the off season.  Most people aren't good at predicting the good and bad teams. Example the NFC east basically went from bottom feeders to winners. Packers shat themselves, Broncos shat themselves.  A lot of people were fairly low on the cheifs bc of Tyreek leaving. 

Also the draft is really going to shake things up. 

For the Panthers particularly I think it's mostly dependant on health.  Our CBs in particular keep getting injured every year, if they were both healthy last year we could've even won a playoff game or two, and that was with questionable QB play, interim coach without his own selected players, and Macadoo at OC. 

With everything we got already in the off season even just starting Dalton I think we could easily be a playoff team. If Young or Stroud is even remotely decent you're definitely looking at wild card + unless we get some critical injuries. 

I really think at minimum  8-9. Maximum 13-4 . Yea that's extraordinarily lofty for a new coaching staff and rookie qb but roster is stacked if healthy. 

Getting bunch of injuries you could throw all that out though. Injuries are usually key.

The only thing that worries me about this team is the Dline and oline depth.

Same here. And having addressed virtually every immediate concern, I see the draft playing out quite differently than I did 2-3 weeks ago. Now I think we actually drafts good deal of depth in these positions later on. We no longer need a WR early on in the draft. You could almost argue we don’t really have a lot of room for an early WR pick now unless we are giving up on TMJs development which I do not at all believe is the case. 
 

I think OL and DL depth we go for in the middle of the draft. Literally BPA in round to. Maybe a CB, LB, Edge, TE. Could be anything. But then I think OL depth will be tackled. It’s amazing to think about how many holes this roster had a month ago. Now suddenly it feels like there are very few remaining. Suddenly depth really is our biggest concern.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
