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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
