i was impressed by their coaching staff last yr. i had them as the worst team, they were not close to that and mainly played hard with less talent...

their coach is vastly underrated. This guy is the son of a billionaire and could hold a million dollar a year meaningless job at FedEx but instead is watching tape and sleeping in the coaches office, he’s hungry to succeed.

 

i would not sleep on ATL

Interesting info about the Smith family.  Googled his father...interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_W._Smith

In 1962, Smith entered Yale University. While attending Yale, he wrote a paper for an economics class, outlining overnight delivery service, on which he received a “C”.

 

Was a minority owner of the Redskins..sold out in 2021 because of Snyder.

You had has sweeping them really , before either of our teams have played a single down ,before we even know who our starting QB is, hope doesn't equal wins, we might be playoff contenders, we might be worse than Rhule Era, that's the gamble with any new coach, especially one that was recently fired, and had the same QB by committy that Rhule had 

Some Panther fans need a reality check, we ain't done nothing yet

I still think one of our biggest advantages is our coaching  staff will bring on game day.  
 

I can’t wait to see Caldwell and Capers assist on setting up some mad scientist poo to put in Brown’s and Evero’s hands.

We were somewhat competitive with total shot gameplans let’s see what  happens  when we put the players in great situations on game day.

their roster is aggressively mediocre on D. I still see nothing threatening from a skill position group (or OL) that makes me think a toss up at young QB will be able to do much

Really ? The Falcons offensive line play improved in 2022 in a very similar fashion as the Panthers. The Falcons skill position group has improved too.  Drake London and Kyle Pitts catching passes with a 1k rookie running back (Tyler Alligier ) coming back with more confidence and experience in his 2nd year. Cordalle Patterson is a good 3rd down back. 

AJ Terrell and Okudah at corner with Bates roaming at Safety. Improved pass rush. They have a top 10 pick at their disposal for more talent too, while we use our top resource on our future QB.  I truly believe we are underestimating them if we think they won’t be a challenge. 
 

I think the Saints are going to fall on their face, while the Falcons improve and scare us for the better part of the season.

Panther Defensive additions:

  • Defensive End: Williams, Tuttle,  Anderson (counting him because he was out so much last season),
  • Nose Tackle:  Penisini
  • Linebacker: Grugier-Hill
  • Safety/Nickel:  Rowe, Bell

THAT is ALSO Seven Players (4-5 possible starters) that should contribute and allow us to use Chinn better.

Panther Offensive Additions:

  • Guard: McCray
  • Tight End: Hurst
  • Wide Receiver:  Chark, Theilen, Byrd
  • Quarterback: Dalton
  • Running Back: Sanders

Another Seven Players--4 starters (5 if you count Bozeman)--bringing the total of free agents expected to contribute to 14 players.

Ain't done nothing yet? We have put together a very strong coaching staff on both sides of the ball. We added a couple top notch players to what was already a pretty good D. We strengthened our Offense at every position. Although we could still use a Power Back and a true #1WR.

 

This team could make the Playoffs with Dalton starting. The only thing standing in the way of our ascension is when will our Rook QB start balling out.

 

I know I'm no expert like so many others around here appear to be. But this team has a chance to be pretty dang good. Pfft at Atl.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
