as of 3/12/24 what do you put our o/v at?  After yesterday mine went from 5 to 4.

Lol I don't know. That's the point. Bad poo can happen. But also good poo can happen.

(Sorry for the rant that's coming which is more than you asked for and not aimed at you. Coffee just kicked in).

We are in March. These are the first days of the off-season and we're all freaking out acting like the regular season starts fuggin Sunday.

Last year we had a really bad coaching staff. But at this point last year who knew it would be that bad? Nobody.

We have a new HC. Is it possible that it will be just as bad as last year? Yep. But is it possible it will be better in than last year? Also yep.

Do we know which it will be? Nope. No one does. No one.

I've reached a point where I'm done trying to predict what is going to happen and just put my energy into what I hope will happen and maybe allow myself to be a little naive. Why? Because I'm tired of feeling like crap about this team.

Canales is a guy who I think can turn poo around here. I'm a fan Morgan fan and I feel like he can right some wrongs made by his old friend. Making those corrections can hurt but if we get better in the long run it will be ok.

So how many wins do I think we'll have looking from this point? I don't know and no one does? How many are we capable of? I don't know and no one does.

Why? Because lots of poo can happen in the 6 months before the season starts and then lots of things can happen in the 4 months the season is going on.

We act like we're experts in here but we're all idiots. Ok...maybe that's just me. I'm an idiot. I'm just old and honest enough to know that.

True.  Just sooo many holes. 

Need

2 edge rushers

1 dt

1 ILB

SEVERAL CBS

SAFTEY

Let us revisit this post draft. 🤣🤣🤣

I think you need to double those numbers.  You forgot rotational guys and backups. We need not only starters but backups as well. It's always been that way and hasn't changed one bit.

How many games did we lead in last year?  Zero.  What was the next worse team?  No really, I can't find it.

We were historically bad in many ways.  How often does that happen multiple seasons in a row?  We're all hoping we don't have a repeat.

We're going to have a weak defense.  They will be well coached, but there will be a real lack of talent out there.  We're going to rely on our offensive line, Bryce Young, and the coaching staff to get us to some wins.  If we double our wins, that's still a poo season.  If we triple our wins, it's not a good season at all.  

Either of those scenarios are a sign of real improvement, even though both are pretty poo seasons.  I think we're in that 4 to 6 win area.  I think we'll be competitive, but teams will drive on us at the end because we're going to have a bunch of practice squad guys playing.  When we can get Bryce a chance to come back for the win, he will be pretty good there (he was 2/2 last year).

Thinking we go for a goose egg is very unrealistic.  Though more realistic than us winning the Super Bowl against the Chiefs (good AI laughs there).

Things are just getting started. They weren't going to win shitt with the roster they had. Building up some capital with the moves they made already. The draft and about 40 million for FA after the trades/restructured contracts and cuts, will help alot.

 

Cool your jets and let it play out.

Umm.... what???

Pretty sure he was like 2 out of 7 (at best) in games where we had the ball down 1 score in the last few minutes of a game.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
