Will the Panthers be better than most are expecting?

Ask me after preseason. 

I want to see both lines play.  I pray they both stay healthy. 

If we can win in the trenches,  then there is a chance we win more than a few games.

I’d love a 6 win season, and yes that comment is a new low as a fan.

That's football.

Already a lot of good answers. I will add a new one….it depends on how our QB plays. 
I would also say that winning 5-6 games is still a really bad football team.

Only valid answer here.

Even if things look fantastic in camp I'm not buying it until I see it in preseason. Been bamboozled too many times.

And for the folks who may insist preseason is pointless and doesn't mean anything because no one wants to give anything away. We can dig up the threads of folks downplaying our putrid offense last August.

When your lines and wr's/db's are getting beat one on one in basic vanilla play calls it translates to the regular season. Especially when your 1's are getting outplayed by other teams 2's and 3's.

5-6 games isn't much of an accomplishment. You basically just need a couple lucky bounces and a couple of opponents not showing up. You're still one of the worst teams in the league.

But no, honestly I expect fewer.

Also regardless of win total, we need to see the offense putting up more than an average of 13.9 points per game, and if you take out Daltons 27 point game I don't even wanna calculate how much lower that number would be

Yes and definitely better than last year. 5-6 wins is hardly being a homer. Pretty fuggin realistic, tbh.

[Icy89]

I expect 100% improvement. So 4 wins…

Was basically gonna say this

[Waldo]

LOL at getting back to normal bad vs last year's terrible. So pick 5 instead of pick 1?

Just take a vacation dude. Or start talking about '25s QB situation. Or that the people in charge blew so much money on OGs and ignored C. But that kind of improvement is just getting back to Rhule ball lol

6 wins with a top 15 offense is what I am expecting (hoping)

 

Still feels like an uphill battle for numerous reasons
