I will go with 8-9, I think Bryce will be much improved with the new weapons.  Still a ways to go talent wise on the team though 

I would agree it would be 8-9.  I see the Saints being in last place once again.  The real question is who will be in first place will it be Atlanta or Tampa Bay?

This is a 5 win team tops.

Ya'll have fluffed me enough to reach 3....wins. 

For 7 wins- need the best health league-wide, young needs to 4k, 25TD, 8INT, evero wins ACOTY and tons of luck.

This team played in the worse division and was the worst team. It took miracles to win those two games, pouring rain, 4th down convS, and Eddy to spilt with NO time on the clock. Hella bad team and the overall talent dropped(minus BB, luvu, bell, etc), no true 1st and a rookie HC with only one year as OC.....the OC is younger than JJJ and thielen.....

I just hate to poo'd on fellow fans that want to buy the hopium....

I like the addtions on defense and believe our defense is going to keep us in many games.  If the offense  can put us in the 20-24 point range we might just have an above .500 season.

No one gave Houston a shot at making the playoffs this time last season.  Why can we duplicate what Houston did in 2023.  

9-8 and in the wild card hunt.

Gotta love optimism. 

If the defense gets a couple of injuries we are going to be getting blown out on a weekly basis. 

Weak pass rush + thin secondary

The downside to signing two guards to big deals is, if Icky struggles again, can’t slide him inside. It has gotten progressively tougher to project LOT coming out of college I know that. We are going to find out about him this year.

It might need to be a thing where you draft a flyer later every year until one works.

TBH, I think the bigger concern is now center. If Icky falters, there is at least a half assed option at LT. If Corbett falters, there is no other NFL caliber option at C. That could get really ugly, REALLY quickly.

LT is tough but at least you can ATTEMPT to have the guards, TE's and RB's help some. How do you help if the center is getting ragdolled(see last year for some rough tape of that)?

I was OTR as saying I did not see them taking a C high. Like Vegas, I wasn’t taking a side necessarily, more just speculating on what they would do. 

My deciding factor was I did not believe they wanted a rookie starting there.

I don’t see anything screaming they are stupid and feel like it is a fairly calculated risk based on their experience. I won’t condemn it before I see it, about that simple.

I don't understand the strategy at center even a little. TBD how it works out but it does seem to be heavily reliant on a magic 8 ball strategy.

Welp it will be one or the other. They will be vindicated in their judgement or crucified for the lack of it. 

They are new I am giving benefit of the doubt for now. We have enough mistakes from Fitterer and Tepper et al to be skeptical for sure but I’ll stick with the 2023 mistakes as my primary concern (QB) over whether we start a 2nd round rookie at C. It needs to be seen but that is where I lean.

For real, with this guy at QB being totally unproven, and you being tasked with bringing him into viability, would you feel that putting him under a raw rook would be the favored move?

I mean....aren't we doing that now?

    • 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  
    • 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.
