I'd say 4-13 and enough close ones to not look completely terrible.  Hard to see us above the bottom 3-4 in the league.  If we're lucky, 6-11.  

Probably the lowest my expectations have ever been but we don't have a proven playmaker on offense.  Can't say for sure about the OL either or the playbook.  On defense, could be aight, ceiling is around #13-15 DVOA.  

If we still seem incapable of moving the ball against the bad teams, it'll be a problemo.

I kind of feel like this is why we drafted Brooks where we did.  Once healthy he has a pretty high floor IMO and should give us some sort of identity at minimum.  Was it high for a running back?  Yeah, especially for a team with so many needs, but I think Morgan just wanted picks that will be solid players at worst with high potential as well.  As weird as it sounds he was kind of a "safe" pick.

I see your angle and don’t disagree. Having a guy to be the lynchpin on offense is critical and could very well be Brooks. He’s a damn good RB. Outside of him and Benson, I don’t think there’s many in the past 5 years better than them as prospects outside of Bijan, Jacobs, Gibbs and Breece.

4-13

i just didn’t see any reason for optimism last year. Maybe we will have some better playmakers, but I don’t think it will matter. If we win, it’s because our offensive efficiency got marginally better but the defense is Top 5. Offense still won’t be able to score with what Bryce showed a year ago.

My biggest point of interest is actually not going to be Bryce but our offseason additions. If the signings and rookies look like poo, all bets are off for a few years. 

The biggesy hurdle we have is that FO and the cycle of terrible decision making year after year. If we can't at least pull back up to a Gettleman/Hurney level, we are in a lot of trouble.

Obviously so much has been invested in this offense in the 2023 and 2024 offseasons, and there are no more excuses for the QB. I would say that makes me more excited for this year than last. 

My biggest curiosity is scheme/Young what is that going to look like? I have my own general picture of what I think it will look like and if the people up front are what we are paying for then the running game should be much improved. At least from the standpoint of moving the LOS in the right direction when we need to have a yard. That would be a great help.

But I don’t know yet how they can get the defenses backed off and that’s what I am curious to see. 

I’m not worried really at all over the receiving options I think there are plenty it comes down to can they get the ball in their hands through the air.

5-12 seems likely imo. We don't have the weapons on offense, and Bryce is limited in what he can do. The defense is nothing special. We're going to run into the usual couple terrible teams, and throw in a fluke win against a decent team. If we win more than 5 games, then Bryce will have done more than what I'm expecting.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
