still thinking around 8 wins this year.

progress on our part and also we've got a ridiculously (at the moment) easy schedule. 

of course people look at us and see us as an easily winnable game as well, but i'm going to err on the side of us.

I'm sticking with Vagas and the 4.5 wins. I think we lose the war of attrition along the way and our depth will not be good enough to take the over.

I certainly hope you're right though. It will be much more fun playing spoiler to playoff hopefuls.

Im thinking 6 wins. Bryce shows massive improvement from his rookie season. We end up with a top 5 pick and draft Travis Hunter who we will use him primarily as a DB.

I’m thinking 5-6 wins too. Would rather have Will Johnson. Or even more would like to trade down 3-4 picks. Get another 2nd rounder. Morrison, Starks, Carter, Williams, or Graham.  Someone will still be there assuming a run on QBs.

If we win 8 games, I would consider that to be a very successful season.  We aren't winning 8 games unless we have something at coach and QB, which would be fantastic.

Johnson is elite, I just think Hunter is more dynamic. He's a threat after the INT. He can put points on the board on defense. Those type of defensive players are rare.


I do agree though DB is probably the position I would go if we do end up with a top 5 pick.

The key is letting Bryce make plays but not centering everything on him. Let him be the point guard and other guys do the heavy lifting as he distributes the ball and calls audibles. He can't do it all yet, maybe he never will, but he can be a critical cog in the offensive wheel and move the ball. I look at what Canales did with Mayfield and it gives me hope.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
