Panthers postseason chances


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

I climbed a mountain in Tibet and asked the man atop what he thought about the Panthers playoff chances. He said "Prayoffs? Who say any ting about prayoffs? PRAYOFFS? Panthers just trying to win a game."

What do YOU think of their chances? Give me a percentage.

Chances of winning division should be 25 percent, but Saints and Falcons are better, so I say 18 percent there.

Two wild card spots for 12 remaining teams, but gotta figure NFCE2 and NFCN2 have best shots at those. So the 17 percent chance if all things are equal is more like 12 percent.

I say 30 percent.

According to my scientific calculations, there is not enough imformation to completely solve the equation at this time.

While this may be true, charting the previous success of the Panther Project and taking current data into account it is possible to make an estimation at the success rate of the project this year. However, the error for this estimation, which in itself is estimated, is thought to be 80%.

i have to see our team play in a few preseason games before i can make a guesstimation. there's a lot of unproven talent at key positions.

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
