Thanks for the welcoming words guys, as far as the Top 10 run D, I should clarify that I think that mostly because, I believe our schedule is pretty favorable and also that I believe once the Offense really starts clicking that hopefully a lot of teams will be playing from behind and have to abandon the run somewhat, I don't mean that our Run D personnel will be top 10 necessarily, but that would be nice

I just do not believe you can say that definitively. The truth is the team has the potential to be a top team in the NFC this season, at the same time the team does has potential to finish under 500.

I just think it comes down too all of our young players and how they step up across the board. We have seen flashes of some of them, but now they will have to perform on a consistent basis. I just think there are too many new pieces to say the team can not achieve this season. There are a lot of question-marks....But this team has plenty of talent with a high ceiling.

I'm hoping they will step up like the OKC Thunder did this year

I agree 100%!!!

I feel like people here have absolutely NOTHING to complain about until our team shows nothing in the regular season. I mean we havent even seen this team play a pre-season game and already "its a rebuilding year."

We should be nothing but optomistic about this year. We havent seen competition at positions like this in 10years!

Come one people...and GREAT first post.

I don't knock fuzz for his opinion...I think most of us are fans first and probably have an unrealistic sense of optimism (myself included) about the moves made.

I think of all the Colts defenses that Meeks ran, and they almost always struggled stopping the run. So I understand a lack of confidence in that area until we see how the new d-line performs.

I'll miss Peppers productivity, but I don't think he will perform as well now that he has his fat contract. (*except when they play against Carolina).

NOTE: This is not "complaining"...this is a person trying to put his heart aside and talk about his favorite team objectively.

i dont think its unrealistically optimistic to say this is a 9 win team.

Heck if I know how we are going to do this coming year, but it should be interesting. This is pretty much going to be a new team out there... maybe they've got it just right and we'll succeed beyond anyone's expectations.

:iagree:

Maybe (hopefully) it will take a few minor adjustments and away we go. i still firmly beleive that we will have a good showing either way....

I swear I'm not trying to tout my website on here, I know boards frown on that. Since I'm new to posting I don't want anyone to think I'm a liar about being a pro handicapper. My picks went 63% ATS last year including a 22-8 run to finish the season. Just for proving that I'm in fact not lying, here is my website

there I gave away my weekly picks with writeups for free each week last season, you can read my writeups and picks and see that they are in fact prior to the games occuring and judge for yourselves. Again, just want to say that I'm not trying to advertise these as I would have nothing to gain anyway since its the offseason, but it kinda seemed like Joe Mac didn't believe me

Mod note: no advertising.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
