this site is pretty interesting. i have looked at it in the apst but somehow forgot about it.

interestingly enough, it had us winning the NFCS in '08 (largely due to an easy schedule) but then going 8-8 last year.

this year it says that the biggest weakness is, of course, the passing game...mainly because of the weakness at receiver but it does have matt moore throwing for just under 3700 yards, 22 TDs and 7 INTs. not too shabby.

biggest strength of the team is williams/stewart and then having a top 10 defense.

i think that 11-5 is a bit high but it can be done.

fwiw...they had the eagles beating the patriots in the superbowl last year. still...they have a pretty decent track record of projecting the panthers record. take it with a grain of salt. its as accurate a predictor as anything else out there.

Top 10 defense? Do you really think that is going to be possible, and why? I'd definitely say we'd be in the top half of the league, but I think top 10 is a little too optimistic with all the holes we have.

I have always liked being pessimistic to save the big hurt that eventually comes. When Terg was at the helm, we generally chewed him out more than the players, now it seems we have found a guy who shows a great ethic, but may have a front line scapegoat...I just do not think Meeks is that prone to excuses. I love what he did, with what he had in the first year, considering a prima donna defensive end, a lame DT and a crowd of strangers. I'd never guess Top 10, but agree we'll be a tough defensive contender in the upper half of the upper half!

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
