what if sports picks panthers

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!

    • Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the contract. IMO, he's a borderline top 10 type of CB when healthy and he's missed damn near half of the games in his career. I hope it proves to be the correct decision but damn... it's a really tough sell to convince me that making him the NFL's highest paid DB is a wise move.
    • The draft isn't a vending machine where you insert a pick, press A3, and out pops a franchise cornerstone. It’s more like a gacha game - you turn in a premium (or non-premium) ticket, hear the fun little jingle, and wait to see what you pulled... without knowing how strong it'll actually end up. League-wide, the average draft hits on about 30 - 40% of its picks when teams have a standard seven selections. So if you walk away with 3 - 4 real contributors... that's considered a solid class. Hitting on 4 out of 11 is right in that range. To be clear: this isn't some veiled endorsement of Tepper, Fitterer, or Rhule. It’s simply an honest accounting of which players from that class are still with the Panthers and heading into their fourth year - and thus outlasting the average NFL career. Just trying to lean more toward more critiquing with clarity rather than lighting it all on fire for the spectacle of the flames.
    • Please do not forget that everything the NFL does is for the increase in revenue. If a big market team draws more money [ticket sales, betting revenue, TV ratings & etc.] when they play at home versus on the road in the playoffs, you can safely be sure the NFL knows & will act accordingly. Just like the draft lottery proposal, if the NFL can capture TV ratings for it, they will.
