(By Scott Fowler, [email protected]) It is August, which means NFL predictions are flying. Nobody knows anything for sure - it's much like those scientists who predict hurricanes six months in advance - but it's always fascinating to hear the educated guesses about the Carolina Panthers.p/I had an interesting conversation recently with Jon Gruden, the former Tampa Bay coach and current game analyst for ESPN.

the prediction that wasn't-- more of the same. only thing he said worth quoting--

"I have so much respect for John Fox," Gruden said. "He's one of the top coaches in football. He's the winningest coach in Panther history. His players love him. What he did late last season - that says a lot. I have no idea what he'll be doing in 2011. But I'll tell you this - if the Panthers lose John Fox? Hey, I wish them luck. Because they'll need it."

...and I like Captain Munnerlyn at the nickel. He's going to be a fine player."
"On offense," Gruden continued, "Panther fans may not realize how good they have it. I have never seen a one-two running back combination like DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. And I mean never."

Grudez knows what's up.

I agree that the defense is the shakiest part of the team.

Our problems at WR can be diminished, but the D will be a problem. I see us looking like the Titans last year-a classically good defensive team with a suddenly toothless defense. Hopefully the line surprises me and the LB's gel.

      panthers offense 30 of 32 in yards per play

      My point exactly. Does that mean they have a poor offense? Of course not. That is why cherry picking stats without context rarely results in an accurate and fair assessment.

      Lotta football to go, and a lot of things can change.  Team health makes a huge difference down the road.  The big thing is and will be getting a rhythm.  2015 and 2013 are great examples.  That said, while we have a schedule, we dont really know who we're gonna play past a few weeks from now and by that I mean, like, end of october we're scheduled to play The Buffalo Bills...but between now and then, what if theres an injury to Josh Allen or just suffer a rash of injuries to any position group really.  Lots can change honestly and after 3 weeks, we're healthier than we were last year after week 3 with our only serious injuries to Hunt and Corbett (who...sorry the guy got injured, but Mays continues to outplay him).  the other injuries are short term return situations with JT Sanders, XL, and Coker.

      I get a lot more than you. Scheme dictates average yards per play for example. If you run a lot like Philly your average yards per play will go down versus a team that passes all the time. And if you only play 3 games  then one outlier like Jacksonville holds more weight than it should. Plus yards per play doesn't correlate to wins for example versus effectiveness in the red zone. So yeah I get it and know that stats like yards per game much like yards per play have little correlation with wins and loses and the final score is the only thing that matters at the end of the day not some BS cherry picked stat.
