Starting to hear this a lot more than I thought I would from the national media.

Trent Green, NFL network, has picked the Panthes as his surprise playoff team specifically pointing out Defensive play, actually saying Peppers who?, and inspired play by the entire team for John Fox!

Inspired play huh? Guess that would be nice!

Its really cause they dont see a QB turning it over

Many may question can he actually win games for us, but not will he cause us to lose games by horrid play. What those dumb fugs like Dukes is failing to realize is that our system isn't setup to have a Peyton Manning. How you a sports analyst and dont know that?

How to make daring picks for playoff teams before the season begins (media edition):

Step 1: Learn what a football is

Step 2: Make list of teams, seperating by division, ratings, and last year's record

Step 3: Pick team from each division with highest ratings as division winner

Step 4: Pick one team per conference that had a greater than winning record last year but didn't make the playoffs. These will be your Superbowl picks, with the team not in the conference of last years superbowl winners being this years obvious lock to win. These picks can be switched out if the team that "should have" gone to last year's Superbowl hasn't been picked yet.

Step 5: Pick one team that didn't achieve more than four wins in the previous year and select them as the second wild card pick for that team's conference.

Step 6: In the other conference, pick a team that had a great number of hardships (i.e. injuries or turnovers) and declare them as "improved". They will be the final wild card spot.

Step 7: Learn as much as possible about the teams you've picked so that you can later defend these picks or tell everyone how you just "knew" it. Disregard the rest of the league.

Step 8: Wait for offseason, forget what a football is.

Most of the analysts out there would be lost after step one.

The Panthers are going to make the playoffs this year... but I wouldn't say they're Super Bowl contenders just yet. I say they win 9 to 11 games and lose in the NFC Championship game. The only reason we'll reach the NFC Championship game is because of our defense. Barring any injury, we'll have one of the top 3 defenses in the league this year.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
