Will it surprise any of you if the Panthers finish 8-8 this year?

I have this feeling in the back of my head that it's very possible. The Titans started 0-6 last year and finished 8-8. I don't expect it, but it's not impossible. Fox has had some late season runs...even after starting 1-7 (albeit that was a season after a Superbowl appearance)

I would not be surprised, that's what this team does. Start off the season in the tank, get off to a miserable start thus flushing lofty expectations down the reality toilet, only to "turn it on" and look like overachievers once all of our competition has written us off as teh suck, and no one worries about playing us. That's when we steal victories from teams with some sort of playoff aspirations.

See 2009 as the latest example, then check 2004. I'm sure other seasons have fit this model as well.

I am still a 9-7 guy, I think that the D looked decent especially against a very good offense. The offense sputtered at times but we were one tackle away from probably winning the game, if D-will doesn't get tripped up he had a wide open field to run. Clausen will get better every game, as well as the rest of the team. If we can beat Chicago, who might be playing without their starting QB then we have a bye to get Smitty and hopefully Otah back on the field and then games against San Fran and STL. I have a good feeling about New Orleans at home and I think we beat Tampa, Cleveland, Seattle, Arizona, and Atlanta. 9-7!

I would be shocked

That would pretty much mean definite wins against

@Cleveland, San Fran, @St. Louis, @Tampa, Arizona

That would mean this team would need to win 3 of the following games

Baltimore, @ Pittsburgh, @ Atlanta, New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, @ Seattle

I don't see it

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
