So our improvement depends on how bad the rest of the division is and not how much better we are? 

improved record...yeah sure. i mean we don't have a difficult schedule as it is especially for the first half. if we are playing like we did at the end and can actually improve on that (very little reason to believe that won't happen) then we could easily find ourselves hitting the mid point with 4-5 wins. if things are gelling and we've got in a groove we could see that bump up to 8 or 9 wins be seasons end. 

i think this is completely reasonable. we just don't need to see a regression like we did with BY the beginning of last year.

19-0 BABY!!!!! 

Keep Pounding' drum will be at Super Bowl

Let's face it, that last Super Bowl season, none of us saw it coming. Most had us at 7 wins.

Heck, the first Super Bowl season, they had us for less probably.

It's about time for another surprise run.

One game at a time

We need to beat the (insert next team) next week

We need to focus on the (insert next team)

If we play our brand of Football we will be ok

We are playing to win next week, then the division, then we'll see, once you get to the playoffs, everyone is 0-0

We'll be looking to put our guys in a position to win

 

 

 

ETA

17-0 baby!!

to an extent we still will be what we will be.  We haven't drastically changed.   We likely will be a bottom 3rd defense.  We will likely be a bottom 3rd pass attack.   

I expect us to improve but we were really bad in both areas last year, so while we should improve in both areas.......I don't expect an Earth shattering change in those 2 departments. 

Bryce Young had 17 total TD and 4 picks his last 8 games. People don't realize how solid he was. We drafted a WR in round 1.

Signed league average to above average players for front 7. Added Moehrig. I think you are a tad too low on what Dan has done.

I'll go 9-8.

10 wins if we get Alabama Bryce (the Carolina Reaper) at the beginning of the season. 

I mean you could certainly make that case put its depending on us catching some breaks, teams in our division dropping off unexpectedly (atl, tampa) and most importantly being basically injury free to thread that needle.  And if there is anything a panther fan knows, for what ever reason, we havent had a relatively injury free season in what feels like forever. 

 

But I may be crazy, but I agree our schedule is set up very nice to get some really good momentum going into 2nd half of the season

Devils advocate:

He averaged 200yards/game and 60% completition.  5 of those 17 game against a poo falcon team that wasnt playing for anything

yeah, we drafted a WR in round 1.  All signs points he is going to have a development window.  Just like XL (another first round WR).  Neither of which are natural pairings with Bryce Young and how he plays the game.   Drafting Tmac isn't going to drastically alter things this season most likely. 

in his final 8 games.....he was also meh/okay in 5 of the 8.  Which is great given what he was, which wasn't shouldn't even be on a NFL field caliber.    But the Panther passing attack as a whole or even cherry picked to only post benching......was a subpar NFL pass attack (which ranked dead last on the season). Too many IMO focus on the improvement vs where it actually stacks up vs the rest of the league.    

again, the defense SHOULD improve.  Almost a certainty.  It was historically horrific.  So even a good improvement there leaves in the bottom 3rd of the league.

Jaycee Vs. Hunter is good.

Well two things, first is that it wasn't just about seeing a good matchup, it was getting the college matchup re-match between the two of them and current Top 10 picks.

And second, I doubt we see all too much of Jaycee vs Hunter either, I'd think we'd be more likely to have Jaycee on BTJ more often than the rookie in his first game.

Horn doesn't generally travel so the Jags could get him on Dyami Brown....

Horn should be on Thomas Jr 100% of the snaps IMO.  That's what he is paid to do.

      Panthers schedule is out

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.

      Ticket Prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down

      yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
