ESPN - Best NFL Starting Lineups

The LB and DB rooms have a lot of question marks going into this season... I won't be surprised if the defense is better but not completely turned around.

At the same time, this has been almost a total rebuild between this season and last... a group or two had to be the weak spots while other areas get shored up first.

The D has no choice but be better. If they are close to this past year, after 6 games fired evero.

 

I knew once Sean Payton let him go, that should have been enough on his worth. I thought he was one of the youngest rising stars in the league and he should have been the HC if Dave was the other option.....Then this past year happened.... I watched each week with NO improvments and nothing on smart game plans...... Just the worst defense in the Panthers history. I do not care if DBrown was a monster and DMVP of this group, make adjustments and figure it out. The best DCs always find ways, evero just put it on cruise and got nothing. He's also had a say in drafts and nearly all the FAs, thus far some school of the blind DC would have the same results.

 

Just a big year and Im completely out of excuses. Plus I have a short hook if they are looking bad, in fact 4 games Im ready.

Well, it seems a little confusing, but I guess not: I guess they're thinking that we're going to the way that our receivers go. Barnwell just ranked us 31 at the (so-called) offensive skill positions. ESPN just doesn't think that much of the Panthers. I wonder if it was the O-line that bumped us up one spot, because they obviously don't think that much of our safety position, or our pass-rush. In any event, there should be ample enough bulletin board material here for the team. 

I mean, I think you will really struggle to find many prognosticators that don't have us in the bottom 5. Part of it is that we do have a bottom 5 overall roster(still true) and part of it is that we have more question marks than most rosters. Finally, we have consistently been a bottom 10 team for close to a decade now. Nothing is really a safer offseason projection that putting us there.

Evero was setup to fail by design last year and then took the DB hit on top of that.   I don’t love Evero but it’a far more on the front office than DC in terms of what happened last year.    

and the Carolina O was 31st in time of possession in addition to all that
