6 wins in 25 makes a really uncomfortable offseason for Morgan and DC.    But I doubt there is change.  Seats will be nuclear hot but they get another chance.  

 

5 wins or less, oof all bets are off

It’s a Tepper owned team.   No way we don’t see some sort of big change if they only win 6 IMO.    

GM/HC/ or QB.   Someone getting replaced.

depending on the offense it probably would be bryce, morgan and DC can sell it as they want their guy in but I think 6 wins and they tepper probably runs it back, the question is bryces 5th option

6 wins is what I'd expect best case. Some decent consistency from offense finally paying off, but I suspect that not much will help overcome a rather lackluster defense with middling depth. Evero fired midseason resultingly.

Now that the Panthers have eclipsed 6 wins, I still have no idea what the identity of this team is.

Will say that Evero has vastly outperformed my expectations on the year. Deserves to be retained. This defense has outpunched its weight class.

Offense wise, it's anything but consistent obviously lol.

The defense has mostly stuck to the "break slowly" and get a turnover or two still zero pass rush

Very true. Which in part comes down to decent coaching philosophy yielding success. Reality is before the season I expected a bottom tier defense across the board.

Currently, the Panthers are tied for 4th in interceptions this year. They haven't been consistently abysmal against the run. They've actually held their own in quite a few games too. Sure, pass rush leaves much to be desired and that I expected, but Evero deserves props for implementing a scheme that's working overall this year.

Get this defense 1 legit pass rusher that teams need to plan around and look out

100% would probably be the biggest difference maker for this defense surprisingly. A lot less holes than I expected needed to be filled. Plus lots of good potential for Scourton to improve and hopefully Princely as well.

Defense getting huge production from rookies so hats off to Dan Morgan. Scourton was a great pick. But another pass rusher would be a luxury. Defense could be top 10 upgrading Nick Scott and Roseboom alone. How Nick Scott continues to get a gameday jersey I'll never understand.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
