Preseason over..2025 predictions

[Cavscout]

8 wins...3rd place in NFC South 

[Icege]

6 - 9 wins with the biggest factors being:

• getting lucky with starters remaining healthy
• defense gelling together quickly
• young guys on offense turning it up

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

11-12 wins

[UnluckyforSome]

4 wins. They could get to 6 or 7 depending on lucky bounces and fortunate breaks. The real problem is that the offense will have to average 30-something points because the defense will easily give up 30-something points. They just are not that good enough unfortunately.

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.
