Sporters reporters forecast Panthers record

[KingKucci]

Does 6 wins cost Bryce his job?

[NYPantherFan]

We have the 5th easiest schedule this season. 7+ wins is definitely obtainable. The way the NFL hyped this team post-draft/talks about BY turning the corner/NFL trying to make XL a superstar makes me think the league has something up their sleeve.

Plus that whole "week 1 vs Jags" coming off a Ohio St. National Championship narrative.... were getting into the playoffs somehow.

No, but it might cost a coach or two their jobs.

That's a pick around 5-7.    I wouldn’t rule anything out if that happened

That's a maybe. With 6 wins they would be in position for a rookie at a higher draft pick. That was an easy pass this year but next draft it might be a much tougher call....especially with the 5th year option and extension begining in that same space.

Seeing the team be absolutely incompetent in the pre season makes me think 6 wins is out of reach. Hope Im wrong but damn that was ugly.

You didn't see the team be incompetent. You saw the 2nd and 3rd stringers playing what the sub coaches called. Nothing more. I don't think anyone really knows how the team will be at this point. I, for one, hope it is a continuation of late last season.

The win/lose record is a team stat that rests on the head coach. Players are judged on their individual performance. Young, along with every other player, will be evaluated on his stats and how he contributes to the overall team record.

The team record is on the coaches. The players are evaluated individually.

A guy named Adam Rank is doing rankings. Did he just get that job on name only?

The circumstances of the record outcome do effect players in those situations. Big payday vs try again is a real conversation teams have in those circumstances.

And the more important narrative... J Lo getting divorced for the umpteenth time

That's what the coaches are there for. They cannot let 1 player negatively impact the team overall. If that continues it's on the coaches. So the overall record is on the coaches. What they do and who they play is solely on them. Its a team sport and w/l record is on everyone, specifically the head coach.

Never doubt Vegas. 

Around 70% of their projections will land within 1.5 wins of the preseason totals. That's good but not perfect.

A couple of notable exceptions are:

2023 Jets: The were projected for 9.5 wins but Rogers was hurt week one and went 7-10.

2021 Bengals were projected at 6.5 and went 10-7 going to the SB. That was the year Burrows came back from an injury and Chase was added through the draft.

2023 Texans were projected for 6.5 wins but went 10-7 thanks to a phenominal rookie season from Stroud.

The point being, the emergence of a QB ( or decline) can change those lines quickly. IF, Young continues were he left off at AND Tet is what they hope, then the 6.5 projected wins could be another "notable exception"

Nothing about this roster screams 9 wins

In this roster's defense, neither the 2003 or 2015 rosters screamed anything but another lackluster season. Sometimes, you just catch the magic. Sure would be nice again.

Of course, both of those teams had established, game setting linebacking corps. And we've got... errr...
