Sporters reporters forecast Panthers record

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 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.

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

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.

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...

    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
