Interesting stat for the Panthers

Several of those were more due to Carolina's offense than their defense. I have a sneaking suspicion the offense will have to score 30+ again this week to have a chance.

I don't agree. They are much more one dimensional than even the cardinals. I don't think Cutler is as good as warner and doesn't have a fitz, breaston and boldon.

They have royal and marshall. there d is ranked 27th overall, while there offense is ranked 8th overall. I don't think they can come in here and whip us. If we lose its because we play a let down game

I can't agree with that at all. We do pass a lot, but there is clearly balance...especially compared to Arizona. I believe I heard today that they have one of the worst ratied rush offenses in the league...if not THE worst.

Our passing attack is just fine. We have Marshall, who is going to own this league soon, Royal who some are calling, ironically enough, the next Steve Smith due to his size, quickness and incredible ability to maneuver in space and explode in the open field, and 2 very good TEs w/ Scheffler and Graham. Cutler still tries to be a cowboy, but he also doesn't bitch up like Warner does when pressure comes in his face. Dude is cool as ice. Sometimes that hurts him though cuz he fears nothing...including triple coverage on Marshall.

I swear, there sure are a lot of "next Steve Smith's" floating around the league. It's nice to know that we have the guy against whom so many are measured.

DeAngelo Williams is the next Barry Sanders, you know. And Jonathan Stewart is the next Jim Brown. Jake Delhomme used to be the next Brett Favre.

This may be true, but your running game is now on the shoulders of tatum bell. cj pope. This makes you, imo more 1 dimensional than arizona. they have a stud rb hightower who is for real. That's what i am talking about. over the course of the year you have been more balanced but you have so many injuries right now it has made you more 1 dimensional

Selvin Young is back and we are playing Corey Boyd as our physical runner. I'm sure some of you are familiar w/ Boyd. I will take a wait and see approach, but many were calling him a round 4/5 talent had it not been for his behavioral issues and subsequent suspension at So Carolina. I don't think we'll abandon the run.

Hightower does get into the endzone, but he only has 360 yards and a 2.9 ypc average. he's below average. I think his ability to find the goalline is great for him, but he's not a serious enough threat anywhere else on the field to make defenses respect the run.

Eddie Royal can be a Santana Moss but not Smitty. No receiver of Smith's type has the power or motor like he has which sets him apart from Moss.

I love that the Broncos are comming to town. If our defense, more like the secondary, shows up this game - i'll forgive them for all the other games (not talking about Chris Gamble though.)

    • seems like he wasn't quite himself when he came back from landing on his head. like his confidence wasn't 100%. hoping it is, though.  we've got a lot of potential here. i really like our TE room right now. RB corps is stacked. WR doesn't look too shabby either. and we are going to see some good things from BY too. 
    • It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.
    • That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.
