ESPN's 2009 Strength of Schedule


PantherRush

Recommended Posts

According to ESPN's John Clayton, it's going to be an uphill struggle for us in 2009 because of our second-ranked strength of schedule:

Our history after playoff years:

1996: 12-4, Won Division

1997: 7-9, missed playoffs

2003: 11-5, Won division

2004: 7-9, missed playoffs

2005: 11-5, Wild Card

2006: 8-8, missed playoffs

2008: 12-4, Won division

2009: ?

because history is always the accurate gauge of the future.

we are doomed to repeat what has happened in the past.

mail it in guys....it's much easier to go with no hopes so that you can't be crushed if things don't work out.

Your schedule is brutal, and it's the exact same non-conference schedule the Cardinals played last year. With the parity in the NFC south it's even tougher.

I see we play you guys again in Arizona this year. Some how we seem to play each other every year. I am sure you will want some revenge after the beat down you experienced in the playoffs. :beatdeadhorse5:

See you guys in Arizona this fall

I believe its like the 6th consecutive year the Cards and Panthers are meeting up... Yea, I'm excited to see that game aswell..

Can't forget about the first game, how Carolina won by some kind of miracle when the Cardinals kicked their ass the entire game. Then how the playoffs played out and the Cardinals stood no chance, walking into the Panthers stadium where they were 8-0 and dissecting every faucet of the Panthers team.

Basically, force Jake into making mistakes with the game close and then build a bit of a gap so the Panthers abandon their bread and butter (the run game)... then sit back with your popcorn and watch Jake's amazing ability being highlighted lol..

    • What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)  
    • Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
    • 184 yards game, 61% completion 11 tds 5ints    thats ranks :check notes:  25th in the nfl
