Panthers Will Be 11-5 Or Better This Year

Looking at our scheduled opponents, I'm thinking we will lose 1 home game to one of the Mannings and 4 away games...1 to Atlanta, 1 to New Orleans, 1 to Philly, 1 to either Chicago or San Diego.

Honestly, I can't see us losing any others...unless we get devastated by injuries again. And I could see us easily doing as well as 13-3. None of our opponents are particularly fearsome. We could lose to Tampa there, but I really think their coaches are going to struggle. College coaches don't do particularly well in the NFL. A lot, of course, depends on injuries and who we add to the roster...but I'm sincerely very optimistic.

if the offense keeps pace with last year, which it should, assuming the consistency looks more like the second half of the season, teams will have to put up 30 to 35 points to beat us. if rivera fixes the defense and improves even to a middle-of-the-road squad, 11-5 is not out of the range of possibilities.

Why do people do this...

Look, so much can change between now and these games. We could lose pivotal players through injury during camp, the opposing teams could draft well and pick up some great free agents - or even the new coaches could revitalise teams.

Stop trying to predict and just let things happen.

Im looking for a big year. Esp after getting injured players back and a year under the belt in the new system. Cam should be better which is a scary thought.

My only concern is #2 CB and our DL play.

Here's the good news: If absolutely nothing changed from last year, the experience itself along with a full offseason and TC should improve both. That said, I think Edwards will make a difference...how big, I dunno. I also think that Hogan will emerge as a bona fide #2 corner. And then we're almost certainly to address at least one if not both of these in the draft. I am confident of pretty significant improvement.

right, but these guesses are all about projections based on current information. based on what we know now, as well as what we're projecting from the draft and what is likely to be a very limited post-draft free agency period, and based on cam's progression last season and the addition of offensive line components and the departure of shockey and the return of injured players, we're making comparisons between this year's team and last year's team and determining where we will likely stand.

i get your point, and there's a such thing as taking it too far, but let's not be a turd in the punch bowl about it

Why do people post such useless nonsense? aka whining and complaining.

Like another poster pointed out. Its projections based on right now....

Therefore Vegas says 8.5

I'd like to see who we can add in the draft to this team before I predict our record. But, I'd be happy with a 10-6 record. I think we would be able to squeeze in the playoffs with 10 wins. The NFC is going to come down till the very end anyway.

I'd like to see who is healthy after the preseason and what band aid vets we add to the DL before I predict anything

      NFL Free Agency

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.

      DJ Moore traded again

      By Dingo_ate_Babies · Posted

      DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
