Cowherd Says We Go 7-9


Recommended Posts

Not sure why he was running down records around lunch time. He said Falcons will win the division, and our schedule is just too tough.

Hear the segment below

as much as poeple hate him, the man knows football. Was disappointed that he thinks we'll just be 'ok' albeit improved.

Cowherd knows football? Even Cowherd himself admits he isn't much of a sports expert....deems himself more of a people expert.

Cowherd also is a big market guy who can count on one hand the number of Panther game he has watched over the last 5 years.

Cowherd often can have a good pulse on fans and national view points...that's about it.

He bets on the game all the time, believe me; while he's a hack for MLB, etc. he knows College and NFL football. he does. He gets it big picture. Listen to him during the season this year. He gets it.

Cowherd is one of the most intelligent people on ESPN. I know that's like saying you have the fastest kid in the special olympics, but he gets it.

His tune sure has changed though. He's been all over Cam and the Panthers since about week 14. But I gotta admit, if our defense plays like it does last year, or Cam gets hurt....7-9 is a legitimate possibility.

Personally, I have them around 9-10 wins and a trip to the playoffs.

if our ST and D were in the neighborhood of being almost average.....we would have made the playoffs last year.

If Cam gets hurt early. We will be looking at 3 wins or so....

I start every season at 8-8....will move up or down once preseason starts and we know what we got

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
