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

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
